EFFECTS OF IMPLICIT PRECONDITIONERS ON SOLUTION ACCELERATION SCHEMES IN CFD

Several solution acceleration techniques, used to obtain steady state CFD solutions as quickly as possible, are applied to an implicit, upwind Euler solver to evaluate their effectiveness. The implicit system is solved using either ADI or ILU and the solution acceleration techniques evaluated are quasi-Newton iteration, Jacobian freezing, multigrid and GMRES. ILU is a better preconditioner than ADI because it can use larger time steps. Adding GMRES does not always improve the convergence. However, GMRES preconditioned with ILU and multigrid can take advantage of Jacobian freezing to produce an efficient scheme that is relatively independent of grid size and grid quality.     

A SOLVER USING NEWTON‘S METHOD FOR UNSTEADY VISCOUS FLOWS

A solver is developed for time-accurate computations of viscous flows based on the conception of Newton‘s method. A set of pseudo-time derivatives are added into governing equations and the discretized system is solved using GMRES algorithm. Due to some special properties of GMRES algorithm, the solution procedure for unsteady flows could be regarded as a kind of Newton iteration. The physical-time derivatives of governing equations are discretized using two different approaches, I.e., 3-point Euler backward, and Crank-Nicolson formulas, both with 2nd-order accuracy in time but with different truncation errors. The turbulent eddy viscosity is calculated by using a version of Spalart~Allmaras one-equation model modified by authors for turbulent flows. Two cases of unsteady viscous flow are investigated to validate and assess the solver, I.e., low Reynolds number flow around a row of cylinders and transonic bi-circular-arc airfoil flow featuring the vortex shedding and shock buffeting problems, respectively. Meanwhile, comparisons between the two schemes of timederivative discretizations are carefully made. It is illustrated that the developed unsteady flow solver shows a considerable efficiency and the Crank-Nicolson scheme gives better results compared with Euler method.     

UNIFIED COMPUTATION OF FLOW WITH COMPRESSIBLE AND INCOMPRESSIBLE FLUID BASED ON ROE''''S SCHEME

A unified numerical scheme for the solutions of the compressible and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is investigated based on a time-derivative preconditioning algorithm. The primitive variables are pressure, velocities and temperature. The time integration scheme is used in conjunction with a finite volume discretization. The preconditioning is coupled with a high order implicit upwind scheme based on the definition of a Roe's type matrix. Computational capabilities are demonstrated through computations of high Mach number, middle Mach number, very low Mach number, and incompressible flow. It has also been demonstrated that the discontinuous surface in flow field can be captured for the implementation Roe's scheme.     

Parallel ILU preconditioning,a priori pivoting and segregation of variables for iterative solution of the mixed finite element formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations

A parallel ILU preconditioning algorithm for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations has been designed, implemented and tested. The computational mesh is divided into N subdomains which are processed in parallel in different processors. During ILU factorization, matrices and vectors associated with the nodes on the interface between the subdomains are communicated to the equation matrices to the adjacent subdomain. The bases for the parallel algorithm are an appropriate node ordering scheme and a segregation of velocity and pressure degrees of freedom. The inner nodes of the subdomain are numbered first and then the nodes on the interface between the subdomains. To avoid division by zero during the ILU factorization, the equations corresponding to the velocity degrees of freedom are assembled first in the global equation matrix, followed by the equations corresponding to the pressure degrees of freedom.

Finite element computations for unsteady fluid and elastic membrane interaction problems

The interaction between the hydrodynamic forces of a flow field and the elastic forces of adjacent deformable boundaries is described by elastohydrodynamics, a coupled fluid–elastic membrane problem. Direct numerical solution of the unsteady, highly non-linear equations requires that the dynamic evolution of both the flow field and the domain shape be determined as part of the solution, since neither is known a priori. This paper describes a numerical algorithm based on the deformable spatial domain space–time (DSD/ST) finite element method for the unsteady motion of an incompressible, viscous fluid with elastic membrane interaction. The unsteady Navier–Stoke and elastic membrane equations are solved separately using an iterative procedure by the GMRES technique with an incomplete lower-upper (ILU) decomposition at every time instant. One-dimensional, two-dimensional and deformable domain model problems are used to demonstrate the capabilities and accuracy of the present algorithm. Both steady state and transient problems are studied. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

An ILU preconditioner with coupled node fill-in for iterative solution of the mixed finite element formulation of the 2D and 3D Navier-Stokes equations

In the present paper, preconditioning of iterative equation solvers for the Navier-Stokes equations is investigated. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved for the mixed finite element formulation. The linear equation solvers used are the orthomin and the Bi-CGSTAB algorithms. The storage structure of the equation matrix is given special attention in order to avoid swapping and thereby increase the speed of the preconditioner. The preconditioners considered are Jacobian, SSOR and incomplete LU preconditioning of the matrix associated with the velocities. A new incomplete LU preconditioning with fill-in for the pressure matrix at locations in the matrix where the corner nodes are coupled is designed. For all preconditioners, inner iterations are investigated for possible improvement of the preconditioning. Numerical experiments are executed both in two and three dimensions.     

