Abstract: This work presents a novel interpolation-free mesh adaptation technique for the Euler equations within the arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian framework. For the spatial discretization, we consider a residual distribution scheme, which provides a pretty simple way to achieve high order accuracy on unstructured grids. Thanks to a special interpretation of the mesh connectivity changes as a series of fictitious continuous deformations, we can enforce by construction the so-called geometric conservation law, which helps to avoid spurious oscillations while solving the governing equations over dynamic domains. This strategy preserves the numerical properties of the underlying, fixed-connectivity scheme, such as conservativeness and stability, as it avoids an explicit interpolation of the solution between different grids. The proposed approach is validated through the two-dimensional simulations of steady and unsteady flow problems over unstructured grids.
