How to add new nodes in a sliding mesh simulation

Simo2001 · June 22, 2024, 12:01

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working with sliding meshes in su2 and I'm trying to modify the code to perform a new interface treatment.

The idea I developed requires to add some nodes in the grid in specific positions.
I know that, for each new point, I will have to define the coordinates of the new point but also, the neighbouring points, the linked edges, the connectivity, whether it belongs to a marker or not and possibly other things.
I assume I will have to work with the CGeometry class and its child classes but I don't know how exactly.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks
S

This is very challenging.
Does it really need to be performed in real-time? If it is not needed every iteration, you can create a python function for it and just create an entire new instance of basically everything.

Actually, it's not needed every iteration. It has to be done only once at the start of the simulation.

Then I would just read the su2 mesh in python or something similar and manipulate the mesh. Just make sure that the mesh is conformal, no hanging nodes allowed.
Or if you have created the geometry in gmsh, you can rebuild it from there maybe...