Local pressure preconditioning method for steady incompressible flows

The convergence and accuracy characteristics of the preconditioned incompressible Euler and Navier–Stokes equations are studied. An object-oriented C++ numerical code has been developed for solving the inviscid and viscous, steady, incompressible flows problems. The code is based on the cell-centred finite volume method. In this scheme, two-dimensional incompressible Euler and Navier–Stokes equations are modified by a robust artificial compressibility (AC) and a local preconditioning matrix of pressure-sensor type. The preconditioned equations are solved with the Jameson's numerical approach, i.e. artificial dissipation and artificial viscosity terms under the form of a fourth- and second-order derivative, respectively. An explicit four-stage Runge–Kutta integration algorithm is applied to obtain the steady-state condition. The computed results include the steady-state solution of flow past the NACA-hydrofoils and a circular cylinder in free stream, for which the numerical results are compared with numerical works of other researchers. Good agreement is observed. The effects of AC parameter, artificial viscosity and dissipation factor, and local preconditioning coefficient on convergence rate and solution accuracy are tested by computing flow over the NACA0012 hydrofoil. In addition, some important design criteria of a preconditioner, such as stiffness reduction, hyperbolicity, symmetrisability, accuracy preservation for M → 0, and M-property have been examined analytically.     

Unstructured pressure‐correction solver based on a consistent discretization of the Poisson equation

A finite volume incompressible flow solver is presented for three‐dimensional unsteady flows based on an unstructured tetrahedral mesh, with collocation of the flow variables at the cell vertices. The solver is based on the pressure‐correction method, with an explicit prediction step of the momentum equations followed by a Poisson equation for the correction step to enforce continuity. A consistent discretization of the Poisson equation was found to be essential in obtaining a solution. The correction step was solved with the biconjugate gradient stabilized (Bi‐CGSTAB) algorithm coupled with incomplete lower–upper (ILU) preconditioning. Artificial dissipation is used to prevent the formation of instabilities. Flow solutions are presented for a stalling airfoil, vortex shedding past a bridge deck and flow in model alveoli.

ITERATIVE SOLUTION OF INCOMPRESSIBLE NAVIER–STOKES EQUATIONS ON THE MEIKO COMPUTING SURFACE

The numerical discretization of the equations governing fluid flow results in coupled, quasi-linear and non-symmetric systems. Various approaches exist for resolving the non-linearity and couplings. During each non-linear iteration, nominally linear systems are solved for each of the flow variables. Line relaxation techniques are traditionally employed for solving these systems. However, they could be very expensive for realistic applications and present serious synchronization problems in a distributed memory parallel environment. In this paper the discrete linear systems are solved using the generalized conjugate gradient method of Concus and Golub. The performance of this algorithm is compared with the line Gauss–Seidel algorithm for laminar recirculatory flow in uni- and multiprocessor environments. The uniprocessor performances of these algorithms are also compared with that of a popular iterative solver for non-symmetric systems (the GMRES algorithm).     

Computations using the preconditioning BI-CGSTAB algorithm in chemical non-equilibrium problems

A robust method for solving the chemical non-equilibrium Navier–Stokes equations, including all of the species conservation and energy production equations, is developed. The algorithm is embodied in a fully coupled, implicit, large block structure. Van Leer flux splitting for inviscid terms and central differencing for viscous terms in the explicit operators are applied in the numerical algorithm. The fully-coupled system is solved implicitly and the bi-conjugate gradient stable (Bi-CGSTAB) method with a preconditioner of incomplete lower–upper (LU)-factorization (ILU) is used for solving large block structure and diagonal dominate matrix equations. The computations are performed for the hypersonic inflow over blunt bodies including half cylinder, double ellipse and blunt nose. The adaptive grid constructed by moving grid method is employed to capture the shock location. Computational results in the present study are compared with other calculated data and exhibit good agreement. Convergence histories of the mean flow variables and species equations demonstrate that the fast convergent rate can be achieved by the preconditioned Bi-CGSTAB method. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
