Abstract

A three-dimensional direct problem of ultrasonic nondestructive testing of a railroad rail treated as a linear elastic medium is solved by applying a grid-characteristic method on curved structured Chimera and Cartesian background meshes. The algorithm involves mutual interpolation between Chimera and Cartesian meshes that takes into account the features of the transition from curved to Cartesian meshes in three-dimensional space. An analytical algorithm for generating Chimera meshes is proposed. The convergence of the developed numerical algorithms under mesh refinement in space is analyzed. A comparative analysis of the full-wave fields of the velocity modulus representing the propagation of a perturbation from its source is presented.
