A Hybrid Domain Decomposition and Multigrid Method for the Acceleration of Compressible Viscous Flow Calculations on Unstructured Triangular Meshes

This paper is concerned with the formulation and the evaluation of a hybrid solution method that makes use of domain decomposition and multigrid principles for the calculation of two-dimensional compressible viscous flows on unstructured triangular meshes. More precisely, a non-overlapping additive domain decomposition method is used to coordinate concurrent subdomain solutions with a multigrid method. This hybrid method is developed in the context of a flow solver for the Navier-Stokes equations which is based on a combined finite element/finite volume formulation on unstructured triangular meshes. Time integration of the resulting semi-discrete equations is performed using a linearized backward Euler implicit scheme. As a result, each pseudo time step requires the solution of a sparse linear system. In this study, a non-overlapping domain decomposition algorithm is used for advancing the solution at each implicit time step. Algebraically, the Schwarz algorithm is equivalent to a Jacobi iteration on a linear system whose matrix has a block structure. A substructuring technique can be applied to this matrix in order to obtain a fully implicit scheme in terms of interface unknowns. In the present approach, the interface unknowns are numerical fluxes. The interface system is solved by means of a full GMRES method. Here, the local system solves that are induced by matrix-vector products with the interface operator, are performed using a multigrid by volume agglomeration method. The resulting hybrid domain decomposition and multigrid solver is applied to the computation of several steady flows around a geometry of NACA0012 airfoil.     

Implicit Calculations of an Aeroelasticity Problem

The purpose of this work is to show that a linearized implicit scheme for the flow resolution can be an efficient and accurate method for solving fluid-structure interaction. The fluid is modeled by the Euler equations in two dimensions and the structure by a one (free piston) or a two (NACA0012 airfoil) degrees of freedom system. The schemes are developed using a finite volume/finite element formulation and, stating the moving boundary problem in the space-time domain, the Riemann solver is generalized in a suitable manner. Assuming a modal decomposition for the structure's response, an analytical solution to the equation of motion is obtained.

The effects of the linearized implicit scheme on the aeroelastic response are demonstrated on the free piston and the NACA 0012 airfoil problems. In the latter case, we focus on the capability of the linearized implicit scheme to accurately predict the stability limit of the coupled response (wing flutter analysis). Although the above analysis is performed using a rigid transformation, a robust moving mesh strategy is presented for more general 2-D and 3-D deformations.     

An efficient reduced-order modelling approach based on fluid eigenmodes and boundary element method

This paper presents an efficient reduced-order modelling approach based on the boundary element method. In this approach, the eigenvalue problem of the unsteady flows is defined based on the unknown wake singularities. By constructing this reduced-order model, the body quasi-static eigenmodes are removed from the eigensystem and it is possible to obtain satisfactory results without using the static correction technique when enough eigenmodes are used. In addition to the conventional method, eigenanalysis and reduced-order modelling of unsteady flows over a NACA 0012 airfoil, a wing with NACA 0012 section and a wing–body combination are performed using the proposed reduced order modelling (ROM) method. Numerical examples are presented that demonstrate the accuracy and computational efficiency of the present method.     

THE APPLICATION OF A FINITE DIFFERENCE/FINITE VOLUME ALGORITHM TO SOLVE MAXWELL'S EQUATIONS IN THE TIME DOMAIN

Abstract

A finite volume/finite difference method based on Ni's multigrid formulation is introduced for the solution of Maxwell's equations. The scheme is presented for the cases of transverse magnetic scattering from two-dimensional circular and square cylinders, as well as from NACA 0012 airfoil. The codes are validated against the traditional Method of Moments, which is analogous to a panel method in CFD. The circular cylinder scattering is compared to the analytical series solution for better understanding how the roles of numerical dispersion and dissipation errors affect the solution. The reflecting boundary conditions are modeled by the idea of inducing fields inside the conductor and a method of modeling the singularities that arise at a sharp corner is presented. Absorbing boundary conditions are modeled by integrating along the characteristic compatibility equations in the direction of the outgoing wave.     

