一种基于增量径向基函数插值的流场重构方法

由于流场参数重构中, 用于重构的基网格单元的物理参数波动量相对于均值较小, 径向基函数（RBF） 直接插值方法重构会产生较大的数值振荡, 论文提出了一种增量RBF 插值方法, 并用于有限体积的流场重构步, 明显改善了插值格式的收敛性和稳定性. 算例首先通过简单的一维模型说明该方法的有效性, 当目标函数波动量相对于均值为小量时, 增量RBF 插值能够抑制数值振荡; 进一步通过二维亚音速、跨音速定常无黏算例、静止圆柱绕流非定常算例以及超音速前台阶算例来说明该方法在典型流场数值求解中的通用性和有效性. 研究表明增量RBF 重构方法可陡峭地捕捉激波间断, 可有效改善流场求解的收敛性和稳定性, 数值耗散小, 计算效率高.

A Control Volume Radial Basis Function Techniques for the Numerical Simulation of Saturated Flows in Semi-confined Aquifer

In this work, a Control Volume Radial Basis Function technique (CV-RBF) is adapted to solve ground water flow in the saturated zone of the semi-confined aquifer. The CV-RBF method differs from classical CV methods in the way that the flux at the cell surfaces is computed. A local RBF interpolation of the field variable is performed at the centres of the cell being integrated and its neighbours. This interpolation is then used to reconstruct the solution and its gradient in the integration points which support the flux computation. In addition, it is required that such interpolation satisfies the governing equation in a certain number of points placed around the cell centres. In this way, the local interpolations become equivalent to local boundary-value problems. The CV-RBF method is combined with a local remeshing technique in order to track the phreatic surface, where the gradients required to satisfy the kinematic condition are computed by the same local RBF interpolations used for the flux computation. The proposed numerical approach is validated in a series of three-dimensional groundwater flow problems where the operations of recharging and extracting water from a semi-confined aquifer are modelled.     

Walsh函数有限体积法的多重网格特征研究

Walsh函数有限体积法(FVM-WBF)是一种能够在网格内部捕捉间断的新型数值方法. 持续增加Walsh基函数数目能够稳步提高FVM-WBF方法的求解分辨率, 但计算量暴发式增长和收敛速度下降的问题也会同步出现. 针对Walsh基函数数目增加而引起的计算效率问题, 本文分析了Walsh基函数及其系数所能影响的网格单元局部均值区域尺度, 发现其中隐含类似多重网格的尺度特征, 据此提出一种结合多重网格策略的FVM-WBF方法. 在定常流场计算中根据各级Walsh基函数影响尺度的不同, 对每级Walsh基函数设置满足其稳定性约束的时间步长, 在时间推进求解的过程中快速消除不同波长的数值误差, 实现多重网格的加速收敛效果. 选取NACA0012翼型和二维圆柱的定常无黏绕流问题作为算例, 对引入多重网格策略的FVM-WBF方法和不考虑多重网格策略的FVM-WBF方法进行对比测试. 数值结果证实: 新发展的FVM-WBF方法具备多重网格的关键特征, 在不增加任何特殊处理和计算量的情况下, 只需通过时间步长的调整, 就能够达到多重网格的加速效果, 显著提升计算效率.

一类面向高阶精度自适应流动计算的流场插值方法

网格自适应技术和高阶精度数值方法是提升计算流体力学复杂问题适应能力的有效技术途径. 将这两项技术结合需要解决一系列技术难题, 其中之一是高阶精度流场插值. 针对高阶精度自适应流动计算, 提出一类高精度流场插值方法, 实现将前一迭代步网格中流场数值解插值到当前迭代步网格中, 以延续前一迭代步中的计算状态. 为实现流场插值过程中物理量守恒, 该方法先计算新旧网格的重叠区域, 然后将物理量从重叠区域的旧网格中转移到新网格中. 为满足高阶精度要求, 先采用k-exact最小二乘方法对旧网格上的数值解进行重构, 获得描述物理量分布的高阶多项式, 随后采用高阶精度高斯数值积分实现物理量精确地转移到新网格单元上. 最后, 通过一个具有精确解的数值算例和一个高阶精度自适应流动计算算例验证了本文算法的有效性. 第一个算例结果表明当网格规模固定不变时, 插值精度阶数越高, 插值误差越小; 第二个算例显示本文方法可以有效缩短高精度自适应流动计算的迭代收敛时间.

Mesh Deformation Method Based on Mean Value Coordinates Interpolation

Mesh deformation technique is widely used in many application fields, and has received a lot of attentions in recent years. This paper focuses on the methodology and algorithm of algebraic type mesh deformation for unstructured mesh in numerical discretization. To preserve mesh quality effectively, an algebraic approach for two and three dimensional unstructured mesh is developed based on mean value coordinates interpolation combined with node visibility analysis.The proposed approach firstly performs node visibility analysis to find out the visible boundary for each grid point to be moved, then evaluates the mean value coordinates of each grid point with respect to all vertices on its visible boundary. Thus the displacements of grid points can be calculated by interpolating the boundary movement by the mean value coordinates. Compared with other methods, the proposed method has good deformation capability and predictable computational cost, with no need to select parameters or functions. Applications of mesh deformation in different fields are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results of numerical experiments exhibit not only superior deformation capability of the method in traditional applications of fluid dynamic grid, but also great potential in modeling for large deformation analysis and inverse design problems.

