Abstract
Coupling of physics solutions (e.g., a first physics solution and a second physics solution) in a multi-physics simulation that includes non-conformal spaces can use extrapolation to determine data values for unmapped nodes by computing extrapolated values based on both mapped values from mapped nodes and data for unmapped nodes. The extrapolated values for an unmapped node are computed using a set of equations that include mapped values from nearby mapped nodes and data for nearby unmapped nodes. The methods and systems can provide improved computational efficiency by reducing the amount of memory required for the computations.
