Chebyshev finite spectral method with extended moving grids

A Chebyshev finite spectral method on non-uniform meshes is proposed. An equidistribution scheme for two types of extended moving grids is used to generate grids. One type is designed to provide better resolution for the wave surface, and the other type is for highly variable gradients. The method has high-order accuracy because of the use of the Chebyshev polynomial as the basis function. The polynomial is used to interpolate the values between the two non-uniform meshes from a previous time step to the current time step. To attain high accuracy in the time discretization, the fourth-order Adams-Bashforth-Moulton predictor and corrector scheme is used. To avoid numerical oscillations caused by the dispersion term in the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, a numerical technique on non-uniform meshes is introduced. The proposed numerical scheme is validated by the applications to the Burgers equation (nonlinear convectiondiffusion problems) and the KdV equation (single solitary and 2-solitary wave problems), where analytical solutions are available for comparisons. Numerical results agree very well with the corresponding analytical solutions in all cases.

A numerical method for KdV equation using collocation and radial basis functions

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the study of initial boundary value problems for Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equations. In this paper, we propose a numerical scheme to solve the third-order nonlinear KdV equation using collocation points and approximating the solution using multiquadric (MQ) radial basis function (RBF). The scheme works in a similar fashion as finite-difference methods. Numerical examples are given to confirm the good accuracy of the presented scheme.     

A mass‐conservative staggered immersed boundary model for solving the shallow water equations on complex geometries

In this work, an approach is proposed for solving the 3D shallow water equations with embedded boundaries that are not aligned with the underlying horizontal Cartesian grid. A hybrid cut‐cell/ghost‐cell method is used together with a direction‐splitting implicit solver: Ghost cells are used for the momentum equations in order to prescribe the correct boundary condition at the immersed boundary, while cut cells are used in the continuity equation in order to conserve mass. The resulting scheme is robust, does not suffer any time step limitation for small cut cells, and conserves fluid mass up to machine precision. Moreover, the solver displays a second‐order spatial accuracy, both globally and locally. Comparisons with analytical solutions and reference numerical solutions on curvilinear grids confirm the quality of the method. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Efficient meshless SPH method for the numerical modeling of thick shell structures undergoing large deformations

The objective of this paper is to present an extension of the Lagrangian Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method to solve three-dimensional shell-like structures undergoing large deformations. The present method is an enhancement of the classical stabilized SPH commonly used for 3D continua, by introducing a Reissner–Mindlin shell formulation, allowing the modeling of moderately thin structure using only one layer of particles in the shell mid-surface. The proposed Shell-based SPH method is efficient and very fast compared to the classical continuum SPH method. The Total Lagrangian Formulation valid for large deformations is adopted using a strong formulation of the differential equilibrium equations based on the principle of collocation. The resulting non-linear dynamic problem is solved incrementally using the explicit time integration scheme, suited to highly dynamic applications. To validate the reliability and accuracy of the proposed Shell-based SPH method in solving shell-like structure problems, several numerical applications including geometrically non-linear behavior are performed and the results are compared with analytical solutions when available and also with numerical reference solutions available in the literature or obtained using the Finite Element method by means of ABAQUS^© commercial software.     

DTM-BF method and dual solutions for unsteady MHD flow over permeable shrinking sheet with velocity slip

An unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow over a shrinking permeable sheet embedded in a moving viscous electrically conducting fluid is investigated both analytically and numerically. The velocity slip at the solid surface is taken into account in the boundary conditions. A novel analytical method named DTMBF is proposed and used to get the approximate analytical solutions to the nonlinear governing equation along with the boundary conditions at infinity. All analytical results are compared with those obtained by a numerical method. The comparison shows good agreement, which validates the accuracy of the DTM-BF method. Moreover, the existence ranges of the dual solutions and the unique solution for various parameters are obtained. The effects of the velocity slip parameter, the unsteadiness parameter, the magnetic parameter, the suction/injection parameter, and the velocity ratio parameter on the skin friction, the unique velocity, and the dual velocity profiles are explored, respectively.     

Monte Carlo simulation of the heat flow in a dense hard sphere gas

The one-dimensional steady heat flow in a dense hard sphere gas is studied solving the Enskog equation numerically by a recently proposed DSMC-like particle scheme. The accuracy of the solutions is assessed through a comparison with solutions obtained from a semi-regular method which combines finite difference discretization with Monte Carlo quadrature techniques. It is shown that excellent agreement is found between the two numerical methods. The solutions obtained from the Enskog equation have also been found in good agreement with the results of molecular dynamics simulations.

