Abstract
An adaptive (Lagrangian) boundary element approach is proposed for the general two-dimensional simulation of confined moving-boundary flow of viscous incompressible fluids. Only the quasi-steady creeping (Stokes) flow of a Newtonian fluid is examined. The method is stable as it includes remeshing capabilities of the deforming moving boundary, and thus it can handle large deformations. An algorithm is developed for mesh refinement of the deforming moving-boundary mesh. Several flow problems are presented to illustrate the utility of the approach, with particular emphasis on cavity filling and viscous fingering, as applied to conventional and gas-assisted injection molding. The accuracy of the method is assessed through the problem of jet flow and the transient fountain flow between two flat plates. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
