无粘可压缩流动的改进高精度方法

为更准确捕捉复杂流场的流动细节,通过对WENO格式的光滑因子进行改进,发展了一种新的五阶WENO格式。对三阶ENO格式进行加权可以得到五阶WENO格式,但是不同的加权处理,WENO格式在极值处保持加权基本无振荡的效果不同,本文构造了二阶精度的局部光滑因子,及不含一阶二阶导数的高阶全局光滑因子,从而实现WENO格式在极值处有五阶精度。基于改进五阶WENO格式,对一维对流方程、一维和二维可压缩无粘问题进行算例验证,并与传统WENO-JS格式和WENO-Z格式进行比较。计算结果表明,改进五阶WENO格式有较高的精度和收敛速度,有较低的数值耗散,能有效捕捉间断、激波和涡等复杂流动。     

Rotor wake capture improvement based on high-order spatially accurate schemes and chimera grids

A high-order upwind scheme has been developed to capture the vortex wake of a helicopter rotor in the hover based on chimera grids. In this paper, an improved fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme is adopted to interpolate the higher-order left and right states across a cell interface with the Roe Riemann solver updating inviscid flux, and is compared with the monotone upwind scheme for scalar conservation laws (MUSCL). For profitably capturing the wake and enforcing the period boundary condition, the computation regions of flows are discretized by using the structured chimera grids composed of a fine rotor grid and a cylindrical background grid. In the background grid, the mesh cells located in the wake regions are refined after the solution reaches the approximate convergence. Considering the interpolation characteristic of the WENO scheme, three layers of the hole boundary and the interpolation boundary are searched. The performance of the schemes is investigated in a transonic flow and a subsonic flow around the hovering rotor. The results reveal that the present approach has great capabilities in capturing the vortex wake with high resolution, and the WENO scheme has much lower numerical dissipation in comparison with the MUSCL scheme.

一类高效率高分辨率加映射的WENO格式及其在复杂流动问题数值模拟中的应用

由于映射操作会带来额外的计算时间消耗,传统加映射的WENO格式存在计算效率低的缺陷.为了提高传统加映射WENO格式的计算效率,通过利用标准符号函数的一种近似逼近函数构造出一族近似常值映射函数,本文提出了一种新的加映射WENO格式,称为WENO-ACM.新映射函数满足文献中已有WENOPM6格式映射函数的全部设计要求,其中WENO-PM6是一种为了克服经典WENO-M格式潜在的精度丢失缺陷而提出的格式.新格式保留了WENO-PM6在低耗散和高分辨率方面的优势,同时,显著的减少了每个时间步映射过程中的数学运算操作数,进而在计算效率方面获得了明显的提升.理论分析表明,新格式在即使包含临界点的光滑区域也能够获得最佳收敛精度.对近似色散关系的研究表明,新格式的频谱特性也得到了显著的提升.对大量标准测试算例进行了模拟计算,包括精度测试、激波管问题、激波-熵波相互作用、爆炸波相互碰撞、二维黎曼问题、双马赫反射、前台阶流动、瑞利-泰勒不稳定性和开尔文-亥姆霍兹不稳定性问题等.与广泛认可的WENO-JS, WENO-M, WENO-PM6格式综合比较发现,新提出的WENO-ACM格式在高效率、低数值耗散...     

Implementation of some higher-order convection schemes on non-uniform grids

A generalized formulation is applied to implement the quadratic upstream interpolation (QUICK) scheme, the second-order upwind (SOU) scheme and the second-order hybrid scheme (SHYBRID) on non-uniform grids. The implementation method is simple. The accuracy and efficiency of these higher-order schemes on non-uniform grids are assessed. Three well-known bench mark convection-diffusion problems and a fluid flow problem are revisited using non-uniform grids. These are: (1) transport of a scalar tracer by a uniform velocity field; (2) heat transport in a recirculating flow; (3) two-dimensional non-linear Burgers equations; and (4) a two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes flow which is similar to the classical lid-driven cavity flow. The known exact solutions of the last three problems make it possible to thoroughly evaluate accuracies of various uniform and non-uniform grids. Higher accuracy is obtained for fewer grid points on non-uniform grids. The order of accuracy of the examined schemes is maintained for some tested problems if the distribution of non-uniform grid points is properly chosen.     

