Abstract:
      As we know, most of finite volume schemes in ALE(Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) method are constructed on the staggered mesh, where the momentum is defined at the nodes and the other variables (density, pressure and specific internal energy) are cell-centered. When remapping of mass and momentum on the staggered mesh, this kind of scheme must use a cell-centered remapping algorithm twice that is very inefficient. Furthermore, there is inconsistent treatment of the kinetic and internal energies. A new first order algorithm about computing the velocities at the nodes is introduced by Abgrall R. et al. In this paper, we reconstruct interpolating polynomials for the values of cell average by using the least square method, and from a new first order algorithm. With a high accurate remapping algorithm, series of numerical experiments are made with our arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method Results show that the method is not only effective, high accurate and convergent, but also remains the consistent treatment of the kinetic and internal energies.
