High-order Lagrangian cell-centered conservative scheme on unstructured meshes

A high-order Lagrangian cell-centered conservative gas dynamics scheme is presented on unstructured meshes. A high-order piecewise pressure of the cell is intro- duced. With the high-order piecewise pressure of the cell, the high-order spatial discretiza- tion fluxes are constructed. The time discretization of the spatial fluxes is performed by means of the Taylor expansions of the spatial discretization fluxes. The vertex velocities are evaluated in a consistent manner due to an original solver located at the nodes by means of momentum conservation. Many numerical tests are presented to demonstrate the robustness and the accuracy of the scheme.     

Harten-Lax-van Leer-contact (HLLC) approximation Riemann solver with elastic waves for one-dimensional elastic-plastic problems

A Harten-Lax-van Leer-contact (HLLC) approximate Riemann solver is built with elastic waves (HLLCE) for one-dimensional elastic-plastic flows with a hypoelastic constitutive model and the von Mises’ yielding criterion. Based on the HLLCE, a third-order cell-centered Lagrangian scheme is built for one-dimensional elastic-plastic problems. A number of numerical experiments are carried out. The numerical results show that the proposed third-order scheme achieves the desired order of accuracy. The third-order scheme is used to the numerical solution of the problems with elastic shock waves and elastic rarefaction waves. The numerical results are compared with a reference solution and the results obtained by other authors. The comparison shows that the presented high-order scheme is convergent, stable, and essentially non-oscillatory. Moreover, the HLLCE is more efficient than the two-rarefaction Riemann solver with elastic waves (TRRSE).     

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 3D staggered Lagrangian scheme for ideal magnetohydrodynamics on unstructured meshes

In this paper, we propose a 3D staggered Lagrangian scheme for the ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) on unstructured meshes. All the thermal variables and the magnetic induction are defined in the cell centers while the fluid velocity is located at the nodes. The meshes are compatibly discretized to ensure the geometric conservation laws in Lagrangian computation by the classical subcell method, then the momentum equation is discretized using the subcell forces and the specific internal energy equation is obtained by the total energy conservation. Invoking the Galilean invariance, magnetic flux conservation, and the thermodynamic consistency, the expressions of subcell force as well as the cell-centered velocity are derived. Besides, the magnetic divergence-free constraint is fulfilled by a projection method after each time step. Various numerical tests are presented to assert the robustness and accuracy of our scheme.     

MFCAV近似Riemann解在新型拉氏方法中的应用

Maire等提出了一种新型的有限体积中心型拉氏方法, 该方法大大地改善了一直困扰着一般中心型拉氏方法的虚假网格变形. 然而在计算数值流和移动网格时,该方法只应用了数值黏性较大的弱波近似(weak wave approximatedmethod, WWAM) Riemann解, 而且方法的设计表明其他类型的近似Riemann解不能简单直接地应用上去. 将体平均多流管(multifluid channel on averaged volume, MFCAV)近似Riemann解视为对WWAM的修正,成功将其应用于新型方法中, 数值实验表明应用了MFCAV 的新方法是有效的. 研究为将其他更为有效的近似Riemann解应用于该新型方法中开辟了一条道路.      

An entropy fixed cell‐centered Lagrangian scheme

On the basis of the work [P.‐H. Maire, R. Abgrall, J. Breil, J. Ovadia, SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 29 (2007), 1781–1824], we present an entropy fixed cell‐centered Lagrangian scheme for solving the Euler equations of compressible gas dynamics. The scheme uses the fully Lagrangian form of the gas dynamics equations, in which the primary variables are cell‐centered. And using the nodal solver, we obtain the nodal viscous‐velocity, viscous‐pressures, antidissipation velocity, and antidissipation pressures of each node. The final nodal velocity is computed as a weighted sum of viscous‐velocity and antidissipation velocity, so do nodal pressures, whereas these weights are calculated through the total entropy conservation for isentropic flows. Consequently, the constructed scheme is conservative in mass, momentum, and energy; preserves entropy for isentropic flows, and satisfies a local entropy inequality for nonisentropic flows. One‐ and two‐dimensional numerical examples are presented to demonstrate theoretical analysis and performance of the scheme in terms of accuracy and robustness.Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A conservative local interface sharpening scheme for the constrained interpolation profile method

A conservative local interface sharpening scheme has been developed for the constrained interpolation profile method with the conservative semi‐Lagrangian scheme, because the conservative semi‐Lagrangian scheme does not feature a mechanism to control the interface thickness, thus causing an increase of numerical error with the advance of the time step. The proposed sharpening scheme is based on the conservative level set method proposed by Olsson and Kreiss. However, because their method can cause excessive deformation of the free‐surface in certain circumstances, we propose an improvement of the method by developing a local sharpening technique. Several advection tests are presented to assess the correctness of the advection and the improved interface sharpening scheme. This is followed by the validations of dam‐breaking flow and the rising bubble flows. The mass of the fluid is exactly conserved and the computed terminal velocity of the rising bubble agrees well with the experiments compared with other numerical methods such as the volume of fluid method (VOF), the front tracking method, and the level set method.

