Explicit inverse distance weighting mesh motion for coupled problems

An explicit mesh motion algorithm based on inverse distance weighting interpolation is presented. The explicit formulation leads to a fast mesh motion algorithm and an easy implementation. In addition, the proposed point-by-point method is robust and flexible in case of large deformations, hanging nodes, and parallelization. Mesh quality results and CPU time comparisons are presented for triangular and hexahedral unstructured meshes in an airfoil flutter fluid-structure interaction problem
