A direct-forcing embedded-boundary method with adaptive mesh refinement for fluid–structure interaction problems

In the present work we developed a structured adaptive mesh refinement (S-AMR) strategy for fluid–structure interaction problems in laminar and turbulent incompressible flows. The computational grid consists of a number of nested grid blocks at different refinement levels. The coarsest grid blocks always cover the entire computational domain, and local refinement is achieved by the bisection of selected blocks in every coordinate direction. The grid topology and data-structure is managed using the Paramesh toolkit. The filtered Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible flow are advanced in time using an explicit second-order projection scheme, where all spatial derivatives are approximated using second-order central differences on a staggered grid. For transitional and turbulent flow regimes the large-eddy simulation (LES) approach is used, where special attention is paid on the discontinuities introduced by the local refinement. For all the fluid–structure interaction problems reported in this study the complete set of equations governing the dynamics of the flow and the structure are simultaneously advanced in time using a predictor–corrector strategy. An embedded-boundary method is utilized to enforce the boundary conditions on a complex moving body which is not aligned with the grid lines. Several examples of increasing complexity are given to demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the proposed formulation.

Compact local integrated-RBF approximations for second-order elliptic differential problems

This paper presents a new compact approximation method for the discretisation of second-order elliptic equations in one and two dimensions. The problem domain, which can be rectangular or non-rectangular, is represented by a Cartesian grid. On stencils, which are three nodal points for one-dimensional problems and nine nodal points for two-dimensional problems, the approximations for the field variable and its derivatives are constructed using integrated radial basis functions (IRBFs). Several pieces of information about the governing differential equation on the stencil are incorporated into the IRBF approximations by means of the constants of integration. Numerical examples indicate that the proposed technique yields a very high rate of convergence with grid refinement.

Mesh refinement algorithms in an unstructured solver for multiphase flow simulation using discrete particles

This study developed spray-adaptive mesh refinement algorithms with directional sensitivity in an unstructured solver to improve spray simulation for internal combustion engine application. Inadequate spatial resolution is often found to cause inaccuracies in spray simulation using the Lagrangian–Eulerian approach due to the over-estimated diffusion and inappropriate liquid–gas phase coupling. Dynamic mesh refinement algorithms adaptive to fuel sprays and vapor gradients were developed in order to increase the grid resolution in the spray region to improve simulation accuracy. The local refinement introduced the coarse-fine face interface that requires advanced numerical schemes for flux calculation and grid rezoning with moving boundaries. To resolve the issue in flux calculation, this work implemented the refinement/coarsening algorithms into a collocated solver to avoid tedious interpolations in solving the momentum equations. A pressure correction method was applied to address unphysical pressure oscillations due to the collocation of pressure and velocity. An edge-based algorithm was used to evaluate the edge-centered quantities in order to account for the contributions from all the cells around an edge at the coarse-fine interface. A quasi-second-order upwind scheme with strong monotonicity was also modified to accommodate the coarse-fine interface for convective fluxes. To resolve the issue related to grid rezoning, rezoning was applied to the initial baseline mesh only and the new locations of the refined grids were obtained by interpolating the updated baseline mesh. The time step constraints were also re-evaluated to account for the change resulting from mesh refinement. The present refinement algorithm was used in simulating fuel sprays in an engine combustion chamber. It was found that the present approach could produce the same level of results as those using the uniformly fine mesh with substantially reduced computer time. Results also showed that this approach could alleviate the artifacts related to the Lagrangian discrete modeling of spray drops due to insufficient spatial resolution.     

A fast direct solver for elliptic problems on general meshes in 2D

We present a fast direct algorithm for solutions to linear systems arising from 2D elliptic equations. We follow the approach in Xia et al. (2009) on combining the multifrontal method with hierarchical matrices. We present a variant of that approach with additional hierarchical structure, extend it to quasi-uniform meshes, and detail an adaptive decomposition procedure for general meshes. Linear time complexity is shown for a quasi-regular grid and demonstrated via numerical results for the adaptive algorithm.     

Unified phase-field model for epitaxial growth of multi-scale three-dimensional islands on insulating surfaces

In this paper we present a unified phase-field model for non-equilibrium growths of various three-dimensional metal islands on insulating surfaces. We introduce a phase-field variable to distinguish the island from the non-island regions and substrate and a density variable to describe local density of deposited adatoms. Two partial differential equations with appropriate boundary conditions, as the governing equations, are used to describe the evolution of the three-dimensional metal islands and the diffusion of adatoms. We solve the equations by using an adaptive mesh refinement method so that we can simulate the non-equilibrium growth of three-dimensional metal islands from tens of nanometers to several micrometers. We investigate the dependence of simulated results on the model parameters and experimental conditions. Equilibrium shape of such islands can be obtained through sufficient post-deposition relaxation. Experimental trends of island size and shape on various scales are obtained with reasonable parameters. This method should be a good approach to non-equilibrium growths of multi-scale three-dimensional metal islands.
