Abstract: We present a reconection-based Lagrangian+rezone(LR) method,in which connectivity of meshes can be changed in a rezone phase in order to handle geometric intersection.The method maintains more Lagrangian features of meshes than standard LR methods.Numerical examples demonstrate that the method is more robust for large defomations.It shows predictive capabilities of reconnection-based LR method.

Key words: mesh reconnection, local remeshing, Lagrangian methods