L1-type smoothness indicators based weighted essentially nonoscillatory scheme for Hamilton-Jacobi equations

This article presents an improved fifth-order finite difference weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) scheme to solve Hamilton-Jacobi equations. A new type of nonlinear weights is introduced with the construction of local smoothness indicators on each local stencil that are measured with the help of generalized undivided differences in L¹-norm. A novel global smoothness measurement is also constructed with the help of local measurements from its linear combination. Numerical experiments are conducted in one- and two-dimensions to demonstrate the performance enhancement, resolution power, numerical accuracy for the proposed scheme, and compared it with the classical WENO scheme.     

A parameter-free ε-adaptive algorithm for improving weighted compact nonlinear schemes

In this paper, we propose a parameter-free algorithm to calculate ε, a parameter of small quantity initially introduced into the nonlinear weights of weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) scheme to avoid denominator becoming zero. The new algorithm, based on local smoothness indicators of fifth-order weighted compact nonlinear scheme (WCNS), is designed in a manner to adaptively increase ε in smooth areas to reduce numerical dissipation and obtain high-order accuracy, and decrease ε in discontinuous areas to increase numerical dissipation and suppress spurious numerical oscillations. We discuss the relation between critical points and discontinuities and illustrate that, when large gradient areas caused by high-order critical points are not well resolved with sufficiently small grid spacing, numerical oscillations arise. The new algorithm treats high-order critical points as discontinuities to suppress numerical oscillations. Canonical numerical tests are carried out, and computational results indicate that the new adaptive algorithm can help improve resolution of small scale flow structures, suppress numerical oscillations near discontinuities, and lessen susceptibility to flux functions and interpolation variables for fifth-order WCNS. The new adaptive algorithm can be conveniently generalized to WENO/WCNS with different orders.     

Study of the Spectral Difference Numerical Dissipation for Turbulent Flows Using Unstructured Grids

In this paper, the numerical dissipation properties of the Spectral Difference (SD) method are studied in the context of vortex dominated flows and wall-bounded turbulence, using uniform and distorted grids. First, the validity of using the SD numerical dissipation as the only source of subgrid dissipation (the so-called Implicit-LES approach) is assessed on regular grids using various polynomial degrees (namely, p = 3, p = 4, p = 5) for the Taylor-Green vortex flow configuration at R e = 5 000. It is shown that the levels of numerical dissipation greatly depend on the order of accuracy chosen and, in turn, lead to an incorrect estimation of the viscous dissipation levels. The influence of grid distortion on the numerical dissipation is then assessed in the context of finite Reynolds number freely-decaying and wall-bounded turbulence. Tests involving different amplitudes of distortion show that highly skewed grids lead to the presence of small-scale, noisy structures, emphasizing the need of explicit subgrid modeling or regularization procedures when considering coarse, high-order SD computations on unstructured grids. Under-resolved, high-order computations of the turbulent channel flow at R e _τ = 1000 using highly-skewed grids are considered as well and present a qualitatively similar agreement to results obtained on a regular grid.

Hermite WENO-based limiters for high order discontinuous Galerkin method on unstructured grids

A novel class of weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) schemes based on Hermite polynomials,termed as HWENO schemes,is developed and applied as limiters for high order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method on triangular grids.The developed HWENO methodology utilizes high-order derivative information to keep WENO reconstruction stencils in the von Neumann neighborhood.A simple and efficient technique is also proposed to enhance the smoothness of the existing stencils,making higher-order scheme stable and simplifying the reconstruction process at the same time.The resulting HWENO-based limiters are as compact as the underlying DG schemes and therefore easy to implement.Numerical results for a wide range of flow conditions demonstrate that for DG schemes of up to fourth order of accuracy,the designed HWENO limiters can simultaneously obtain uniform high order accuracy and sharp,essentially non-oscillatory shock transition.     

