A cell-centered Lagrangian ADER-MOOD finite volume scheme on unstructured meshes for a class of hyper-elasticity models
share
In this paper we present a conservative cell-centered Lagrangian finite volume scheme for the solution of the hyper-elasticity equations on unstructured multidimensional grids. The starting point of the new method is the Eucclhyd scheme, which is here combined with the a posteriori Multidimensional Optimal Order Detection (MOOD) limiting strategy to ensure robustness and stability at shock waves with piece-wise linear spatial reconstruction. The ADER (Arbitrary high order schemes using DERivatives) approach is adopted to obtain second-order of accuracy in time as well. This method has been tested in an hydrodynamics context and the present work aims at extending it to the case of hyper-elasticity models. Such models are presented in a fully Lagrangian framework and the dedicated Lagrangian numerical scheme is derived in terms of nodal solver, GCL compliance, subcell forces and compatible discretization. The Lagrangian numerical method is implemented in 3D under MPI parallelization framework allowing to handle genuinely large meshes. A relative large set of numerical test cases is presented to assess the ability of the method to achieve effective second order of accuracy on smooth flows, maintaining an essentially non-oscillatory behavior and general robustness across discontinuities and ensuring at least physical admissibility of the solution where appropriate. Pure elastic neo-Hookean and non-linear materials are considered for our benchmark test problems in 2D and 3D. These test cases feature material bending, impact, compression, non-linear deformation and further bouncing/detaching motions.