A multi‐moment transport model on cubed‐sphere grid

A conservative, single‐cell‐based semi‐Lagrangian transport model is proposed in this paper. Using multi‐moment concept, an additional moment, i.e. volume‐integrated average (VIA), is treated as the model variable besides the point value (PV) updated in the traditional semi‐Lagrangian schemes. A quadratic interpolation function is constructed based on local degrees of freedom defined within each single cell. The PV moment is advanced by the semi‐Lagrangian formulation, whereas the VIA moment is updated by a finite volume formulation to rigorously ensure the numerical conservation. The numerical fluxes are computed from the PV moments defined along the boundary edges of the control volume. The scheme is extended to the spherical geometry through the application of the cubed‐sphere grid that eliminates the polar singularity in the conventional longitude/latitude coordinates by using the quasi‐uniform grid spacing covering the whole sphere. The single‐cell‐based scheme is well suited for the treatment of the connections between different patches. A simple quasi‐monotone limiter to the PV moment is applied to suppress non‐physical oscillations. The proposed scheme has been validated via representative benchmark tests and the performance is competitive to other existing transport schemes. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A simple method for compressible multiphase mixtures and interfaces

We develop a Godunov‐type scheme for a non‐conservative, unconditional hyperbolic multiphase model. It involves a set of seven partial differential equations and has the ability to solve interface problems between pure materials as well as compressible multiphase mixtures with two velocities and non‐equilibrium thermodynamics (two pressures, two temperatures, two densities, etc.).Its numerical resolution poses several difficulties. The model possesses a large number of acoustic and convective waves (seven waves) and it is not easy to upwind all these waves accurately and simply. Also, the system is non‐conservative, and the numerical approximations of the corresponding terms need to be provided. In this paper, we focus on a method, based on a characteristic decomposition which solves these problems in a simple way and with good accuracy. The robustness, accuracy and versatility of the method is clearly demonstrated on several test problems with exact solutions. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Incompressible Flows with Piecewise Constant Density

We investigate the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with variable density. The aim is to prove existence and uniqueness results in the case of discontinuous initial density. In dimension n = 2,3, assuming only that the initial density is bounded and bounded away from zero, and that the initial velocity is smooth enough, we get the local-in-time existence of unique solutions. Uniqueness holds in any dimension and for a wider class of velocity fields. In particular, all those results are true for piecewise constant densities with arbitrarily large jumps. Global results are established in dimension two if the density is close enough to a positive constant, and in n dimensions if, in addition, the initial velocity is small. The Lagrangian formulation for describing the flow plays a key role in the analysis that is proposed in the present paper.

Cavitating/non-cavitating flows simulation by third-order finite volume scheme and power-law preconditioning method

Equations of steady inviscid and laminar flows are solved by means of a third-order finite volume (FV) scheme. For this purpose, a cell-centered discretization technique is employed. In this technique, the flow parameters at the cell faces are computed using a third-order weighted averages procedure. A fourth-order artificial dissipation is used for stability of the solution. In order to achieve the steady-state situation, four-step Runge-Kutta explicit time integration method is applied. An advanced progressive preconditioning method, named the power-law preconditioning method, is used for faster convergence. In this method, the preconditioning matrix is adjusted automatically from the velocity and/or pressure flow-field by a power-law relation. Attention is directed towards accuracy and convergence of the schemes. The results presented in the paper focus on steady inviscid and laminar flows around sheet-cavitating and fully-wetted bodies including hydrofoils and circular/elliptical cylinder. Excellent agreements are obtained when numerical predictions are compared with other available experimental and numerical results. In addition, it is found that using the power-law preconditioner significantly increases the numerical convergence speed.     

Positive‐definite q‐families of continuous subcell Darcy‐flux CVD(MPFA) finite‐volume schemes and the mixed finite element method

A new family of locally conservative cell‐centred flux‐continuous schemes is presented for solving the porous media general‐tensor pressure equation. A general geometry‐permeability tensor approximation is introduced that is piecewise constant over the subcells of the control volumes and ensures that the local discrete general tensor is elliptic. A family of control‐volume distributed subcell flux‐continuous schemes are defined in terms of the quadrature parametrization q (Multigrid Methods. Birkhauser: Basel, 1993; Proceedings of the 4th European Conference on the Mathematics of Oil Recovery, Norway, June 1994; Comput. Geosci. 1998; 2 :259–290), where the local position of flux continuity defines the quadrature point and each particular scheme. The subcell tensor approximation ensures that a symmetric positive‐definite (SPD) discretization matrix is obtained for the base member (q=1) of the formulation. The physical‐space schemes are shown to be non‐symmetric for general quadrilateral cells. Conditions for discrete ellipticity of the non‐symmetric schemes are derived with respect to the local symmetric part of the tensor. The relationship with the mixed finite element method is given for both the physical‐space and subcell‐space q‐families of schemes. M‐matrix monotonicity conditions for these schemes are summarized. A numerical convergence study of the schemes shows that while the physical‐space schemes are the most accurate, the subcell tensor approximation reduces solution errors when compared with earlier cell‐wise constant tensor schemes and that subcell tensor approximation using the control‐volume face geometry yields the best SPD scheme results. A particular quadrature point is found to improve numerical convergence of the subcell schemes for the cases tested. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A combined finite volumes - finite elements method for a low-Mach model

In this paper, we develop a finite volumes - finite elements method based on a time splitting to simulate some low-Mach flows. The mass conservation equation is solved by a vertex-based finite volume scheme using a τ-limiter. The momentum equation associated with the compressibility constraint is solved by a finite element projection scheme. The originality of the approach is twofold. First, the state equation linking the temperature, the density, and the thermodynamic pressure is imposed implicitly. Second, the proposed combined scheme preserves the constant states, in the same way as a similar one previously developed for the variable density Navier-Stokes system. Some numerical tests are performed to exhibit the efficiency of the scheme. On the one hand, academic tests illustrate the ability of the scheme in term of convergence rates in time and space. On the other hand, our results are compared to some of the literature by simulating a transient injection flow as well as a natural convection flow in a cavity.