Improvement of boundary conditions for non-planar boundaries represented by polygons with an initial particle arrangement technique

The boundary conditions represented by polygons in moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method (Koshizuka and Oka, Nuclear Science and Engineering, 1996 Koshizuka, S., and Y. Oka. 1996. “Moving-Particle Semi-Implicit Method for Fragmentation of Incompressible Fluid.” Nuclear Science and Engineering 123: 421–434.[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) have been widely used in the industry simulations since it can simply simulate complex geometry with high efficiency. However, the inaccurate particle number density near non-planar wall boundaries dramatically affects the accuracy of simulations. In this paper, we propose an initial boundary particle arrangement technique coupled with the wall weight function method (Zhang et al. Transaction of JSCES, 2015 Zhang, T.G., S. Koshizuka, K. Shibata, K. Murotani, and E. Ishii. 2015. “Improved Wall Weight Function With Polygon Boundary in Moving Particle Semi-Implicit Method.” Transaction of JSCES. No. 20150012. [Google Scholar]) to improve the particle number density near slopes and curved surfaces with boundary conditions represented by polygons in three dimensions. Two uniform grids are utilized in the proposed technique. The grid points in the first uniform grid are used to construct boundary particles, and the second uniform grid stores the same information as in the work by Zhang et al. The wall weight functions of the grid points in the second uniform grid are calculated by newly constructed boundary particles. The wall weight functions of the fluid particles are interpolated from the values stored on the grid points in the second uniform grid. Because boundary particles are located on the polygons, complex geometries can be accurately represented. The proposed method can dramatically improve the particle number density and maintain the high efficiency. The performance of the previously proposed wall weight function (Zhang et al.) with the boundary particle arrangement technique is verified in comparison with the wall weight function without boundary particle arrangement by investigating two example geometries. The simulations of a water tank with a wedge and a complex geometry show the general applicability of the boundary particle arrangement technique to complex geometries and demonstrate its improvement of the wall weight function near the slopes and curved surfaces.     

Chebyshev finite spectral method with extended moving grids

A Chebyshev finite spectral method on non-uniform meshes is proposed. An equidistribution scheme for two types of extended moving grids is used to generate grids. One type is designed to provide better resolution for the wave surface, and the other type is for highly variable gradients. The method has high-order accuracy because of the use of the Chebyshev polynomial as the basis function. The polynomial is used to interpolate the values between the two non-uniform meshes from a previous time step to the current time step. To attain high accuracy in the time discretization, the fourth-order Adams-Bashforth-Moulton predictor and corrector scheme is used. To avoid numerical oscillations caused by the dispersion term in the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, a numerical technique on non-uniform meshes is introduced. The proposed numerical scheme is validated by the applications to the Burgers equation (nonlinear convectiondiffusion problems) and the KdV equation (single solitary and 2-solitary wave problems), where analytical solutions are available for comparisons. Numerical results agree very well with the corresponding analytical solutions in all cases.     

Mixed convection film condensation from downward flowing vapors onto a sphere with variable wall temperature

A model is developed for the study of mixed- convection film condensation from downward flowing vapors onto a sphere with variable wall temperature. The model combined natural convection dominated and forced convection dominated film condensation, concerning effects of pressure gradient (P), interfacial vapor shear drag and non-uniform wall temperature variation (A), has been investigated and solved numerically. The effect of pressure gradient on the dimensionless mean heat transfer, NuˉRe^−1/2 will remain almost uniform with increasing P until for various corresponding available values of F. Meanwhile, the dimensionless mean heat transfer, NuˉRe^−1/2 is increasing significantly with F for its corresponding available values of P. Although the non-uniform wall temperature variation has an appreciable influence on the local film flow and heat transfer; however, the dependence of mean heat transfer on A can be almost negligible.

