Iterative algorithm for solving the retrospective problem of thermal convection in a viscous fluid

A retrospective problem consisting in the reconstruction of an apriori unknown initial state of a highly viscous, incompressible fluid from its known final state is studied. The fluid dynamics model in the Boussinesq approximation is described by the equations of Stokes, incompressibility, and thermal balance with the corresponding initial and boundary conditions. The problem is solved in the inverse direction of time using a new, specially developed iterative method which makes it possible to reduce the original unstable problem to a set of stable problems. The algorithm based on this method is realized on a parallel computer using the OpenFOAM package for engineering calculations. The computational efficiency of the algorithm is analyzed.

The wave based method: An overview of 15 years of research

The Wave Based Method is a deterministic prediction technique to solve steady-state dynamic problems and is developed to overcome some of the frequency limitations imposed by element-based prediction techniques. The method belongs to the family of indirect Trefftz approaches and uses a weighted sum of so-called wave functions, which are exact solutions of the governing partial differential equations, to approximate the dynamic field variables. By minimising the errors on boundary and interface conditions, a system of equations is obtained which can be solved for the unknown contribution factors of each wave function. As a result, the system of equations is smaller and a higher convergence rate and lower computational loads are obtained as compared to conventional prediction techniques. On the other hand, the method shows its full efficiency for rather moderately complex geometries. As a result, various enhancements have been made to the method through the years, in order to extend the applicability of the Wave Based Method. This paper gives an overview of the current state of the art of the Wave Based Method, elaborating on the modelling procedure, a comparison of the properties of the Wave Based Method and element-based prediction techniques, application areas, extensions to the method such as hybrid and multi-level approaches and the most recent developments.
