基于核重构思想的配点型无网格方法的研究--一维问题

无网格方法按其离散原理可分为Galerkin型、配点型等。其中Galerkin型无网格方法的实施需要背景网格，不属于真正的无网格法；配点型无网格方法的实施不需要背景网格，是真正的无网格法。本文首先介绍了重构核点法的基本原理，然后基于核重构思想，与配点法相结合，以一维问题为例，研究了配点型无网格方法，对该方法构造过程中的近似函数及其导数的计算、修正函数的计算及方法的实现等问题进行了探讨。并结合若干典型算例，检验了其计算精度与收敛姓。     

基于单位分解法的无网格数值流形方法

在数值流形方法和单位分解法的基础上，提出了无网格数值流形方法. 无网格数值流形 方法在分析时采用了双重覆盖系统，即数学覆盖和物理覆盖. 数学覆盖提供的节点形成求解 域的有限覆盖和单位分解函数；而物理覆盖描述问题的几何区域及其域内不连续性. 与原有 的数值流形方法相比，无网格数值流形方法的数学覆盖形状更加灵活，可以用一系列节点的 影响域来建立数学覆盖和单位分解函数，具有无网格方法的特性，从而摆脱了传统的数值流 形方法中网格所带来的困难. 与无网格方法相比，由于采用了有限覆盖技术，试函数的构造 不受域内不连续的影响，克服了原有的无网格方法在处理不连续问题时所遇到的困难. 详细推导了无网格数值流形方法的试函数和求解方程，最后给出了算例，验证了该方法的正 确性.     

基于局部Petrov-Galerkin离散方案的无网格法

基于局部Petrov-Galerkin离散方案,选用自然邻近插值构造试函数,用Shepard函数作为权函数,提出了一种无网格方法(MNNPG),这种方法充分发挥了局部Petrov-Galerkin法的优势,并且结合了自然邻近插值的特点,方便引入边界条件,由于以Shepard函数的圆形支集作为积分子域,用分片中点插值来完成区域积分,无需额外背景网格,是一种真正的无网格法。本文将该无网格方法用于求解二维弹性力学边值问题,算例结果很好地吻合了精确解,表明该方法具有良好的数值精度和稳定性。     

弹性力学的一种边界无单元法

首先对移动最小二乘副近法进行了研究，针对其容易形成病态方程的缺点，提出了以带权的正交函数作为基函数的方法－改进的移动最小二乘副近法，改进的移动最小二乘逼近法比原方法计算量小，精度高，且不会形成病态方程组，然后，将弹性力学的边界积分方程方法与改进的移动最小二乘逼近法结合，提出了弹性力学的一种边界无单元法，这种边界无单元法法是边界积分方程的无网格方法，与原有的边界积分方程的无网格方法相比，该方法直接采用节点变量的真实解为基本未知量，是边界积分方程无网格方法的直接解法，更容易引入界条件，且具有更高的精度，最后给出了弹性力学的边界无单元法的数值算例，并与原有的边界积分方程的无网格方法进行了较为详细的比较和讨论。     

复变量移动最小二乘法及其应用

提出了复变量移动最小二乘法，并详细讨论了基于正交基函数的复变量移动最小二乘 法. 然后，将复变量移动最小二乘法和弹性力学的边界无单元法结合，提出了弹性力学的复 变量边界无单元法，推导了相应的公式，并给出了数值算例. 基于正交基函数的复变量移动 最小二乘法的优点是不形成病态方程组、精度高，所形成的无网格方法计算量小. 复变量边 界无单元法是边界积分方程的无网格方法的直接列式法，容易引入边界条件，且具有更高的 精度.     

瞬态热传导问题的无网格法快速求解算法研究

为了提高基于Galerkin弱积分形式的无网格方法求解瞬态热传导问题的计算效率,提出了两种方案:第一种方案在空间离散上采用基于任意凸多边形节点影响域的无网格形函数,并通过选取适当的节点影响半径因子,使背景网格内的积分点仅对该背景网格内的无网格节点有贡献,从而避免了节点搜索问题,减少了系统刚度矩阵的带宽,且当节点影响半径因子为1.01时,无网格方法的形函数近似具有插值特性;第二种方案在求解线性方程组时,引入质量矩阵集中技术,从而避免了系统方程组的求解.二维矩形区域、二维圆形区域的瞬态热传导数值算例结果表明:在保证计算精度的同时,采用任意多边形节点影响域的无网格方法比传统无网格方法的计算时间至少节省44.09%,采用质量矩阵集中技术的无网格方法比传统无网格方法的计算时间至少节省76.15%,且当节点影响半径因子为1.01时,其本质边界条件的施加和有限元方法一样简单;由于采用质量矩阵集中技术的无网格方法比采用任意多边形节点影响域的无网格方法精度较低,因此如仅从计算效率考虑,对精度要求不是很高(误差在5%以内),建议采用质量矩阵集中技术,如同时考虑计算精度和效率,建议采用多边形节点影响域的技术.     

