A finite element analysis of mach reflection by using the Boussinesq equation

The numerical analysis of ‘Mach reflection’, which is the reflection of an obliquely incident solitary wave by a vertical wall, is presented. For the mathematical model of the analysis, the two-dimensional Boussinesq equation is used. In order to solve the equation in space, the finite element method based on the linear triangular element and the conventional Galerkin method is applied. The combination of explicit and semi-implicit schemes is employed for the time integration. Moreover, one of the treatments for the open boundary condition, in which the analytical solution of the linearized Boussinesq equation in the outside domain is linked to the discrete values of velocity and water elevation in the inside domain, is applied for the modeling of the Mach reflection problem. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Local and parallel finite element algorithms based on two-grid discretization for steady Navier-Stokes equations

Local and parallel finite element algorithms based on two-grid discretization for Navier-Stokes equations in two dimension are presented. Its basis is a coarse finite element space on the global domain and a fine finite element space on the subdomain. The local algorithm consists of finding a solution for a given nonlinear problem in the coarse finite element space and a solution for a linear problem in the fine finite element space, then droping the coarse solution of the region near the boundary. By overlapping domain decomposition, the parallel algorithms are obtained. This paper analyzes the error of these algorithms and gets some error estimates which are better than those of the standard finite element method. The numerical experiments are given too. By analyzing and comparing these results, it is shown that these algorithms are correct and high efficient.

A new stable space–time formulation for two‐dimensional and three‐dimensional incompressible viscous flow

A space–time finite element method for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a bounded domain in ?^d (with d=2 or 3) is presented. The method is based on the time‐discontinuous Galerkin method with the use of simplex‐type meshes together with the requirement that the space–time finite element discretization for the velocity and the pressure satisfy the inf–sup stability condition of Brezzi and Babu?ka. The finite element discretization for the pressure consists of piecewise linear functions, while piecewise linear functions enriched with a bubble function are used for the velocity. The stability proof and numerical results for some two‐dimensional problems are presented. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Extension of domain‐free discretization method to simulate compressible flows over fixed and moving bodies

This paper is the first endeavour to present the local domain‐free discretization (DFD) method for the solution of compressible Navier–Stokes/Euler equations in conservative form. The discretization strategy of DFD is that for any complex geometry, there is no need to introduce coordinate transformation and the discrete form of governing equations at an interior point may involve some points outside the solution domain. The functional values at the exterior dependent points are updated at each time step to impose the wall boundary condition by the approximate form of solution near the boundary. Some points inside the solution domain are constructed for the approximate form of solution, and the flow variables at constructed points are evaluated by the linear interpolation on triangles. The numerical schemes used in DFD are the finite element Galerkin method for spatial discretization and the dual‐time scheme for temporal discretization. Some numerical results of compressible flows over fixed and moving bodies are presented to validate the local DFD method. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Acoustoelastic effect simulation by time–space finite element formulation based on quadratic interpolation of the acceleration

Acoustoelastic effect describes the change of ultrasound velocity due to the initial stress. Its simulation involves a numerical analysis of nonlinear elastodynamics and requires high accuracy in the time domain. A time–space finite element formulation, derived from the quadratic interpolation of the acceleration within a time segment, is proposed for an accurate simulation of the acoustoelastic effect in the present study. Ten different integration schemes are generated based on this formulation and nine of them are found to be conditionally stable. Among the nine stable schemes, one is found to obtain a spectral radius of one when the normalized step ratio is less than 5.477, indicating no numerical dissipation or numerical divergence. Compared with integration schemes from previous studies, this integration scheme demonstrates better performance in calculation accuracy and energy conservation. A two-stage approach, namely the static stage and the dynamic stage, has been employed in the simulation of the acoustoelastic effect. The former stage is adopted to obtain the initial stress and the latter stage, where the proposed integration scheme is implemented, is adopted to simulate the ultrasound propagation in an initial stress state. The simulation results of the dynamic stage show that the ultrasound velocity increases in a compression stress state and decreases in a tension stress state for aluminum alloy, which is in good agreement with previous experimental studies. Together with the simulation result of the static stage, it is conjectured that the acoustoelastic effect results from the stress-dependent elastic modulus.

Transient analysis of piles and pile groups in non-homogeneous soil

In this paper, the transient analysis of a single pile and a 3 × 3 pile group is presented for Gibson type non-homogeneous soil by using a hybrid type of boundary and finite element formulation for the soil domain and pile domain, respectively. The formula is presented for a transient point force acting in the interior of a non-homogeneous, isotropic half space. A time stepping boundary element algorithm for soil domain is used together with an implicit time integration scheme for finite pile domain. To investigate the validity of this formulation, a single pile and a pile group are analyzed under Heaviside loading and triangular transient loading. In the analyses, it can be concluded that the results agree well for all cases of the inhomogeneity index by comparing the Laplace domain solutions.

Accuracy and stability of a set of free‐surface time‐domain boundary element models based on B‐splines

An analysis is given for the accuracy and stability of some perturbation‐based time‐domain boundary element models (BEMs) with B‐spline basis functions, solving hydrodynamic free‐surface problems, including forward speed effects. The spatial convergence rate is found as a function of the order of the B‐spline basis. It is shown that for all the models examined the mixed implicit–explicit Euler time integration scheme is correct to second order. Stability diagrams are found for models based on B‐splines of orders third through to sixth for two different time integration schemes. The stability analysis can be regarded as an extension of the analysis by Vada and Nakos [Vada T, Nakos DE. Time marching schemes for ship motion simulations.

GURTIN VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE AND FINITE ELEMENT SIMULATION FOR DYNAMICAL PROBLEMS OF FLUID-SATURATED POROUS MEDIA

Based on the theory of porous media,a general Gurtin variational principle for theinitial boundary value problem of dynamical response of fluid-saturated elastic porous media isdeveloped by assuming infinitesimal deformation and incompressible constituents of the solid andfluid phase.The finite element formulation based on this variational principle is also derived.Asthe functional of the variational principle is a spatial integral of the convolution formulation,thegeneral finite element discretization in space results in symmetrical differential-integral equationsin the time domain.In some situations,the differential-integral equations can be reduced to sym-metrical differential equations and,as a numerical example,it is employed to analyze the reflectionof one-dimensional longitudinal wave in a fluid-saturated porous solid.The numerical results canprovide further understanding of the wave propagation in porous media.     

Synthesis of highly convergent 2D and 3D finite elements for short acoustic wave simulation

New higher-order finite elements of enhanced convergence properties for acoustic wave simulation are presented in the paper. The element matrices are obtained by combining modal synthesis and optimization techniques in order to achieve minimum errors of higher modes of the computational domain. As a result, simulation models of propagating wave pulses require a smaller number of finite element divisions per wavelength compared to the conventional element model thus significantly reducing computational costs. Though finite element matrices are obtained in optimization, the resulting patterns of the matrices are versatile and further can be used in any wave propagation model. The mass matrices of the elements are diagonal, so explicit time integration schemes are applicable. The usage of new elements is especially efficient in situations where wavelengths of the simulated signal are much shorter than the dimensions of the computational domain. This is referred to as short wave propagation analysis. The results of wave propagation simulation for ultrasonic measurements are presented as application examples. The B-scans and computed dispersion curves are provided for visual interpretation of the results.
