Abstract

A mesh-free interpolation method for the use in aeroelastic aircraft simulations was implemented. The method is based on a weighted moving least-squares (MLS) approach for solving the spatial coupling problem arising in such problems. The paper presents the fundamentals of the MLS-based method and its advantages over the popular and often-used mesh-free interpolation method of Wendland et al. [1, 2]. Further emphasis is put on the description of the parallel implementation of the MLS-based method. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated with selected interpolation test cases.

In the GSB method, the compact support radius \(\delta _j\) entering the RBF (see Eq. 5) has to be the same all over the computational domain. Otherwise, the interpolation scheme will not be consistent.

The compact support radius \(\delta _j\) associated with \({\mathbf {x}}_{F,j}\) is determined then as the distance of the point that is farthest away from \({\mathbf {x}}_{F,j}\) among the \(N_\delta \) support points.

The fuselage mesh components which are part of the original HiReTT configuration as defined in [13] were not considered in this paper.
