Finite element analysis of creeping flows using marker particles

The penalty function formulation of the finite element method is described for the analysis of transient incompressible creeping flows. Marker particles are utilized to represent moving free surfaces and to visualize the flow patterns. For determining the movement of markers from element to element, the area coordinate system of the linear triangular element is introduced. With the method presented, a punch indentation problem and an injection problem for an L-shaped cavity are solved for Newtonian and power-law fluids.     

二维位势边界元法高阶单元几乎奇异积分半解析算法

准确计算几乎奇异积分是边界元法难题之一。目前,对于一般的高阶单元的几乎奇异积分尚缺乏通用高效的计算方法。本文在单元局部坐标系中表征了二维高阶单元的几何特征,提出了源点相对高阶单元的接近度概念。针对二维位势边界元法的3节点二次等参单元,构造出与单元积分核具有相同几乎奇异性的近似奇异核函数。从二维位势几乎奇异积分单元积分核中扣除近似奇异核函数,把几乎奇异积分项转换为规则积分和奇异积分两部分之和,规则积分部分用常规Gauss数值积分计算,奇异积分部分由导出的解析公式计算,从而建立了二维位势问题高阶单元几乎强奇异和超奇异积分的半解析算法。算例结果表明了本文半解析算法的有效性和计算精度。
