Finite element analysis of flow and heat transfer with moving free surface using fixed grid system

A numerical study was performed on flow and heat transfer involving moving free surfaces that occurs in mold filling processes such as casting and injection molding. In these problems, the calculation domain changes continuously and the numerical treatment of the moving interface tends to cause artificial diffusion. Among the solution algorithms based on the Eulerian method, the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method was used because the method is simple and efficient in handling the complex flow patterns inside the cavity. To solve the transport equation of free surface without artificial smearing of the interface the baby-cell method was employed in the geometric reconstruction of the free surface. Furthermore, a predictor–corrector method was adopted in the time integration of volume-of-fluid (VOF) transport equation to increase the accuracy. The proposed scheme was verified through several benchmark problems. In order to show the capability of the proposed method, several three-dimensional mold filling processes were solved. The current algorithm was applied to the floating body problem. Three-dimensional floating body problems were tested.     

流固耦合不可压物质点法及其在晃动问题中的应用

作为一种混合拉格朗日欧拉法,物质点法在流固耦合问题中具有重要的应用前景。对于自由液面的流动问题,基于物质点法框架已建立了弱可压物质点法和完全不可压物质点法,但在处理流固耦合问题时遇到了困难。弱可压物质点法由于采用可压缩状态方程,导致求解时间步长过小,压力振荡严重,产生了非物理的飞溅现象;完全不可压物质点法基于投影算法和不可压条件,消除了弱可压物质点法的压力振荡,提高了时间步长,但难以处理移动边界问题。基于变分形式的投影算法提出了一种新型流固耦合不可压物质点法,得到了体积加权的压力泊松方程PPE(Pressure Poisson Equation),解决了完全不可压物质点法无法处理不规则边界和移动边界的问题。采用流固耦合不可压物质点法研究了运动刚体容器中的液体晃动问题,并与已有实验和数值结果进行对比,验证了算法的正确性和精度。

Numerical modeling of flow past a volumeless and thin rigid body using direct forcing immersed boundary method

The new capability has been added as the numerical method for modeling volumeless and thin rigid bodies to the direct forcing immersed boundary (DFIB) method. The DFIB approach is based on adding a virtual force to the Navier–Stokes equations of incompressible flow to account for the interaction between the fluid and structures. The volume of a solid function (VOS) identifies the stationary or moving solid structures in a given fluid domain. A new VOS-based algorithm was developed to identify thin, rigid structure boundary points in fluid flow and ensure that the fluid cannot cross through the boundary of a thin rigid structure while moving or stationary. The DFIB method was first validated in a three-dimensional (3D) turbulent flow over a circular cylinder. The large-eddy simulation simulated the turbulent flow scales. The proposed algorithm was tested using a 3D turbulent flow past a stationary and rotating Savonius wind turbine that functions as a thin, rigid body. The validation results showed that the selected DFIB approach, combined with the novel algorithm, could simulate a thin, volumeless, rigid structure that is stationary and rotating in incompressible turbulent flows. The current method is also applicable for two-way fluid-structure interaction problems.

Immersed finite element method for fluid-structure interactions

In this paper, we present a detailed derivation of the numerical method, Immersed Finite Element Method (IFEM), for the solution of fluid-structure interaction problems. This method is developed based on the Immersed Boundary (IB) method that was initiated by Peskin, with additional capabilities in handling nonuniform and independent meshes and applying arbitrary boundary conditions on both fluid and solid domains. A higher order interpolation function is adopted from one of the mesh-free methods, the Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM), which relieves the uniformity constraint of fluid meshes. Two 2-D example problems are presented to illustrate the capabilities of the algorithm. The accuracy in the numerical analysis demonstrates that the IFEM algorithm is a reliable and robust numerical approach to solve fluid and deformable solid interactions.

An analytical interface reconstruction algorithm in the PLIC‐VOF method for 2D polygonal unstructured meshes

Piecewise linear interface calculation (PLIC) schemes have been extensively employed in the volume‐of‐fluid (VOF) method for interface capturing in numerical simulations of multiphase flows. Polygonal unstructured meshes are often adopted because of their geometric flexibility and superiority in gradient calculation. An analytical interface reconstruction algorithm in the PLIC‐VOF method for arbitrary convex polygonal cells has been proposed in this study. The line interface at a given orientation within a polygonal cell is located by an analytical technique. It has been tested successfully for four different geometric shapes that are common in polygonal meshes. The computational efficiency of the present algorithm has been compared with several published schemes in the literature. The proposed algorithm has been shown to yield higher accuracy with reduction in computational complexity. A numerical simulation of a dam‐breaking problem has been performed using the proposed analytical PLIC technique on polygonal meshes. The results are in good agreement with experimental data available in the literature, which serves as a demonstration of its performance in a real multiphase flow.     

Simulation of flow‐flexible body interactions with large deformation

A modified front‐tracking method was proposed for the simulation of fluid‐flexible body interactions with large deformations. A large deformable body was modeled by restructuring the body using a grid adaptation. Discontinuities in the viscosity at the fluid‐structure interface were incorporated by distributing the viscosity across the interface using an indicator function. A viscosity gradient field was created near the interface, and a smooth transition occurred between the structure and the fluid. The fluid motion was defined on the Eulerian domain and was solved using the fractional step method on a staggered Cartesian grid system. The solid motion was described by Lagrangian variables and was solved by the finite element method on an unstructured triangular mesh. The fluid motion and the structure motion were independently solved, and their interaction force was calculated using a feedback law. The interaction force was the restoring force of a stiff spring with damping, and spread from the Lagrangian coordinates to the Eulerian grid by a smoothed approximation of the Dirac delta function. In the numerical simulations, we validated the effect of the grid adaptation on the solid solver using a vibrating circular ring. The effects of the viscosity gradient field were verified by solving the deformation of a circular disk in a linear shear flow, including an elastic ring moving through a channel with constriction, deformation of a suspended catenary, and a swimming jellyfish. A comparison of the numerical results with the theoretical solutions was presented. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
