β¦ Synopsis
An adaptive meshing based on the r-method is developed for two-dimensional unsteady non-linear flows with a free surface. Coupling of a boundary element equation and a weighted residual formulation of the pressure equation on the free surface is employed in solving the wave problems. A mesh optimization scheme is constructed for these two matrix equations. The final mesh distribution on the free surface is determined from the weighted average of these two adaptive meshes. Through numerical analyses of a non-linear sloshing problem and solitary waves in a tank, the influence of time interval of the remeshing and the weight factor for two adaptive meshes on the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach is investigated.
