ELEMENT FORMULATIONS REVIEW
A physical process involving fluids or fluid-like behavior may often be modeled in more than one way, using more than one solid element formulation. In LS-DYNA, the *SECTION_SOLIDcommand is used to specify the element formulation ELFORM:
ELFORM:
1 = Constant stress solid (pure Lagrangian formulation).
5 = 1-point ALE element (single material domain).
6 = 1-point Eulerian element (single material domain).
7 = 1-point Eulerian Ambient element (single material domain).
12 = 1-point ALE single-material-and-void (two-material domain).
11 = 111 = 1--point point ALEALE multimulti--material element material element most versatile and most versatile and widely used ALE formulationwidely used ALE formulation

ELEMENT FORMULATIONS REVIEW
Element Formulations and Applications:
Let us consider a 2D example, a solid material is moved and thendeformed as shown below. Three formulations may be used: (1)Lagrangian, (2) Eulerian, (3) ALE (Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian).

LAGRANGIAN
(1) Lagrangian:
The nodes of the mesh are attached to the imaginary material “points”. These nodes move and deform with the material. This is shown in (1) above.
The Lagrangian elements contains the same material throughout the calculation.

EULERIAN
(2) Eulerian:
Hypothetically consider 2 overlapping meshes, one is a background reference mesh which is fixed in space, and the other is a virtual mesh attached to the material which “flows” through the referencemesh. This may be visualized in 2 steps:
First, the material is deformed in a Lagrangian step just like the Lagrangian formulation.
Then, the element state variables in the virtual “Lagrangianelements” (red) are remapped or advected or transported back onto the fixed (background) reference Eulerian mesh.

ALE
(3) ALE:
Hence Eulerian method is a subset of the ALE method where the reference mesh stays fixed in space.
Subsequently we will refer only to the ALE method for generality.
The main difference between pure Eulerian vs. ALEmethod is different amounts of material being advectedthrough the meshes due to the reference mesh positions.

• One material – one mesh. Lagrangian-like! The overall mesh follows the overall material domain.
• Nodes within the mesh may be rearranged, i.e., smoothed, to avoid badly distorted elements.
• ALE = motion allowed for the overall mesh and the nodes within.

• Relative motion between material and internal, smoothed mesh results in relative flow of material between element boundaries requires extra terms in the conservation equations. These are the ADVECTION (or flow) terms.
• Only one material is allowed in this formulation and mesh smoothing is effective for only moderate deformation. Thus application of this formulation is limited to mostly academic problems.

• Eulerian = Eulerian mesh is fixed in space. • ONE material flows through this fixed mesh. There is no mixing of
materials.• PROBLEM: Only a single material is modeled. There is no fluid
interface for fluid/structure penalty coupling (cannot visualizeleakage). Thus this formulation is, again, limited to mostly academic problems.

MULTI-MATERIAL EULERIAN or ALE (ELFORM=11&12)By introducing ALE in the multi-material formulation, the model can be made smaller and the numerical errors can be kept on a lower level (less material is advected).

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY OF ALE COMPUTATION
Computational cycle:
ALE method uses the Operator Split technique to perform a 2-step computational cycle:
1. First a Lagrangian step is taken
2. Second, the state variables of the deformed material configuration are mapped back onto the reference mesh – this is called an advection step.
Conservation Laws:
Conservations of mass, momentum and energy together with material constitutive equations are used to solve for the state variables.

Material Interactions via*CONSTRAINED_LAGRANGE_IN_SOLID
Fluid-Structure Interactions (FSI) Between ALE (“Fluid”) and Lagrangian (“Structure”) Materials, each modeled with separate meshes:
LS-DYNA searches for the INTERSECTIONS between the Lagrangian parts & ALE parts.
If a coupled Lagrangian surface is detected inside an ALE element, LS-DYNA marks the Lagrangian-Eulerian coupling points (NQUAD) at t-.
It then tracks the independent motion of the 2 materials over dt (ALE material interface is tracked based on its volume fraction in the element).
Then it computes the penetration distance of the ALE material across the Lagrangian surface.
Coupling forces are calculated based on this penetration and re-distributed back onto both materials.

MATERIAL INTERFACES
Multi-Material ALE: Distinctions among PART|MESH|MATERIAL:
In ALE terminology, the user should distinguish between a “*PARTID” and an “ALE-Multi-Material-Group ID” (AMMG ID):
A PART ID refers to a group of elements, i.e., some portion of the mesh which will usually contain one material(1) at time zero. As the ALE materials subsequently move across mesh lines, each element in the PART may contain more than one material, hence the term “multi-material”.
An AMMG refers to a region containing one physical material. For multi-material ALE, the card *ALE_MULTI-MATERIAL_GROUPsets up the ALE material groups. Internally throughout the simulation, the material interface of each AMMG is tracked.
(1) *INITIAL_VOLUME_FRACTION_GEOMETRY can be used to initially fill a PART with multiple materials.

Example :
Consider a model having 3 containers filled with 2 different physical materials (water, fuel oil). The containers are made of the same material, say, steel. Assume that these containers break apart,spilling the fluids. *ALE_MULTI-MATERIAL_GROUP(AMMGID) defines the material grouping for treating multi-material elements & interface tracking.

Then, the interface of each part (11-77) will be tracked. This is, however, expensive due to the additional interface tracking computations, and not necessarily more accurate. As the same physical material, e.g., fuel oil from parts 2 and 3, flow into the same element, they behave realistically as a single material. Thus tracking their interfaces separately may not be necessary.
Sidebar: whenever more than 3 materials are present in 1 element, it may be advisable to refine the mesh.

Airbag Example illustrating automatic ALE mesh translation and expansion via the command *ALE_REFERENCE_SYSTEM
2 ALE meshes:• Inner mesh remains dense
to resolve the flow.• Outer mesh can expand to
envelop the airbag

• Both tool pieces, punch and die, are modeled as Lagrangian rigid shellstructures .
• The workpiece is modeled as solid ALE material which is allowed to deform|flow into surrounding void space.
• The void mesh can overlap with the rigid tool structures.

PID 1 = Air
PID 2 = Water
PID 3 = Steel Plate• The Air and Water are defined as ALE Multi-Materials (tracking the interface of the two material within each element).
• The Steel Plate is defined as Lagrangian.
• The Lagrangian body/mesh can overlap the ALE/fluid meshes.
• The ALE-Multi-Material meshes have merged nodes on their shared boundaries.
PLATE-WATER IMPACT
OVERVIEW:
A Lagrangian plate moves with initial downward velocity through air, then hits water.
