A CLASS OF ALTERNATING GROUP METHODOF BURGERS＇ EQUATION

Some new Saul‘ yev type asymmetric difference schemes for Burgers’ equation isgiven, by the use of the schemes, a kind of alternating group four points method for solvingnonlinear Burgers‘ equation is constructed here. The basic idea of the method is that thegrid points on the same time level is divided into a number of groups, the differenceequations of each group can be solved independently, hence the method with intrinsicparallelism can be used directly on parallel computer. The method is unconditionally stableby analysis of linearization procedure. The numerical experiments show that the method has good stability and accuracy.     

Comments on <Emphasis Type="Italic">Three-point explicit compact difference scheme with arbitrary order of accuracy and its application in CFD</Emphasis>

The explicit compact difference scheme, proposed in Three-point explicit compact difference scheme with arbitrary order of accuracy and its application in CFD by Lin et al., published in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics （English Edition）, 2007, 28（7）, 943-953, has the same performance as the conventional finite difference schemes. It is just another expression of the conventional finite difference schemes. The proposed expression does not have the advantages of a compact difference scheme. Nonetheless, we can more easily obtain and implement compared with the conventional expression in which the coefficients can only be obtained by solving equations, especially for higher accurate schemes.

An arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method for non‐breaking free surface flow problems is presented. The characteristic‐based split (CBS) scheme has been employed to solve the ALE equations. A simple mesh smoothing procedure based on coordinate averaging (Laplacian smoothing) is employed in the calculations. The mesh velocity is calculated at each time step and incorporated as part of the scheme. Results presented show an excellent agreement with the available experimental data.

The multi‐stage centred‐scheme approach applied to a drift‐flux two‐phase flow model

For two‐phase flow models, upwind schemes are most often difficult do derive, and expensive to use. Centred schemes, on the other hand, are simple, but more dissipative. The recently proposed multi‐stage (MUSTA ) method is aimed at coming close to the accuracy of upwind schemes while retaining the simplicity of centred schemes. So far, the MUSTA approach has been shown to work well for the Euler equations of inviscid, compressible single‐phase flow. In this work, we explore the MUSTA scheme for a more complex system of equations: the drift‐flux model, which describes one‐dimensional two‐phase flow where the motions of the phases are strongly coupled. As the number of stages is increased, the results of the MUSTA scheme approach those of the Roe method. The good results of the MUSTA scheme are dependent on the use of a large‐enough local grid. Hence, the main benefit of the MUSTA scheme is its simplicity, rather than CPU ‐time savings. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Reduced augmented Lagrangian bi-conjugate gradient method for impact-contact problems

To avoid the numerical oscillation of the penalty method and non-compatibility with explicit operators of conventional Lagrange multiplier methods used in transient contact problems to enforce surface contact conditions, a new approach to enforcing surface contact constraints for the transient nonlinear finite element problems, referred to as “the reduced augmented Lagrangian bi-conjugate gradient method (ALCG)”, is developed in this paper. Based on the nonlinear constrained optimization theory and is compatible with the explicit time integration scheme, this approach can also be used in implicit scheme naturally. The new surface contact constraint method presented has significant advantages over the widely adopted penalty function methods and the conventional Lagrangian multiplier methods. The surface contact constraints are satisfied more accurately for each step by the algorithm, so the oscillation of numerical solution for the explicit scheme is depressed. Through the development of new iteration strategy for solving nonlinear equations, ALCG method improves the computational efficiency greatly.

加权型紧致格式与加权本质无波动格式的比较

线性紧致格式和加权本质无波动格式是两种典型的高阶精度数值格式,它们各有优缺点.线性紧致格式在具有高阶精度的同时,格式的分辨率也比较高,耗散低,是计算多尺度流场结构的较好格式,但是不能计算具有强激波的流场.加权本质无波动格式是一种高阶精度捕捉激波格式,鲁棒性好,但耗散比较高,分辨率也不理想.近年来,在莱勒的线性紧致格式基础上,采用加权本质无波动格式捕捉激波思想,发展了一系列加权型紧致格式.本文较全面地比较了加权型紧致格式和加权本质无波动格式,包括构造方法、鲁棒性、分辨率、耗散特性、收敛特性以及并行计算效率.结果表明,现有的加权型紧致格式基本保持了加权本质无波动格式的性质,对于气动力等宏观量的计算,比加权本质无波动格式没有明显的优势.      

FINITE DIFFERENCE SIMULATION OF A STRATIFIED TWO-PHASE SYSTEM

SUMMARY

We have analyzed several different approaches for simulating the fluid motion of a stratified two-phase system. The flow regime is transformed to a regular domain for numerical integration and the standard finite difference formulas are applied to discretize the governing and mapping equations. Five different interface iteration schemes that are based on the kinematic condition and the normal stress balance have been derived to update the position of the liquid-liquid interface. We have found that the iterative scheme based on the normal stress balance is more stable and is applicable to a wide range of capillary numbers, and that these appear to be the only sensitive parameter in the stratified two-phase system under consideration.     

