The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Fast dynamic grid deformation based on Delaunay graph mapping (2006, methodology): “A detailed analysis of the spring analogy is presented by Blom [9], demonstrating that the torsional spring is imperative to retain validity of a moving Navier–Stokes mesh.”
Unified fluid–structure interpolation and mesh motion using radial basis functions (2008, background): “This was improved by Farhat et al. [36] to include a torsional spring to avoid the grid crossover problem, and in Blom [37] this torsional spring is shown to be essential for moving viscous meshes.”
Aircraft control surface deflection using RBF‐based mesh deformation (2011, background): “modelling the edges as springs or as solid body elasticity (see [13, 21, 22] and [23, 24], respectively), interpolatory techniques rely only on point coordinates, which makes them less memory intensive.”
