Three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction using a finite element solver and adaptive remeshing

Abstract The combination of adaptive remeshing techniques, flow solvers for transient problems with moving grids, and consistent rigid body motion integrators in three dimensions is presented. The resulting scheme allows the economical simulation of fully coupled fluid-rigid body interaction problems of arbitrary geometric complexity. Several results, showing three-dimensional store separation, are given to demonstrate the capabilities developed.
