Space-Time Computational Analysis: From Inception to New Generations
Tayfun Tezduyar, Rice University
Space-Time (ST) Variational Multiscale (ST-VMS) method [1] and its predecessor ST-SUPS [2] have a good track record [3] in computational analysis of complex fluid-structure interactions (FSI) and flows with moving boundaries and interfaces (MBI). The classes of challenging problems with successful analysis range from spacecraft parachutes to flow-driven string dynamics in pumps, from stent-treated patient-specific cerebral aneurysms to heart valves, from turbocharger turbines and exhaust manifolds to tire-aerodynamics with actual tire geometry, road contact and tire deformation. When an FSI or MBI problem requires high-resolution representation of boundary layers, ALE and ST methods, where the mesh moves to follow the fluid–solid interface, meet that requirement. Moving-mesh methods have been practical in more classes of complex FSI and MBI problems than commonly thought of. With a number of complementary methods [4, 5, 6, 7] introduced in recent years, the ST methods can now do even more (see, for example, [8, 9]). We provide an overview of how the ST methods started, how they evolved over the years, and the classes of challenging problems that can now be solved.
