The Graded Algebra Generated by Two Eulerian Derivatives

We study the algebra R _p,q generated by the Eulerian derivatives for two parameters p and q. Subject to certain conditions on the parameters, we show that R _p,q is a finitely presented N-graded algebra of Gelfand–Kirillov dimension 3. We establish a criterion for the cyclic module R _p,q /R _p,q f to be Noetherian, where f is homogeneous of degree 1. For some choices of the parameters, this criterion always holds and we know of no situation where it fails. It is not known whether R _p,q is Noetherian. We classify the point modules for R _p,q and determine the normal elements and graded automorphisms for R _p,q .

Computational algorithms for tracking dynamic fluid–structure interfaces in embedded boundary methods

A robust, accurate, and computationally efficient interface tracking algorithm is a key component of an embedded computational framework for the solution of fluid–structure interaction problems with complex and deformable geometries. To a large extent, the design of such an algorithm has focused on the case of a closed embedded interface and a Cartesian computational fluid dynamics grid. Here, two robust and efficient interface tracking computational algorithms capable of operating on structured as well as unstructured three‐dimensional computational fluid dynamics grids are presented. The first one is based on a projection approach, whereas the second one is based on a collision approach. The first algorithm is faster. However, it is restricted to closed interfaces and resolved enclosed volumes. The second algorithm is therefore slower. However, it can handle open shell surfaces and underresolved enclosed volumes. Both computational algorithms exploit the bounding box hierarchy technique and its parallel distributed implementation to efficiently store and retrieve the elements of the discretized embedded interface. They are illustrated, and their respective performances are assessed and contrasted, with the solution of three‐dimensional, nonlinear, dynamic fluid–structure interaction problems pertaining to aeroelastic and underwater implosion applications.

CFD–DEM simulation of turbulence modulation in horizontal pneumatic conveying

A study is presented to evaluate the capabilities of the standard k–ε turbulence model and the k–ε turbulence model with added source terms in predicting the experimentally measured turbulence modulation due to the presence of particles in horizontal pneumatic conveying, in the context of a CFD–DEM Eulerian–Lagrangian simulation. Experiments were performed using a 6.5-m long, 0.075-m diameter horizontal pipe in conjunction with a laser Doppler anemometry (LDA) system. Spherical glass beads with two sizes, 1.5 and 2 mm, were used. Simulations were performed using the commercial discrete element method software EDEM, coupled with the computational fluid dynamics package FLUENT. Hybrid source terms were added to the conventional k–ε turbulence model to take into account the influence of the dispersed phase on the carrier phase turbulence intensity. The simulation results showed that the turbulence modulation depends strongly on the model parameter C_ε3. Both the standard k–ε turbulence model and the k–ε turbulence model with the hybrid source terms could predict the gas phase turbulence intensity trend only generally. A noticeable discrepancy in all cases between simulation and experimental results was observed, particularly for the regions close to the pipe wall. It was also observed that in some cases the addition of the source terms to the k–ε turbulence model did not improve the simulation results when compared with those of the standard k–ε turbulence model. Nonetheless, in the lower part of the pipe where particle loading was greater due to gravitational effects, the model with added source terms performed somewhat better.     

BERNOULLI NUMBERS AND SOLITONS — REVISITED

In the present paper we propose a new proof of the Grosset–Veselov formula connecting one-soliton solution of the Korteweg–de Vries equation to the Bernoulli numbers. The approach involves Eulerian numbers and Riccati's differential equation.     

A frame invariant and maximum principle enforcing second‐order extension for cell‐centered ALE schemes based on local convex hull preservation

Two difficulties are clearly identified for high‐order extensions of ALE schemes for Euler equations: strict respect of the maximum principle and preservation of the Galilean invariance. We deal with these two issues in this paper. Our approach is closely related to the concepts of a posteriori limiting and convex hull spanning. We introduce the notion of local convex hull preservation schemes, which embodies these two concepts. We lean on this notion to propose a fully Galilean invariant ALE scheme. Moreover, we provide a new limiter (called Apitali for A Posteriori ITerAtive LImiter) for the remap step, enforcing the local convex hull preservation property.

Projection‐based variational multiscale method for incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in time‐dependent domains

A variational multiscale method for computations of incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in time‐dependent domains is presented. The proposed scheme is a three‐scale variational multiscale method with a projection‐based scale separation that uses an additional tensor valued space for the large scales. The resolved large and small scales are computed in a coupled way with the effects of unresolved scales confined to the resolved small scales. In particular, the Smagorinsky eddy viscosity model is used to model the effects of unresolved scales. The deforming domain is handled by the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian approach and by using an elastic mesh update technique with a mesh‐dependent stiffness. Further, the choice of orthogonal finite element basis function for the resolved large scale leads to a computationally efficient scheme. Simulations of flow around a static beam attached to a square base, around an oscillating beam and around a plunging aerofoil are presented. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The comparison of two approaches to numerical modelling of gas-particles turbulent flow and heat transfer in a pipe

The comparison of two theoretical approaches for the numerical investigation of turbulent gas–solid flows with heat transfer in a pipe are presented in this paper. The first approach is based on Eulerian–Eulerian modelling of investigated phenomena, the second one is formulated within the framework of the Eulerian–Lagrangian approach. The verification of numerical models under consideration. Their testing against available experimental data show good prognostic properties of the elaborated theoretical tool for research activities to study new physical fundamentals of turbulent gas-suspended particles flows in pipes and channels.     

利用欧拉-拉格朗日方法预测层流泡状流的含气率分布

利用欧拉-拉格朗日方法，提出了用于预测竖直管道内绝热层流泡状流中含气率分布的三维模型。该模型能够跟踪单独的气泡轨迹，从而获取更多的界面力信息；同时气泡尺寸可以作为参数之一引入模型，使含气率分布的计算更为方便。模型中分析了绝热层流泡状流中气泡的各项受力表达式，建立了两种描述方法下的气液两相间的耦合关系。利用现有实验数据对模型进行的检验表明，该模型能够预测一定尺寸范围内气泡的分布；气泡径向分布主要取决于气泡所受侧向提升力。对于更大尺寸的气泡，气泡变形和气泡尾迹与当地流场间相互作用将对侧向提升力产生很大影响。
