A third-order compact nonlinear scheme for compressible flow simulations

Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations based on second-order numerical methods are widely used by commercial codes and work as dominating tools for most industrial applications. They, however, suffer from limitations in accurate and reliable predictions of skin-friction drag and aerodynamic heating, as well as in simulations of complex flows such as large-scale separation and transition. A remedy for this is the development of high-order schemes, by which numerically induced dissipation and dispersion errors of low-order schemes can be effectively reduced. Weighted compact nonlinear schemes (WCNSs) are a family of high-resolution nonlinear shock-capturing methods. A stencil-selection procedure is introduced in the proposed work with an aim to improve the nonlinear weight of the third-order WCNS. By using the approximate dispersion relation analysis, it is demonstrated that the new scheme has reduced dissipation and dispersion errors, compared with WCNSs using two typical nonlinear weights. Improvements are also achieved by the new scheme in numerical tests such as the double Mach reflection problem and the Rayleigh-Taylor instability simulation, which are characterized by strong shock discontinuities and rich small scales, respectively. The new scheme is therefore highly favored in the simulation of flow problems involving strong discontinuities and multiscales phenomena.     

The numerical solution of the transient two‐phase flow in rigid pipelines

Consideration is given in this paper to the numerical solution of the transient two‐phase flow in rigid pipelines. The governing equations for such flows are two coupled, non‐linear, hyperbolic, partial differential equations with pressure dependent coefficients. The fluid pressure and velocity are considered as two principle dependent variables. The fluid is a homogeneous gas–liquid mixture for which the density is defined by an expression averaging the two‐component densities where a polytropic process of the gaseous phase is admitted. Instead of the void fraction, which varies with the pressure, the gas–fluid mass ratio (or the quality) is assumed to be constant, and is used in the mathematical formulation. The problem has been solved by the method of non‐linear characteristics and the finite difference conservative scheme. To verify their validity, the computed results of the two numerical techniques are compared for different values of the quality, in the case where the liquid compressibility and the pipe wall elasticity are neglected.

A study on numerical methods for transient rotating flow induced by starting blades

Based on the finite volume method, three methods for rotational region treatment were presented and validated by simulating two-dimensional accelerating rotational flows. Separate transient incompressible flows induced by cross-shaped blades during starting process were simulated using the dynamic mesh, sliding mesh and dynamic reference frame methods. The computing performance and stability of the three methods were evaluated by comparing numerical results, and the transient characteristics of the accelerating rotational flow were analysed numerically. Results showed that the starting process affected the flow structure and transient characteristics of the accelerating rotational flows. The sliding mesh method showed higher computational efficiency and accuracy compared with other methods, and could easily be extended to solve three-dimensional transient flows in hydraulic machineries under transient operations, such as start-up and shutdown.     

Optimal transient growth in turbulent pipe flow

The optimal transient growth process of perturbations driven by the pressure gradient is studied in a turbulent pipe flow. A new computational method is proposed, based on the projection operators which project the governing equations onto the subspace spanned by the radial vorticity and radial velocity. The method is validated by comparing with the previous studies. Two peaks of the maximum transient growth amplification curve are found at different Reynolds numbers ranging from 20 000 to 250 000. The optimal flow structures are obtained and compared with the experiments and DNS results. The location of the outer peak is at the azimuthal wave number n=1, while the location of the inner peak is varying with the Reynolds number. It is observed that the velocity streaks in the buffer layer with a spacing of 100δ_v are the most amplified flow structures. Finally, we consider the optimal transient growth time and its dependence on the azimuthal wave length. It shows a self-similar behavior for perturbations of different scales in the optimal transient growth process.     

