Compound wall treatment with low‐Re turbulence model

A generalized treatment for the wall boundary conditions relating to turbulent flows is developed that blends the integration to a solid wall with wall functions. The blending function ensures a smooth transition between the viscous and turbulent regions. An improved low Reynolds number k?ε model is coupled with the proposed compound wall treatment to determine the turbulence field. The eddy viscosity formulation maintains the positivity of normal Reynolds stresses and Schwarz' inequality for turbulent shear stresses. The model coefficients/functions preserve the anisotropic characteristics of turbulence. Computations with fine and coarse meshes of a few flow cases yield appreciably good agreement with the direct numerical simulation and experimental data. The method is recommended for computing the complex flows where computational grids cannot satisfy a priori the prerequisites of viscous/turbulence regions.

Non-existence of generalized splitting methods with positive coefficients of order higher than four

We prove that generalized exponential splitting methods making explicit use of commutators of the vector fields are limited to order four when only real coefficients are admitted. This generalizes the restriction to order two for classical splitting methods with only positive coefficients.

采用基于Gauss-Legendre积分公式的三维路径积分法，分析了在过滤高斯白噪声激励下的简支梁非线性随机振动响应的概率密度函数；联立一阶滤波方程与简支梁一阶模态的振动模型，得到在过滤高斯白噪声激励下的简支梁随机振动模型，基于Gauss-Legendre积分公式的积分法和短时高斯近似法求解响应的概率密度函数值。结果表明，三维路径积分法计算值与蒙特卡洛模拟值符合良好，即使在尾部区域也符合良好。三维路径积分法比等效线性化法的计算精度更高。     

An enriched finite element algorithm for the implicit simulation of the Stefan problem

An implicit enriched finite element algorithm is proposed to simulate heat transfer involving isothermal phase changes. This technique is based on a mixed variational formulation discretized by means of an enriched finite element approximation of the enthalpy in space. The interface is implicitly described without coupling with an interface-capturing technique. The time integration is carried out with an implicit (backward) Euler algorithm in time. Two examples in 1D and 2D clearly evidence the efficiency of the method developed.

Finite elements using absolute nodal coordinates for large-deformation flexible multibody dynamics

A family of structural finite elements using a modern absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) is discussed in the paper with many applications. This approach has been initiated in 1996 by A. Shabana. It introduces large displacements of 2D/3D finite elements relative to the global reference frame without using any local frame. The elements employ finite slopes as nodal variables and can be considered as generalizations of ordinary finite elements that use infinitesimal slopes. In contrast to other large deformation formulations, the equations of motion contain constant mass matrices and generalized gravity forces as well as zero centrifugal and Coriolis inertia forces. The only nonlinear term is a vector of elastic forces. This approach allows applying known abstractions of real elastic bodies: Euler–Bernoulli beams, Timoshenko beams and more general models as well as Kirchhoff and Mindlin plate theories.     

Chaplygin ball over a fixed sphere: an explicit integration

We consider a nonholonomic system describing the rolling of a dynamically nonsymmetric sphere over a fixed sphere without slipping. The system generalizes the classical nonholonomic Chaplygin sphere problem and it is shown to be integrable for one special ratio of radii of the spheres. After a time reparameterization the system becomes a Hamiltonian one and admits a separation of variables and reduction to Abel-Jacobi quadratures. The separating variables that we found appear to be a non-trivial generalization of ellipsoidal (spheroconic) coordinates on the Poisson sphere, which can be useful in other integrable problems. Using the quadratures we also perform an explicit integration of the problem in theta-functions of the new time.
