利用无网格伽辽金法分析材料稳态蠕变问题

稳态蠕变是高温环境下材料的一个重要的考虑问题,它也是材料破坏的一种重要形式。由于存在划分网格,利用传统有限元法模拟稳态蠕变有一定的不足之处。作为一种新兴的数值模拟方法,无网格法不需要划分单元,只需将求解问题离散成独立的结点,计算过程可以局部细化。利用连续介质的虚功原理,将无网格伽辽金法应用于稳态蠕变的数值模拟,推导了稳态蠕变的无网格伽辽金法控制方程。利用罚参数来实现稳态蠕变的不可压缩条件和本质边界条件,能够保证求解过程中刚度矩阵的对称正定性。通过实例的计算结果表明,无网格伽辽金法在求解稳态蠕变时具有较高的计算精度,结果与理论解结果吻合,而且前后处理较为简单。

A comparative study of lattice Boltzmann methods using bounce‐back schemes and immersed boundary ones for flow acoustic problems

In order to find applicable treatments of moving boundary conditions based on the lattice Boltzmann method in flow acoustic problems, three bounce‐back (BB) methods and four kinds of immersed boundary (IB) methods are compared. We focused on fluid–solid boundary conditions for flow acoustic problems especially the simulations of sound waves from moving boundaries. BB methods include link bounce‐back, interpolation bounce‐back and unified interpolation bounce‐back methods. Five IB methods are explicit and implicit direct‐forcing (Explicit‐IB and Implicit‐IB), two kinds of partially saturated computational methods and ghost fluid method. In order to reduce the spurious pressure generated by the fresh grid node changing from solid domain to fluid domain for BB methods and sharp IB methods, we proposed two new kinds of treatments and compared them with two existing ones. Simulations of the benchmark problems prove that the local evolutionary iteration (LI) is the best one in treatments of the fresh nodes. In addition, for standing boundary problems, although BB methods have a little higher accuracy, all the methods have similar accuracy. However, for moving boundary problems, IB methods are more appropriate than BB methods, because IB methods' smooth interpolation of pressure eld produces less disturbing spurious pressure waves. With improved treatments of fresh nodes, BB methods are also acceptable for moving boundary acoustic problems. In comparative tests in respective type, unified interpolation bounce‐back with LI, Implicit‐IB, and ghost fluid with LI are the best choices. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Integral vorticity transport method on an overset grid

We present an overset grid method for solution of the integro‐differential vorticity–velocity formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations for two‐dimensional, incompressible flow. The method uses a body‐fitted inner grid, on which vorticity is evolved semi‐implicitly, and a Cartesian outer grid with explicit vorticity evolution. The Biot–Savart integral is solved using an adaptive, optimized multipole acceleration method. The Biot–Savart integration is performed over all inner grid cells, over all ‘active cells’ of the outer grid that lie entirely outside of the inner grid, and over sub‐elements of a set of ‘overhanging’ cells of the outer grid that overlap part of the inner grid. A novel method is developed using a level‐set distance function to rapidly and easily partition the overhanging grid cells, which is essential for the Biot–Savart integration in order to avoid double‐counting vorticity in the overhanging region. A similar decomposition into outer, inner and overhanging cells is used in solving for pressure using a boundary‐element formulation, which requires evaluation of an integral over the vorticity field using a method similar to that used for the Biot–Savart integral. The new overset grid method is applied to flow past stationary and moving bodies in two dimensions and found to agree well with prior experimental and numerical results.

Interpolated characteristic interface conditions for zonal grid refinement of high-order multi-block computations

When numerically calculating fluid flows around complex geometries using the high-order finite-difference method on structured grids, grid singularities are frequently observed, even if the grids are carefully generated. In multi-block computations with the generalised characteristic interface conditions (GCIC), decomposed subdomains (blocks) do not overlap but are connected by the inviscid characteristic relations. In the original theory of the GCIC, discontinuity of the metrics on the interface can be accurately treated; however, discontinuity of the grid lines on the interface is not allowed. This article proposes a theoretical extension to the GCIC by incorporating high-order interpolation methods; this extension is called GCIC with interpolation (GCIC + I). The basic concept and solution procedure of the multi-block computation with the GCIC + I are presented in detail, and two benchmark tests are conducted to validate the proposed theory.     

