An Implicit Scheme for Moving Walls and Multi-Material Interfaces in Weakly Compressible Materials

Abstract

We propose a numerical method for the simulation of flows from weakly compressible to low Mach regimes in domains with moving boundaries. Non-miscible weakly compressible materials separated by an interface are included as well. The scheme is fully implicit and it exploits the relaxation all-speed scheme introduced in [1]. We consider media with significantly different physical properties and constitutive laws, as fluids and hyperelastic solids. The proposed numerical scheme is fully Eulerian and it is the same for all materials. We present numerical validations by simulating weakly compressible fluid/fluid, solid/solid and solid/fluid interactions.
