Two‐level Newton iterative method for the 2D/3D steady Navier‐Stokes equations

A combination method of the Newton iteration and two‐level finite element algorithm is applied for solving numerically the steady Navier‐Stokes equations under the strong uniqueness condition. This algorithm is motivated by applying the m Newton iterations for solving the Navier‐Stokes problem on a coarse grid and computing the Stokes problem on a fine grid. Then, the uniform stability and convergence with respect to ν of the two‐level Newton iterative solution are analyzed for the large m and small H and h << H. Finally, some numerical tests are made to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2012     

A class of hemivariational inequalities for nonstationary Navier–Stokes equations

This paper is devoted to the study of a class of hemivariational inequalities for the time-dependent Navier–Stokes equations, including both boundary hemivariational inequalities and domain hemivariational inequalities. The hemivariational inequalities are analyzed in the framework of an abstract hemivariational inequality. Solution existence for the abstract hemivariational inequality is explored through a limiting procedure for a temporally semi-discrete scheme based on the backward Euler difference of the time derivative, known as the Rothe method. It is shown that solutions of the Rothe scheme exist, they contain a weakly convergent subsequence as the time step-size approaches zero, and any weak limit of the solution sequence is a solution of the abstract hemivariational inequality. It is further shown that under certain conditions, a solution of the abstract hemivariational inequality is unique and the solution of the abstract hemivariational inequality depends continuously on the problem data. The results on the abstract hemivariational inequality are applied to hemivariational inequalities associated with the time-dependent Navier–Stokes equations.     

Regularity results on the Leray-alpha magnetohydrodynamics systems

We study certain generalized Leray-alpha magnetohydrodynamics systems. We show that the solution pairs of velocity and magnetic fields to this system in two-dimension preserve their initial regularity in two cases: dissipation logarithmically weaker than a full Laplacian and zero diffusion, zero dissipation and diffusion logarithmically weaker than a full Laplacian. These results extend previous results in Zhou and Fan (2011). Moreover, we show that for a certain three-dimensional Leray-alpha magnetohydrodynamics system, sufficient condition of regularity may be reduced to a horizontal gradient or a partial derivative in just one direction of the magnetic field, reducing components from the results in Fan and Ozawa (2009).

A High-Order Kernel-Free Boundary Integral Method for Incompressible Flow Equations in Two Space Dimensions

This paper presents a fourth-order kernel-free boundary integral method for the time-dependent, incompressible Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations defined on irregular bounded domains. By the stream function-vorticity formulation, the incompressible flow equations are interpreted as vorticity evolution equations. Time discretization methods for the evolution equations lead to a modified Helmholtz equation for the vorticity, or alternatively, a modified biharmonic equation for the stream function with two clamped boundary conditions. The resulting fourth-order elliptic boundary value problem is solved by a fourth-order kernel-free boundary integral method, with which integrals in the reformulated boundary integral equation are evaluated by solving corresponding equivalent interface problems, regardless of the exact expression of the involved Green's function. To solve the unsteady Stokes equations, a four-stage composite backward differential formula of the same order accuracy is employed for time integration. For the Navier-Stokes equations, a three-stage third-order semi-implicit Runge-Kutta method is utilized to guarantee the global numerical solution has at least third-order convergence rate. Numerical results for the unsteady Stokes equations and the Navier-Stokes equations are presented to validate efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.     

Two‐dimensional stationary Navier–Stokes equations with 4‐cyclic symmetry

This paper is concerned with the stationary Navier–Stokes equation in the whole plane and in the two–dimensional exterior domain invariant under the action of the cyclic group of order 4, and gives a condition on the potentials yielding the external force, and on the boundary value, sufficient for the unique existence of a small solution equivariant with respect to the aforementioned cyclic group.     

Pullback attractors of 2D Navier–Stokes equations with weak damping,distributed delay,and continuous delay

In this present paper, the existence of pullback attractors for the 2D Navier–Stokes equation with weak damping, distributed delay, and continuous delay has been considered, by virtue of classical Galerkin's method, we derived the existence and uniqueness of global weak and strong solutions. Using the Aubin–Lions lemma and some energy estimate in the Banach space with delay, we obtained the uniform bounded and existence of uniform pullback absorbing ball for the solution semi‐processes; we concluded the pullback attractors via verifying the pullback asymptotical compactness by the generalized Arzelà–Ascoli theorem.

Optimality criteria coupled adaptive mesh method for optimal shape design of Stokes flow

An adaptive mesh method combined with the optimality criteria algorithm is applied to optimal shape design problems of fluid dynamics. The shape sensitivity analysis of the cost functional is derived. The optimization problem is solved by a simple but robust optimality criteria algorithm, and an automatic local adaptive mesh refinement method is proposed. The mesh adaptation, with an indicator based on the material distribution information, is itself shown as a shape or topology optimization problem. Taking advantages of this algorithm, the optimal shape design problem concerning fluid flow can be solved with higher resolution of the interface and a minimum of additional expense. Details on the optimization procedure are provided. Numerical results for two benchmark topology optimization problems are provided and compared with those obtained by other methods.
