22.1.2. Limitations of the Mesh Superposition Technique

The mesh superposition technique also has several limitations:

  • It can be used only for 2D planar and 3D models.

  • Currently, it can be applied only to generalized Newtonian flow.

  • The detailed variation of the velocity in the neighborhood of the moving part is not well resolved.

  • As the physical boundaries do not match finite-element limits, the mass conservation equation cannot be satisfied in every element; as a result, you may see some limited fluid leakage.
