Abstract
Lagrangian shock hydrodynamics simulations will fail to proceed past a certain time if the mesh is approaching tangling. A common solution is an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) form, in which the mesh is improved (remeshing) and the solution is remapped onto the improved mesh. The simplest remeshing techniques involve moving only the nodes of the mesh. More advanced remeshing techniques involve altering the mesh connectivity in portions of the domain in order to prevent tangling. Work has been done using Voronoi-based polygonal mesh generators and 2D quad/triangle mesh adaptation. This paper presents the use of tetrahedral mesh adaptation methods as the remeshing step in an otherwise Lagrangian finite element shock hydrodynamics code called Alexa.
