ALE (Arbitary Lagrangian Eulerian) examples

[hoomanya]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had any examples of ALE codes in any dimension and using any method (FEM, FVM, FDM). I just need to know how the mesh velocity and the fluid velocity are dealt with.

Many Thanks,

H

Try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LS-DYNA (and the links to the LSTC sites on the wiki page)

If you can't find what you want to know on the LSTC sites, get in touch with them and they should point you at their published papers, etc.

Thanks. I look on their website and the ALE section but there seems to be no code and I don't think they would provide their actual code. But I e-mailed them anyway.

Thanks again! :)