Time‐accurate stabilized finite‐element model for weakly nonlinear and weakly dispersive water waves

Introduction of a time‐accurate stabilized finite‐element approximation for the numerical investigation of weakly nonlinear and weakly dispersive water waves is presented in this paper. To make the time approximation match the order of accuracy of the spatial representation of the linear triangular elements by the Galerkin finite‐element method, the fourth‐order time integration of implicit multistage Padé method is used for the development of the numerical scheme. The streamline‐upwind Petrov–Galerkin (SUPG) method with crosswind diffusion is employed to stabilize the scheme and suppress the spurious oscillations, usually common in the numerical computation of convection‐dominated flow problems. The performance of numerical stabilization and accuracy is addressed. Treatments of various boundary conditions, including the open boundary conditions, the perfect reflecting boundary conditions along boundaries with irregular geometry, are also described. Numerical results showing the comparisons with analytical solutions, experimental measurements, and other published numerical results are presented and discussed.

Numerical Modeling of Straining: The Role of Particle and Pore Size Distributions

Understanding deep bed filtration (DBF) is essential for technologies like wastewater treatment, waterflooding in oil reservoirs and membrane filtration. Due to its scientific and industrial importance, DBF has been widely studied and various retention mechanisms (adsorption, bridging, deposition, straining, etc.) have been identified. If straining is operative, pore and particle size distributions play an important role on DBF process. Based on the KT finite volume method, numerical solutions for a population balance model are proposed in this paper. General analytical solutions for this model, which consists of particle population balance as well as straining and pore blocking kinetics, are not available in the literature. Good agreement between analytical and numerical solutions allowed to validate and verify the efficiency of the proposed numerical scheme. The numerical solutions correctly predicted shocks in the suspended particle concentration profiles, presenting good accuracy and small numerical diffusion. The simulations showed that particle transport and retention are strongly influenced by pore blocking. In addition, the larger the particle size, the larger its front velocity and the more intensive is straining.     

A high order spectral volume solution to the Burgers' equation using the Hopf–Cole transformation

A limiter free high order spectral volume (SV) formulation is proposed in this paper to solve the Burgers' equation. This approach uses the Hopf–Cole transformation, which maps the Burgers' equation to a linear diffusion equation. This diffusion equation is solved in an SV setting. The local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) and the LDG2 viscous flux discretization methods were employed. An inverse transformation was used to obtain the numerical solution to the Burgers' equation. This procedure has two advantages: (i) the shock can be captured, without the use of a limiter; and (ii) the effects of SV partitioning becomes almost redundant as the transformed equation is not hyperbolic. Numerical studies were performed to verify. These studies also demonstrated (i) high order accuracy of the scheme even for very low viscosity; (ii) superiority of the LDG2 scheme, when compared with the LDG scheme. In general, the numerical results are very promising and indicate that this procedure can be applied for obtaining high order numerical solutions to other nonlinear partial differential equations (for instance, the Korteweg–de Vries equations) which generate discontinuous solutions.

A hybrid vertex-centered finite volume/element method for viscous incompressible flows on non-staggered unstructured meshes

This paper proposes a hybrid vertex-centered finite volume/finite element method for solution of the two dimensional (2D) incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on unstructured grids.An incremental pressure fractional step method is adopted to handle the velocity-pressure coupling.The velocity and the pressure are collocated at the node of the vertex-centered control volume which is formed by joining the centroid of cells sharing the common vertex.For the temporal integration of the momentum equations,an implicit second-order scheme is utilized to enhance the computational stability and eliminate the time step limit due to the diffusion term.The momentum equations are discretized by the vertex-centered finite volume method (FVM) and the pressure Poisson equation is solved by the Galerkin finite element method (FEM).The momentum interpolation is used to damp out the spurious pressure wiggles.The test case with analytical solutions demonstrates second-order accuracy of the current hybrid scheme in time and space for both velocity and pressure.The classic test cases,the lid-driven cavity flow,the skew cavity flow and the backward-facing step flow,show that numerical results are in good agreement with the published benchmark solutions.     

Reduced finite difference scheme and error estimates based on POD method for non-stationary Stokes equation

The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is a model reduction technique for the simulation of physical processes governed by partial differential equations (e.g.,fluid flows). It has been successfully used in the reduced-order modeling of complex systems. In this paper, the applications of the POD method are extended, i.e., the POD method is applied to a classical finite difference (FD) scheme for the non-stationary Stokes equation with a real practical applied background. A reduced FD scheme is established with lower dimensions and sufficiently high accuracy, and the error estimates are provided between the reduced and the classical FD solutions. Some numerical examples illustrate that the numerical results are consistent with theoretical conclusions. Moreover, it is shown that the reduced FD scheme based on the POD method is feasible and efficient in solving the FD scheme for the non-stationary Stokes equation.