无粘可压缩流动的改进高精度方法

为更准确捕捉复杂流场的流动细节,通过对WENO格式的光滑因子进行改进,发展了一种新的五阶WENO格式。对三阶ENO格式进行加权可以得到五阶WENO格式,但是不同的加权处理,WENO格式在极值处保持加权基本无振荡的效果不同,本文构造了二阶精度的局部光滑因子,及不含一阶二阶导数的高阶全局光滑因子,从而实现WENO格式在极值处有五阶精度。基于改进五阶WENO格式,对一维对流方程、一维和二维可压缩无粘问题进行算例验证,并与传统WENO-JS格式和WENO-Z格式进行比较。计算结果表明,改进五阶WENO格式有较高的精度和收敛速度,有较低的数值耗散,能有效捕捉间断、激波和涡等复杂流动。

The composite finite volume method on unstructured meshes for the two‐dimensional shallow water equations

A composite finite volume method (FVM) is developed on unstructured triangular meshes and tested for the two‐dimensional free‐surface flow equations. The methodology is based on the theory of the remainder effect of finite difference schemes and the property that the numerical dissipation and dispersion of the schemes are compensated by each other in a composite scheme. The composite FVM is formed by global composition of several Lax–Wendroff‐type steps followed by a diffusive Lax–Friedrich‐type step, which filters out the oscillations around shocks typical for the Lax–Wendroff scheme. To test the efficiency and reliability of the present method, five typical problems of discontinuous solutions of two‐dimensional shallow water are solved. The numerical results show that the proposed method, which needs no use of a limiter function, is easy to implement, is accurate, robust and is highly stable.

Effect of spatial discretization schemes on numerical solutions of viscoelastic fluid flows

This study examines the effect of discretization schemes for the convection term in the constitutive equation on numerical solutions of viscoelastic fluid flows. For this purpose, a temporally evolving mixing layer, a two-dimensional vortex pair interacting with a wall, and a fully developed turbulent channel flow are selected as test cases, and eight different discretization schemes are considered. Among them, the first-order upwind difference scheme (UD) and artificial diffusion scheme (AD), which are commonly used in the literature, show most stable and smooth solutions even for highly extensional flows. However, the stress fields are smeared too much by these schemes and the corresponding flow fields are quite different from those obtained by higher-order upwind difference schemes. Among higher-order upwind difference schemes investigated in this study, a third-order compact upwind difference scheme (CUD3) with locally added AD shows stable and most accurate solutions for highly extensional flows even at relatively high Weissenberg numbers.     

A space-time lower–upper symmetric Gauss–Seidel scheme for the time-spectral method

The time-spectral method (TSM) offers the advantage of increased order of accuracy compared to methods using finite-difference in time for periodic unsteady flow problems. Explicit Runge–Kutta pseudo-time marching and implicit schemes have been developed to solve iteratively the space-time coupled nonlinear equations resulting from TSM. Convergence of the explicit schemes is slow because of the stringent time-step limit. Many implicit methods have been developed for TSM. Their computational efficiency is, however, still limited in practice because of delayed implicit temporal coupling, multiple iterative loops, costly matrix operations, or lack of strong diagonal dominance of the implicit operator matrix. To overcome these shortcomings, an efficient space-time lower–upper symmetric Gauss–Seidel (ST-LU-SGS) implicit scheme with multigrid acceleration is presented. In this scheme, the implicit temporal coupling term is split as one additional dimension of space in the LU-SGS sweeps. To improve numerical stability for periodic flows with high frequency, a modification to the ST-LU-SGS scheme is proposed. Numerical results show that fast convergence is achieved using large or even infinite Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy (CFL) numbers for unsteady flow problems with moderately high frequency and with the use of moderately high numbers of time intervals. The ST-LU-SGS implicit scheme is also found to work well in calculating periodic flow problems where the frequency is not known a priori and needed to be determined by using a combined Fourier analysis and gradient-based search algorithm.     

On numerical techniques in CFD

Numerical techniques play an important role in CFD. Some of them are reviewed in this paper. The necessity of using high order difference scheme is demonstrated for the study of high Reynolds number viscous flow. Physical guide lines are provided for the construction of these high order schemes. To avoid unduly ad hoc tremtment in the boundary region the use of compact scheme is recommended because it has a small stencil size compared with the traditional finite difference scheme. Besides preliminary Fourier analysis shows the compact scheme can also yield better space resolution which makes it more suitable to study flow with multiscales e.g. turbulence. Other approaches such as perturbation method and finite spectral method are also emphasized. Typical numerical simulations were carried out. The first deals with Euler equations to show its capabilities to capture flow discontinuity. The second deals with Navier-Stokes equations studying the evolution of a mixing layer, the pertinent structures at different times are shown. Asymmetric break down occurs and also the appearance of small vortices.