无网格法的理论及应用

详细论述了近年来迅速发展的无网格法的理论基础及其在各个领域内的应 用. 无网格法网格依赖性弱, 避免了传统的有限元、边界元等基于网格的数值方法 中可能出现的网格畸变和扭曲, 在一些有限元、边界元等方法难以较好处理的领域体现 出独特的优势. 以加权余量法为主线归纳了已有的30多种无网格法, 各类 无网格法的主要区别在于使用了不同的加权余量法和近似函数. 详尽介绍 了各种无网格近似方案(包括移动最小二乘近似、核近似和重构核近似、单位分 解近似、径向基函数近似、点插值近似、自然邻接点插值近似等)和无网格法 中常用的各类加权余量法(伽辽金格式、配点格式、局部弱形式、加权最小二乘 格式和边界积分格式等), 并讨论了数值积分方法和边界条件的处理等问题. 在 此基础上较系统地总结了无网格法在冲击爆炸、裂纹传播、超大变形、结 构优化、流固耦合、生物力学和微纳米力学等领域的应用, 展示了无网格法相 对于传统数值方法的优势.     

无网格局部Petrov-Galerkin法求解板壳弹塑性大变形

无网格局部Petrov-Galerkin法构造的高阶光滑的形函数非常适合建立板壳结构场函数的逼近函数,是一种比较理想的研究板壳问题的方法.基于Mindlin板壳理论,采用更新拉格朗日原理和大变形条件下场量的无网格表达形式,实现了率型无网格局部Petrov-Galerkin方法对板壳弹塑性大变形的求解,算例分析表明了方法的有效性和较高的分析精度.     

配点型广义节点无网格法的基本原理及其应用

借鉴流形方法思想,引入广义节点的概念,对传统的无网格法进行了改进,建立了可具有任意高阶多项式插值函数的广义节点无网格方法。同时采用径向插值函数构造具有插值特性的逼近函数;采用配点法建立系统的离散方程。在阐述了这种方法基本原理的同时,针对线弹性力学问题给出了这种方法的数值计算列式。与传统无网格方法相比,这种方法更具有一般性;同时由于采用了配点法而不需要背景积分网格,所以可以认为这种方法是某种真正意义上的无网格法。当选取0阶广义节点位移插值函数时便可得到传统的无网格法;在不增加支持域内节点数目的条件下,通过选取高阶广义节点位移插值函数可以提高计算精度。最后通过算例分析,对0阶、1阶及2阶广义节点无网格法与现有的有关解答进行了对比,论证了其合理性。

Regularization of Discontinuous Vector Fields on $${\mathbb{R}^3}$$ via Singular Perturbation

Singular perturbations problems in dimension three which are approximations of discontinuous vector fields are studied in this paper. The main result states that the regularization process developed by Sotomayor and Teixeira produces a singular problem for which the discontinuous set is a center manifold. Moreover, the definition of sliding vector field coincides with the reduced problem of the corresponding singular problem for a class of vector fields.      

Connections between the discontinuous Galerkin method and high‐order flux reconstruction schemes

With high‐order methods becoming more widely adopted throughout the field of computational fluid dynamics, the development of new computationally efficient algorithms has increased tremendously in recent years. One of the most recent methods to be developed is the flux reconstruction approach, which allows various well‐known high‐order schemes to be cast within a single unifying framework. Whilst a connection between flux reconstruction and the more widely adopted discontinuous Galerkin method has been established elsewhere, it still remains to fully investigate the explicit connections between the many popular variants of the discontinuous Galerkin method and the flux reconstruction approach. In this work, we closely examine the connections between three nodal versions of tensor‐product discontinuous Galerkin spectral element approximations and two types of flux reconstruction schemes for solving systems of conservation laws on quadrilateral meshes. The different types of discontinuous Galerkin approximations arise from the choice of the solution nodes of the Lagrange basis representing the solution and from the quadrature approximation used to integrate the mass matrix and the other terms of the discretization. By considering both linear and nonlinear advection equations on a regular grid, we examine the mathematical properties that connect these discretizations. These arguments are further confirmed by the results of an empirical numerical study. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A study of penalty elements for incompressible laminar flows

A finite element model is developed based on the penalty formulation to study incompressible laminar flows. The study includes a number of new quadrilateral and triangular elements for 2-dimensional flows and a number of new hexahedral and tetrahedral elements for 3-dimensional flows. All elements employ continuous velocity approximations and discontinuous pressure approximations respecting the LBB condition of numerical instability. An incremental Newton–Raphson method coupled with the Broyden method is used to solve the non-linear equations. Several numerical examples (colliding flow, cavity flow, etc.) are presented to assess the efficiency of elements.     

