The numerical simulation of strongly unsteady flow with hundreds of moving bodies
A methodology for the simulation of strongly unsteady flows with hundreds of moving bodies has been developed. An unstructured grid, high-order, monotonicity preserving, ALE solver with automatic refinement and remeshing capabilities was enhanced by adding equations of state for high explosives, deactivation techniques and optimal data structures to minimize CPU overheads, automatic recovery of CAD data from discrete data, two new remeshing options, and a number of visualization tools for the preprocessing phase of large runs. The combination of these improvements has enabled the simulation of strongly unsteady flows with hundreds of moving bodies. Several examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
