What Does ALE Stand For?
ALE stands for Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian
ALE, or Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian, is a numerical method used in computational fluid dynamics and other areas of applied mathematics. It combines the advantages of both Lagrangian and Eulerian frameworks, allowing for the flexible handling of moving boundaries and interfaces in flows. The ALE approach enables the accurate simulation of complex fluid behavior in dynamic geometries, making it particularly useful for problems involving fluid-structure interactions, free surface flows, and adaptive mesh refinement. By adapting the computational mesh in a manner that optimally conforms to fluid movement, ALE enhances both the precision and efficiency of simulations.