Difference scheme for two-phase flow

A numerical method for two-phase flow with hydrodynamics behavior was considered. The nonconservative hyperbolic governing equations proposed by Saurel and Gallout were adopted. Dissipative effects were neglected but they could be included in the model without major difficulties. Based on the opinion proposed by Abgrall that “a two phase system, uniform in velocity and pressure at t = 0 will be uniform on the same variable during its temporal evolution“, a simple accurate and fully Eulerian numerical method was presented for the simulation of multiphase compressible flows in hydrodynamic regime. The numerical method relies on Godunov-typescheme, with HLLC and Lax-Friedrichs type approximate Riemann solvers for the resolution of conservation equations, and nonconservative equation. Speed relaxation and pressure relaxation processes were introduced to account for the interaction between the phases. Test problem was presented in one space dimension which illustrated that our scheme is accurate, stable and oscillation free.     

Developing a physical influence upwind scheme for pressure-based cell-centered finite volume methods

In the framework of a cell-centered finite volume method (FVM), the advection scheme plays the most important role in developing FVMs to solve complicated fluid flow problems for a wide range of Reynolds numbers. Advection schemes have been widely developed for FVMs employing pressure-velocity coupling methodology in the incompressible flow limit. In this regard, the physical influence upwind scheme (PIS) is developed for a cell-centered finite volume coupled solver (FVCS) using a pressure-weighted interpolation method for linking the pressure and velocity fields. The well-known exponential differencing scheme and skew upwind differencing scheme are also deployed in the current FVCS and their numerical results are presented. The accuracy and convergence of the present PIS are evaluated solving flow in a lid-driven square cavity, a lid-driven skewed cavity, and over a backward-facing step (BFS). The flow within the lid-driven square cavity is numerically solved at Reynolds numbers from 400 to 10 000 on a relatively coarse mesh with respect to other reported solutions. The lid-driven skewed cavity test case at Reynolds number of 1000 demonstrates the numerical performance of the present PIS on nonorthogonal grids. The flow over a BFS at Reynolds number of 800 is numerically solved to examine capabilities of current FVCS employing the current PIS in inlet-outlet flow computations. The numerical results obtained by the current PIS are in excellent agreement with those of benchmark solutions of corresponding test cases. Incorporating implicit role of pressure terms in a pressure-weighted interpolation method and development of PIS provides satisfactory solution convergence alongside the numerical accuracy for the current FVCS. A particular numerical verification is performed for the V velocity calculation within the BFS flow field, which confirms the reliability of present PIS.     

A novel weighting switch function for uniformly high‐order hybrid shock‐capturing schemes

Hybrid schemes are very efficient for complex compressible flow simulation. However, for most existing hybrid schemes in literature, empirical problem‐dependent parameters are always needed to detect shock waves and hence greatly decrease the robustness and accuracy of the hybrid scheme. In this paper, based on the nonlinear weights of the weighted essentially non‐oscillatory (WENO) scheme, a novel weighting switch function is proposed. This function approaches 1 with high‐order accuracy in smooth regions and 0 near discontinuities. Then, with the new weighting switch function, a seventh‐order hybrid compact‐reconstruction WENO scheme (HCCS) is developed. The new hybrid scheme uses the same stencil as the fifth‐order WENO scheme, and it has seventh‐order accuracy in smooth regions even at critical points. Numerical tests are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of both the switch function and HCCS. Comparisons also reveal that HCCS has lower dissipation and less computational cost than the seventh‐order WENO scheme. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A PSEUDOSPECTRAL σ -TRANSFORMATION MODEL OF 2-D NONLINEAR WAVES

A pseudospectral matrix-element method is proposed for the analysis of 2-D nonlinear time-domain free-surface flow problems. The Chebyshev expansion technique established by Ku & Hatziavramidis has been used to discretize the σ-transformed governing equations including nonlinear boundary conditions. Simulations of non overturning transient waves in fixed and base-excited tanks are presented. The results are compared with first-and second-order analytical solutions for sloshing and standing waves, respectively. Excellent agreement is achieved at low values of wave steepness, with the high accuracy due to the close coupling between points. As the wave steepness increases, the influence of higher-order nonlinear components becomes significant, and is modelled by the present scheme. The solution is extremely stable, with the σ-transformation exactly fitting the free-surface boundary, unlike other schemes which have to use free-surface smoothing.