On finite element approximation and stabilization methods for compressible viscous flows

This work is devoted to the numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes equations for compressible viscous fluids. Finite element approximations and stabilization techniques are addressed. We present methods to implement discontinuous approximations for the pressure and the density. An upwinding methodology is being investigated which combines the ideas behind the stream line Petrov–Galerkin method and the flux limiter methods aiming to introduce numerical diffusion only where it is necessary.     

High‐order continuous and discontinuous Galerkin methods for wave problems

Three Galerkin methods—continuous Galerkin, Compact Discontinuous Galerkin, and hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin—are compared in terms of performance and computational efficiency in 2‐D scattering problems for low and high‐order polynomial approximations. The total number of DOFs and the total runtime are used for this correlation as well as the corresponding precision. The comparison is carried out through various numerical examples. The superior performance of high‐order elements is shown. At the same time, similar capabilities are shown for continuous Galerkin and hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin, when high‐order elements are adopted, both of them clearly outperforming compact discontinuous Galerkin.

A locally conservative,discontinuous least‐squares finite element method for the Stokes equations

Conventional least‐squares finite element methods (LSFEMs) for incompressible flows conserve mass only approximately. For some problems, mass loss levels are large and result in unphysical solutions. In this paper we formulate a new, locally conservative LSFEM for the Stokes equations wherein a discrete velocity field is computed that is point‐wise divergence free on each element. The central idea is to allow discontinuous velocity approximations and then to define the velocity field on each element using a local stream‐function. The effect of the new LSFEM approach on improved local and global mass conservation is compared with a conventional LSFEM for the Stokes equations employing standard C⁰ Lagrangian elements.

On the accuracy of high-order discretizations for underresolved turbulence simulations

In this paper, we investigate the accuracy of a high-order discontinuous Galerkin discretization for the coarse resolution simulation of turbulent flow. We show that a low-order approximation exhibits unacceptable numerical discretization errors, whereas a naive application of high-order discretizations in those situations is often unstable due to aliasing. Thus, for high-order simulations of underresolved turbulence, proper stabilization is necessary for a successful computation. Two different mechanisms are chosen, and their impact on the accuracy of underresolved high-order computations of turbulent flows is investigated. Results of these approximations for the Taylor–Green Vortex problem are compared to direct numerical simulation results from literature. Our findings show that the superior discretization properties of high-order approximations are retained even for these coarsely resolved computations.     

Superconvergence and H(div) projection for discontinuous Galerkin methods

We introduce and analyse a projection of the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) velocity approximations that preserve the local mass conservation property. The projected velocities have the additional property of continuous normal component. Both theoretical and numerical convergence rates are obtained which show that the accuracy of the DG velocity field is maintained. Superconvergence properties of the DG methods are shown. Finally, numerical simulations of complicated flow and transport problem illustrate the benefits of the projection. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A one-dimensional meshfree particle formulation for simulating shock waves

In this paper, a one-dimensional meshfree particle formulation is proposed for simulating shock waves, which are associated with discontinuous phenomena. This new formulation is based on Taylor series expansion in the piecewise continuous regions on both sides of a discontinuity. The new formulation inherits the meshfree Lagrangian and particle nature of SPH, and is a natural extension and improvement on the traditional SPH method and the recently proposed corrective smoothed particle method (CSPM). The formulation is consistent even in the discontinuous regions. The resultant kernel and particle approximations consist of a primary part similar to that in CSPM, and a corrective part derived from the discontinuity. A numerical study is carried out to examine the performance of the formulation. The results show that the new formulation not only remedies the boundary deficiency problem but also simulates the discontinuity well. The formulation is applied to simulate the shock tube problem and a 1-D TNT slab detonation. It is found that the proposed formulation captures the shock wave at comparatively lower particle resolution. These preliminary numerical tests suggest that the new meshfree particle formulation is attractive in simulating hydrodynamic problems with discontinuities such as shocks waves.Received: 8 October 2002, Accepted: 10 May 2003, Published online: 15 August 2003
