The evaluation of the lift L and the moment M at time t D t n C 1 from the
approximate solution U h D .v h ;p h / can be carried out in two ways.
Stress Tensor Extrapolation
One possibility is to compute the components ij of the stress tensor at time t D
t n C 1 on the elements K 2 T h adjacent to the boundary
Q Wt , extrapolate ij to
Q Wt ,
see Fig. 5.6 , and then to compute L and M by the integration along Q Wt .
This approach can be improved by using the idea of superconvergence of gradient
in the center of triangles, cf. [ 14 , 110 ]. It means that for any vertex A 2 Q Wt the value
of the stress tensor ij can be reconstructed using least squares approximation from
the patches of neighboring elements. See Fig. 5.7 .
Weak Formulation of Lift Force
In this paragraph Q Wt represents again the interface between the structure and the
domain t . The Navier-Stokes equations in the ALE form discretized with respect
to time at instant t WD t n C 1 can be expressed component-wise as