Developing a physical influence upwind scheme for pressure-based cell-centered finite volume methods

In the framework of a cell-centered finite volume method (FVM), the advection scheme plays the most important role in developing FVMs to solve complicated fluid flow problems for a wide range of Reynolds numbers. Advection schemes have been widely developed for FVMs employing pressure-velocity coupling methodology in the incompressible flow limit. In this regard, the physical influence upwind scheme (PIS) is developed for a cell-centered finite volume coupled solver (FVCS) using a pressure-weighted interpolation method for linking the pressure and velocity fields. The well-known exponential differencing scheme and skew upwind differencing scheme are also deployed in the current FVCS and their numerical results are presented. The accuracy and convergence of the present PIS are evaluated solving flow in a lid-driven square cavity, a lid-driven skewed cavity, and over a backward-facing step (BFS). The flow within the lid-driven square cavity is numerically solved at Reynolds numbers from 400 to 10 000 on a relatively coarse mesh with respect to other reported solutions. The lid-driven skewed cavity test case at Reynolds number of 1000 demonstrates the numerical performance of the present PIS on nonorthogonal grids. The flow over a BFS at Reynolds number of 800 is numerically solved to examine capabilities of current FVCS employing the current PIS in inlet-outlet flow computations. The numerical results obtained by the current PIS are in excellent agreement with those of benchmark solutions of corresponding test cases. Incorporating implicit role of pressure terms in a pressure-weighted interpolation method and development of PIS provides satisfactory solution convergence alongside the numerical accuracy for the current FVCS. A particular numerical verification is performed for the V velocity calculation within the BFS flow field, which confirms the reliability of present PIS.     

Non‐intrusive reduced‐order modelling of the Navier–Stokes equations based on RBF interpolation

We present a new non‐intrusive model reduction method for the Navier–Stokes equations. The method replaces the traditional approach of projecting the equations onto the reduced space with a radial basis function (RBF) multi‐dimensional interpolation. The main point of this method is to construct a number of multi‐dimensional interpolation functions using the RBF scatter multi‐dimensional interpolation method. The interpolation functions are used to calculate POD coefficients at each time step from POD coefficients at earlier time steps. The advantage of this method is that it does not require modifications to the source code (which would otherwise be very cumbersome), as it is independent of the governing equations of the system. Another advantage of this method is that it avoids the stability problem of POD/Galerkin. The novelty of this work lies in the application of RBF interpolation and POD to construct the reduced‐order model for the Navier–Stokes equations. Another novelty is the verification and validation of numerical examples (a lock exchange problem and a flow past a cylinder problem) using unstructured adaptive finite element ocean model. The results obtained show that CPU times are reduced by several orders of magnitude whilst the accuracy is maintained in comparison with the corresponding high‐fidelity models.

A NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE FLOW OVER ELLIPSOIDAL OBJECTS INSIDE A CYLINDRICAL TUBE

A numerical scheme is developed to obtain the flow field around one, two and five ellipsoidal objects inside a cylindrical tube. The scheme uses the Galerkin finite element technique and the primitive variable(u–v–p) formulation. The two-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations are solved numerically by using the direct mixed interpolation method. A Picard iteration scheme is used for the solution of the resulting system of non-linear algebraic equations. The computer code is verified by checking with known analytical solutions for the flow past a sphere. Results for the shear stress distributions along the ellipsoids, forces and drag coefficients are obtained for different geometric ratios and Reynolds numbers. Some of the intermediate computational results on the velocity fields developed are also reported.

Augmenting the immersed boundary method with Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) for the modeling of platelets in hemodynamic flows

We present a new computational method by extending the immersed boundary (IB) method with a geometric model based on parametric radial basis function (RBF) interpolation of the Lagrangian structures. Our specific motivation is the modeling of platelets in hemodynamic flows, although we anticipate that our method will be useful in other applications involving surface elasticity. The efficacy of our new RBF‐IB method is shown through a series of numerical experiments. Specifically, we test the convergence of our method and compare our method with the traditional IB method in terms of computational cost, maximum stable time‐step size, and volume loss. We conclude that the RBF‐IB method has advantages over the traditional IB method and is well‐suited for modeling of platelets in hemodynamic flows. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Free surface Stokes flows obstructed by multiple obstacles

Gravity‐driven Stokes flow down an inclined plane over and around multiple obstacles is considered. The flow problem is formulated in terms of a boundary integral equation and solved using the boundary element method. A Hermitian radial basis function (RBF) is used for the interpolation of the free surface, generation of the unit normal and curvature, and to prescribe the far‐field conditions. For flow over an obstacle, hemispheres are taken. For flow around an obstacle, circular cylinders are modelled and the contact angle condition on the obstacle/free surface intersection specified using the RBF formulation. Explicit profiles are produced for flow over and around two obstacles placed in various locations relative to one another. Interaction due to two obstacles is given by comparisons made with the profiles for flow over and around individual obstacles. In general, when the obstacles are separated by a sufficiently large distance the flow profiles are identical to a single obstacle analysis. For flow over and around two obstacles in‐line with the incident flow, effects of the governing parameters are examined, with variations in plane inclination angle, Bond number, obstacle size, and in the case of obstacles intersecting the free surface, static contact angle is considered. Finally flows over and around three obstacles are modelled. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
