A Conservative High-Order Method Utilizing Dynamic Transfinite Mortar Elements for Flow Simulation on Curved Sliding Meshes
We present a high-order method for flow simulation on unstructured curved nonconforming sliding meshes. This method utilizes dynamic transfinite mortar elements to exchange flow information between the two sides of a sliding interface. The method is arbitrarily high-order accurate in space, provably conservative, and satisfies outflow condition. Moreover, it retains the accuracy of a time marching scheme, and thus allows substantial reduction of rotational speed effects when equipped with a high-order temporal scheme. The method's capability of simultaneously handling multiple rotational objects is also explored. Details on the implementation are provided as well.