流固耦合不可压物质点法及其在晃动问题中的应用

作为一种混合拉格朗日欧拉法,物质点法在流固耦合问题中具有重要的应用前景。对于自由液面的流动问题,基于物质点法框架已建立了弱可压物质点法和完全不可压物质点法,但在处理流固耦合问题时遇到了困难。弱可压物质点法由于采用可压缩状态方程,导致求解时间步长过小,压力振荡严重,产生了非物理的飞溅现象;完全不可压物质点法基于投影算法和不可压条件,消除了弱可压物质点法的压力振荡,提高了时间步长,但难以处理移动边界问题。基于变分形式的投影算法提出了一种新型流固耦合不可压物质点法,得到了体积加权的压力泊松方程PPE(Pressure Poisson Equation),解决了完全不可压物质点法无法处理不规则边界和移动边界的问题。采用流固耦合不可压物质点法研究了运动刚体容器中的液体晃动问题,并与已有实验和数值结果进行对比,验证了算法的正确性和精度。     

Overlapping grids and multigrid methods for three-dimensional unsteady flow calculations in IC engines

A new computational methodology with emphasis on using an overlapping grid technique and a multigrid method has been developed. The main feature of the present overlapping-grid system is of extended flexibility to deal with three-dimensional complex multicomponent geometries. The multigrid method is incorporated into this technique to accelerate the convergence of the numerical solution. The current scheme has been applied for computations of the laminar flows in the multicomponent configuration of internal combusion engines. The flow is governed by three-dimensional, time-dependent, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with the continuity equation. A time-independent grid system is constructed for the moving boundary, i.e. the moving piston in the engine. This grid system is entirely different from others for the same problem in previous works. The performance of the present method has been validated by comparing the results with those from an equivalent, single-grid method and those from experiments. In addition, the flexibility and potential of the method has been demonstrated by calculating several cases which would be very difficult to be handled by other schemes.     

An adaptive moving finite element method for steady low Mach number compressible combustion problems

This work surveys an r-adaptive moving mesh finite element method for the numerical solution of premixed laminar flame problems. Since the model of chemically reacting flow involves many different modes with diverse length scales, the computation of such a problem is often extremely time-consuming. Importantly, to capture the significant characteristics of the flame structure when using detailed chemistry, a much more stringent requirement on the spatial resolution of the interior layers of some intermediate species is necessary. Here, we propose a moving mesh method in which the mesh is obtained from the solution of so-called moving mesh partial differential equations. Such equations result from the variational formulation of a minimization problem for a given target functional that characterizes the inherent difficulty in the numerical approximation of the underlying physical equations. Adaptive mesh movement has emerged as an area of intense research in mesh adaptation in the last decade. With this approach, points are only allowed to be shifted in space leaving the topology of the grid unchanged. In contrast to methods with local refinement, data structure hence is unchanged and load balancing is not an issue as grid points remain on the processor where they are. We will demonstrate the high potential of moving mesh methods for effectively optimizing the distribution of grid points to reach the required resolution for chemically reacting flows with extremely thin boundary layers.     

Application of hybrid Cartesian grid and gridless approach to moving boundary flow problems

The paper presents a hybrid Cartesian grid and gridless approach to solve unsteady moving boundary flow problems. Unlike the Chimera clouds of points approach, the hybrid approach uses a Cartesian grid to cover most of the computational domain and a gridless method to calculate a relatively small region adjacent to the body surface, making use of the flexibility of the gridless method in handling surface grid with complicated geometry and the computational efficiency of the Cartesian grid. Four cases were conducted to examine the applicability, accuracy and robustness of the hybrid approach. Steady flows over a single NACA0012 airfoil and dual NACA0012 airfoils at different Mach numbers and angles of attack were simulated. Moreover, by implementing a dynamic hole cutting, node identification and information communication between the Cartesian grid and the gridless regions, unsteady flows over a pitching NACA0012 airfoil (small displacement) and two‐dimensional airfoil/store separation (large displacement) were performed. The computational results were found to agree well with earlier experimental data as well as computational results. Shock waves were accurately captured. The computational results show that the hybrid approach is of potential to solve the moving boundary flow problems. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