Combined immersed boundary method and multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann flux solver for numerical simulations of incompressible flows

A method combining the immersed boundary technique and a multirelaxation-time(MRT) lattice Boltzmann flux solver(LBFS) is presented for numerical simulation of incompressible flows over circular and elliptic cylinders and NACA 0012 Airfoil. The method uses a simple Cartesian mesh to simulate flows past immersed complicated bodies. With the Chapman-Enskog expansion analysis, a transform is performed between the Navier-Stokes and lattice Boltzmann equations(LBEs). The LBFS is used to discretize the macroscopic differential equations with a finite volume method and evaluate the interface fluxes through local reconstruction of the lattice Boltzmann solution.The immersed boundary technique is used to correct the intermediate velocity around the solid boundary to satisfy the no-slip boundary condition. Agreement of simulation results with the data found in the literature shows reliability of the proposed method in simulating laminar flows on a Cartesian mesh.

Euler solutions for aerodynamic inverse shape design

Contributions to the aerodynamics development have to be involved to achieve an increase in quality, reducing time and computer costs. Therefore, this work develops an optimization method based on the finite volume explicit Runge–Kutta multi‐stage scheme with central spatial discretization in combination with multigrid and preconditioning. The multigrid approach includes local time‐stepping and residual smoothing. Such a method allows getting the goal of compressible and almost incompressible solution of fluid flows, having a rate of convergence almost independent from the Mach number. Numerical tests are carried out for the NACA 0012 and 0009 airfoils and three‐dimensional wings based on NACA profiles for Mach‐numbers ranging from 0.8 to 0.002 using the Euler equations. These calculations are found to compare favorably with experimental and numerical data available in the literature. Besides, it is worth pointing out that these results build on earlier ones when finding appropriate new three‐dimensional aerodynamical geometries. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A fully discrete ALE method over untwisted time–space control volumes

In this paper, a fully discrete high‐resolution arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) method is developed over untwisted time–space control volumes. In the framework of the finite volume method, 2D Euler equations are discretized over untwisted moving control volumes, and the resulting numerical flux is computed using the generalized Riemann problem solver. Then, the fluid flows between meshes at two successive time steps can be updated without a remapping process in the classic ALE method. This remapping‐free ALE method directly couples the mesh motion into a physical variable update to reflect the temporal evolution in the whole process. An untwisted moving mesh is generated in terms of the vorticity‐free part of the fluid velocity according to the Helmholtz theorem. Some typical numerical tests show the competitive performance of the current method. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Solution of the Incompressible Unsteady Navier–Stokes Equations Only in Terms of the Velocity Components

A method which uses only the velocity components as primitive variables is described for solution of the incompressible unsteady Navier–Stokes equations. The method involves the multiplication of the primitive variable-based Navier–Stokes equations with the unit normal vector of finite volume elements and the integration of the resulting equations along the boundaries of four-node quadrilateral finite volume elements. Therefore, the pressure term is eliminated from the governing equations and any difficulty associated with pressure or vorticity boundary conditions is avoided. The equations are discretized on four-node quadrilateral finite volume elements by using the second-order-accurate central finite differences with the mid-point integral rule in space and the first-order-accurate backward finite differences in time. The resulting system of algebraic equations is solved in coupled form using a direct solver. As a test case, an impulsively accelerated lid-driven cavity flow in a square enclosure is solved in order to verify the accuracy of the present method.     

Computation of three-dimensional flow using the Euler equations and a multiple-grid scheme

The unsteady Euler equations are numerically solved using the finite volume one-step scheme recently developed by Ron-Ho Ni. The multiple-grid procedure of Ni is also implemented. The flows are assumed to be homo-enthalpic; the energy equation is eliminated and the static pressure is determined by the steady Bernoulli equation; a local time-step technique is used. Inflow and outflow boundaries are treated with the compatibility relations method of ONERA. The efficiency of the multiple-grid scheme is demonstrated by a two-dimensional calculation (transonic flow past the NACA 12 aerofoil) and also by a three-dimensional one (transonic lifting flow past the M6 wing). The third application presented shows the ability of the method to compute the vortical flow around a delta wing with leading-edge separation. No condition is applied at the leading-edge; the vortex sheets are captured in the same sense as shock waves. Results indicate that the Euler equations method is well suited for the prediction of flows with shock waves and contact discontinuities, the multiple-grid procedure allowing a substantial reduction of the computational time.
