Barker | Usually you discretize the geometry (say, with finite elements) so that the boundary integral is approximated by a sum of integrals, where each one can be represented nicely (say, with a polynomial). The standard reference for ALE is Donea, Giuliani, Halleux, Comp. Meth. Appl. Mech. Engrg. 33 (1982) pp. 689-723, but I'm not sure it will be quite what you're looking for. | |

I have seen some problems which have been solved with ALE methods, but I am still somewhat in the dark as to how complicated solid geometries might be expressed. It seems to me at first glance that such methods rely on the computation of boundary integrals to represent the energy contributed by the solid boundary, however perhaps I do not have a good mental picture of how such solid bodies could be dealt with. Do you perhaps have a good reference/example? | |
