Title: ALE shock calculations using a stabilized serendipity rezoning scheme

Conference ·

A rezone stencil for ALE shock calculations has been developed based on a stabilized variant of the serendipity element. This rezone stencil is compared to the Winslow rezone stencil. Unlike the Winslow stencil, which equalizes element volumes as well as node angles, the serendipity stencil equalizes node angles only. This may be advantageous for calculations involving strong density gradients such as those associated with shock compression. 5 refs., 5 figs.
