Application of Unstructured Finite Volume Method in Structural Static Mechanics

Abstract:

Unstructured finite volume method applied in structural static mechanics has been discussed to direct at the difficulty of dealing with irregular boundary, unstructured triangle elements have been used in computational domain, the basic equations of unstructured finite volume method applied in structural static mechanics has been deduced. Comparing the unstructured grids with the structured grids, the former has obvious advantage on dealing with irregular boundary by theoretical analysis. According to examples analysis, the comparison of numeric results with analytic solutions and FEM solutions showed the effectiveness of the unstructured finite volume method.