Third-order modified coefficient scheme based on essentially non-oscillatory scheme

A third-order numerical scheme is presented to give approximate solutions to multi-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws only using modified coefficients of an essentially non-oscillatory （MCENO） scheme without increasing the base points during construction of the scheme. The construction process shows that the modified coefficient approach preserves favourable properties inherent in the original essentially nonoscillatory （ENO） scheme for its essential non-oscillation, total variation bounded （TVB）, etc. The new scheme improves accuracy by one order compared to the original one. The proposed MCENO scheme is applied to simulate two-dimensional Rayleigh-Taylor （RT） instability with densities 1：3 and 1：100, and solve the Lax shock-wave tube numerically. The ratio of CPU time used to implement MCENO, the .third-order ENO and fifth-order weighed ENO （WENO） schemes is 0.62：1：2.19. This indicates that MCENO improves accuracy in smooth regions and has higher accuracy and better efficiency compared to the original ENO scheme.     

A modified adaptive grid method for recirculating flows

In this study a method of equidistribution of a weight function for grid adaption is modified to produce a smoother grid which yields a more accurate solution. In the original scheme the weight function was estimated on each grid independently and a large variation in the values of the, weight function could generate a highly skewed and non-uniform grid which produced large errors. In this study the weight function is smoothed by coupling neighbouring weight functions. Abrupt changes in the weight function are alleviated and a smoother grid distribution is obtained. With relatively minor modifications of the original weight function it is demonstrated in this study that the solution can be improved. The test cases presented are the one-dimensional convection-diffusion equation, a laminar polar cavity flow, a laminar backwardfacing step flow and a turbulent reacting sudden expansion pipe flow. Numerical efficiencies ranging from factors of five to 10 are achieved over uniform grid methods.     

Reynolds Number Effect on the Grid Turbulence Degeneration Law

A comprehensive experimental investigation of the effect of the Reynolds number on the degeneration law for turbulence generated by biplanar and wicker grids is carried out over a wide range of the grid geometry parameters and the flow velocity. It is established that an increase in the flow velocity leads to an increase in the turbulence intensity at a given distance from the biplanar grid and a decrease in the turbulence decay rate downstream of the grid. An empirical relation between the turbulence intensity behind the grid, on the one hand, and the relative distance x/M from the grid and the Reynolds number based on the grid rod diameter and the flow velocity at the grid mesh center, on the other hand, is proposed. For the same relative distance x/M from the grid the intensity of wicker-grid turbulence is higher than in the case of the flow past a biplanar grid.     

Improved third‐order weighted essentially nonoscillatory scheme

A new third‐order WENO scheme is proposed to achieve the desired order of convergence at the critical points for scalar hyperbolic equations. A new reference smoothness indicator is introduced, which satisfies the sufficient condition on the weights for the third‐order convergence. Following the truncation error analysis, we have shown that the proposed scheme achieves the desired order accurate for smooth solutions with arbitrary number of vanishing derivatives if the parameter ε satisfies certain conditions. We have made a comparative study of the proposed scheme with the existing schemes such as WENO‐JS, WENO‐Z, and WENO‐N3 through different numerical examples. The result shows that the proposed scheme (WENO‐MN3) achieves better performance than these schemes.     

Direct numerical simulation of the interaction of isotropic turbulence with a shock wave using shock-fitting

The interaction of three-dimensional isotropic turbulence with a plane shock at Mach numbers of $M=2.0$ and $M=3.0$ is investigated via direct numerical simulation. The numerical scheme is based on a characteristic-type formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations and uses fifth-order upwind schemes in space, a fourth order Runge Kutta scheme in time and a shock-fitting as inlet condition. The isotropic turbulence was generated in a separate computation based on a prescribed energy spectrum. This turbulent flow is considered as frozen, and is convected through the shock with a prescribed average shock speed. An FFT interpolation is used to obtain the upstream values at the instantaneous shock location. Turbulence enhancement is observed, and the evolution of velocity fluctuations as well as turbulence microscales are in good agreement with the behaviour observed using shock-capturing.
