Abstract
Spring analogy method for dynamic unstructured grids is studied. The stiffness of the springs in the vertex spring method is analyzed. Improvements considering squashing spring effect and boundary effect are developed to the standard method. Applications of the improved spring analogy method to dynamic grids generation show that the new method greatly improves the deforming ability and the quality of the grids. This improved unstructured dynamic mesh method, coupled with ALE Euler solver, is then applied to simulate unsteady transonic flow about harmonious oscillation of rigid wing and bend-torsion oscillation of high-aspect ratio sweepback wing of High-Altitude-Long-Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicles; computational results are in good agreement with those of other literatures and experiments
