Mesh rezoning - motivations<br />

• Rezoning (ALE) is necessary because<br />

Lagrangian solutions suffer from excessive<br />

distortions and entanglement:<br />

Lagrangian, triangles<br />

ALE, manual rezoning,<br />

quadrangles<br />

ALE, automatic rezoning (Giuliani’s)<br />

Mesh rezoning - types<br />

• Rezoning (in this con<strong>text</strong>): motion of nodes belonging to an<br />

ALE mesh, at constant mesh topology.<br />

• Do not confuse with remeshing, adaptivity etc.<br />

• Kinematic:<br />

• Slave node follows master node<br />

• Nodes along a line are piloted by master end-points<br />

• Nodes inside a triangle, quadrangle, etc. move homeomorphically<br />

• Geometric:<br />

• Mean value algorithms<br />

• Giuliani’s method: minimize triangles/tetrahedra distortion<br />

• Mechanic:<br />

• Solve elasticity eqs. for dual mesh (ALE grid) considered as a<br />

solid (continuum, bar assembly, etc.), but this is implicit!<br />