Efficient simulation of multidimensional continuum and non-continuum flows by a parallelised unified gas kinetic scheme solver

We develop an efficient, parallel, gas-kinetic solver for computing both continuum and non-continuum flows over non-Cartesian geometries by utilising the unified gas kinetic scheme (UGKS). UGKS, however, requires the computationally expensive update of a six-dimensional phase space at each time step restricting its application to canonical, laminar problems and simple geometries. In this paper, we demonstrate that the applications of UGKS can be increased by parallelising it and combining it with a recently developed, Cartesian grid method (UGKS-CGM). We demonstrate that our Cartesian grid methodology as well as UGKS parallelization perform and scale well on a range of numerical test cases even for a very large number of cores. Finally, we demonstrate that the solver accurately computes canonical turbulence at low Knudsen numbers. These results demonstrate that the parallelised UGKS code can be utilised to effectively study the non-equilibrium effects of rarefaction on laminar and turbulent non-continuum flows.     

2D shallow water flow model for the hydraulic jump

A flow model is presented for predicting a hydraulic jump in a straight open channel. The model is based on the general 2D shallow water equations in strong conservation form, without artificial viscosity, which is usually incorporated into the flow equations to capture a hydraulic jump. The equations are discretised using the finite volume method. The results are compared with experimental data and available numerical results, and have shown that the present model can provide good results. The model is simple and easy to implement. To demonstrate the potential application of the model, several hydraulic jumps occurring in different situations are simulated, and the predictions are in good agreement with standard solution for open channel hydraulics.

Numerical approximation of a degenerated non‐conservative multifluid model: relaxation scheme

The present work is devoted to the numerical approximation of a system which arises when modelling a two‐phase flow in a pipeline. Two particular difficulties are of special interest, the non‐conservativity and the weakly hyperbolicity of this system. Some elementary waves are characterized and a relaxation system, unconditionally hyperbolic, is proposed. The stability criteria of the resulting relaxation method are achieved by a Chapmann–Enskog‐like expansion. A numerical scheme based on the relaxation system is proposed and computations are performed on a shock tube. Validation is performed by comparison with the exact solution and also to the solution from a modified HLL scheme. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

An implementation of the Spalart–Allmaras DES model in an implicit unstructured hybrid finite volume/element solver for incompressible turbulent flow

In this paper, we describe an implicit hybrid finite volume (FV)/element (FE) incompressible Navier–Stokes solver for turbulent flows based on the Spalart–Allmaras detached eddy simulation (SA‐DES). The hybrid FV/FE solver is based on the segregated pressure correction or projection method. The intermediate velocity field is first obtained by solving the original momentum equations with the matrix‐free implicit cell‐centered FV method. The pressure Poisson equation is solved by the node‐based Galerkin FE method for an auxiliary variable. The auxiliary variable is closely related to the real pressure and is used to update the velocity field and the pressure field. We store the velocity components at cell centers and the auxiliary variable at vertices, making the current solver a staggered‐mesh scheme. The SA‐DES turbulence equation is solved after the velocity and the pressure fields have been updated at the end of each time step. The same matrix‐free FV method as the one used for momentum equations is used to solve the turbulence equation. The turbulence equation provides the eddy viscosity, which is added to the molecular viscosity when solving the momentum equation. In our implementation, we focus on the accuracy, efficiency and robustness of the SA‐DES model in a hybrid flow solver. This paper will address important implementation issues for high‐Reynolds number flows where highly stretched elements are typically used. In addition, some aspects of implementing the SA‐DES model will be described to ensure the robustness of the turbulence model. Several numerical examples including a turbulent flow past a flat plate and a high‐Reynolds number flow around a high angle‐of‐attack NACA0015 airfoil will be presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of our current implementation.

Local block refinement with a multigrid flow solver

A local block refinement procedure for the efficient computation of transient incompressible flows with heat transfer is presented. The procedure uses patched structured grids for the blockwise refinement and a parallel multigrid finite volume method with colocated primitive variables to solve the Navier‐Stokes equations. No restriction is imposed on the value of the refinement rate and non‐integer rates may also be used. The procedure is analysed with respect to its sensitivity to the refinement rate and to the corresponding accuracy. Several applications exemplify the advantages of the method in comparison with a common block structured grid approach. The results show that it is possible to achieve an improvement in accuracy with simultaneous significant savings in computing time and memory requirements. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
