一类新的差分格式优化目标函数

对差分格式进行优化处理可以提高其谱精度。与高精度(指Taylor展开精度)格式相比,优化格式放大因子的误差随波数的变化不是单调的,而是必然会出现极值点,这样就存在临界距离R_cr,在此距离内优化格式描述的数值波的积累误差小于高精度格式,而超出此距离后优化格式的误差反而大,对于非定常流及气动声学计算来说,控制差分格式的临界距离是必要的。一般的优化目标函数以每个时间推进步的误差为基础(即放大因子法),R_cr不能在优化过程中确定。对此进行分析,指出积累误差的重要性并提出以此为基础的新的优化目标函数,这样在对格式进行优化时可以直接指定临界距离,从而为控制谱精度提供方便。     

一种混合优化差分格式

优化差分格式一般用于计算气动声学和小尺度的湍流数值模拟,这类格式为了获取更好的短波分辨率通常牺牲了部分收敛精度.文章尝试结合最高阶精度格式与优化格式的特点,构造混合优化格式,提高优化格式的收敛精度以及谱分辨率.混合优化格式由模板上的最高阶精度格式与优化格式加权组合得到,权系数由当前模板上的值确定,这使得该格式为非线性格式.对于单色波问题,通过优化权的设计可大幅度减小相位误差.但是加权混合过程使得计算时间有所增加.数值计算证明了该格式的特点.

A BGK model for small Prandtl number in the Navier-Stokes approximation

We present a BGK-type collision model which approximates, by a Chapman-Enskog expansion, the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a Prandtl number that can be chosen arbitrarily between 0 and 1. This model has the basic properties of the Boltzmann equation, including theH-theorem, but contains an extra parameter in comparison with the standard BGK model. This parameter is introduced multiplying the collision operator by a nonlinear functional of the distribution function. It is adjusted to the Prandtl number.     

A Discontinuous Galerkin Method Based on a BGK Scheme for the Navier-Stokes Equations on Arbitrary Grids

A discontinuous Galerkin Method based on a Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) formulation is presented for the solution of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations on arbitrary grids. The idea behind this approach is to combine the robustness of the BGK scheme with the accuracy of the DG methods in an effort to develop a more accurate, efficient, and robust method for numerical simulations of viscous flows in a wide range of flow regimes. Unlike the traditional discontinuous Galerkin methods, where a Local Discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) formulation is usually used to discretize the viscous fluxes in the Navier-Stokes equations, this DG method uses a BGK scheme to compute the fluxes which not only couples the convective and dissipative terms together, but also includes both discontinuous and continuous representation in the flux evaluation at a cell interface through a simple hybrid gas distribution function. The developed method is used to compute a variety of viscous flow problems on arbitrary grids. The numerical results obtained by this BGKDG method are extremely promising and encouraging in terms of both accuracy and robustness, indicating its ability and potential to become not just a competitive but simply a superior approach than the current available numerical methods.     

Application of a Gas-Kinetic BGK Scheme in Thermal Protection System Analysis for Hypersonic Vehicles

One major problem in the development of hypersonic vehicles is severe aerodynamic heating; thus, the implementation of a thermal protection system is required. A numerical investigation on the reduction of aerodynamic heating using different thermal protection systems is conducted using a novel gas-kinetic BGK scheme. This method adopts a different solution strategy from the conventional computational fluid dynamics technique, and has shown a lot of benefits in the simulation of hypersonic flows. To be specific, it is established based on solving the Boltzmann equation, and the obtained gas distribution function is used to reconstruct the macroscopic solution of the flow field. Within the finite volume framework, the present BGK scheme is specially designed for the evaluation of numerical fluxes across the cell interface. Two typical thermal protection systems are investigated by using spikes and opposing jets, separately. Both their effectiveness and mechanisms to protect the body surface from heating are analyzed. The predicted distributions of pressure and heat flux, and the unique flow characteristics brought by spikes of different shapes or opposing jets of different total pressure ratios all verify the reliability and accuracy of the BGK scheme in the thermal protection system analysis.     

An improved gas-kinetic BGK finite-volume method for three-dimensional transonic flow

During the past decade gas-kinetic methods based on the BGK simplification of the Boltzmann equation have been employed to compute fluid flow in a finite-difference or finite-volume context. Among the most successful formulations is the finite-volume scheme proposed by Xu [K. Xu, A gas-kinetic BGK scheme for the Navier–Stokes equations and its connection with artificial dissipation and Godunov method, J. Comput. Phys. 171 (48) (2001) 289–335]. In this paper we build on this theoretical framework mainly with the aim to improve the efficiency and convergence of the scheme, and extend the range of application to three-dimensional complex geometries using general unstructured meshes. To that end we propose a modified BGK finite-volume scheme, which significantly reduces the computational cost, and improves the behavior on stretched unstructured meshes. Furthermore, a modified data reconstruction procedure is presented to remove the known problem that the Chapman–Enskog expansion of the BGK equation fixes the Prandtl number at unity. The new Prandtl number correction operates at the level of the partial differential equations and is also significantly cheaper for general formulations than previously published methods. We address the issue of convergence acceleration by applying multigrid techniques to the kinetic discretization. The proposed modifications and convergence acceleration help make large-scale computations feasible at a cost competitive with conventional discretization techniques, while still exploiting the advantages of the gas-kinetic discretization, such as computing full viscous fluxes for finite volume schemes on a simple two-point stencil.     

A Discrete Effect of the Thermal Lattice BGK Model

In this article, a discrete effect in the thermal Lattice BGK two-speed model is studied. These effects are due to the non-equilibrium state in the particle distribution function, and the non-equilibrium occurs near walls. The mechanism of the LBM counterpart of the thermal creep flow, which appears due to the temperature gradient of the boundary in rarefied gases, is clarified analytically and numerical calculations are performed for some cases. A technique for eliminating this effect is also shown.     

Heat transfer in lattice BGK modeled fluid

The thermal lattice BGK model is a recently suggested numerical tool aiming at solving problems of thermohydrodynamics. The quality of the lattice BGK simulation is checked in this paper by calculating temperature profiles in the Couette flow under different Eckert and Mach numbers. A revised lower order model is proposed to improve the accuracy and the higher order model is proved to be advantageous in this respect, especially in the flow regime with a higher Mach number.     

A NEW DIFFERENCE SCHEME WITH MULTI-TIME LEVELS

In view of making the best use of information coming from past observational data, a new difference scheme with multi-time levels (p>3) is suggested. Some mathematical characteristics of the scheme, which is called the retrospective scheme, are discussed. The numerical results of some examples show that the calculation accuracy of linear and nonlinear advection equations computed with the retrospective scheme is higher than that obtained via the leapfrog scheme. The scheme can be applied to many fields, such as meteorology, engineering physics, astronautics, environment and economy etc, where systematic observations are made normally.     

A unified incompressible lattice BGK model and its application to three-dimensional lid-driven cavity flow

A unified lattice Bhatnagar－Gross－Krook (ILBGK) model iDdQq for the incompressible Navier－Stokes equation is presented. To test its efficiency, the lid-driven cavity flow in three-dimensional space for Reynolds number Re=3200 and span aspect ratio SAR=1, 2 and 3 is simulated in detail on a 48×48×(48×SAR) uniform lattice using the model. The test results agree well with those in previous experiments and numerical works and show the efficiency and strong numerical stability of the proposed ILBGK model.
