Application of the finite point method to high‐Reynolds number compressible flow problems

In this work, the finite point method is applied to the solution of high‐Reynolds compressible viscous flows. The aim is to explore this important field of applications focusing on two main aspects: the easiness and automation of the meshless discretization of viscous layers and the construction of a robust numerical approximation in the highly stretched clouds of points resulting in such domain areas. The flow solution scheme adopts an upwind‐biased scheme to solve the averaged Navier–Stokes equations in conjunction with an algebraic turbulence model. The numerical applications presented involve different attached boundary layer flows and are intended to show the performance of the numerical technique. The results obtained are satisfactory and indicative of the possibilities to extend the present meshless technique to more complex flow problems. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

裂纹问题的一致性高阶无网格法

一致性高阶无网格法能高效精确地求解连续体问题,尤其是能得到高精度的应力场。本文将该方法拓展到应力解析精度至关重要的裂纹问题（即非连续体问题）的数值分析。采用背景积分网格描述裂纹几何,基于无需增加节点额外自由度的虚拟节点法描述裂纹处位移场的间断,提出了虚拟节点的引入算法和断裂单元的数值积分方法。为进一步模拟裂纹扩展,采用相互作用积分方法计算应力强度因子,裂纹的扩展方向由最大周向应力准则确定。数值结果表明,本文发展方法能够精确地通过间断分片试验;相较于标准的高阶无网格法和低阶一致性无网格法,本文的一致性高阶无网格法显著改善了应力强度因子的计算精度,能够准确预测裂纹扩展路径。     

一种基于颗粒接触的二维无网格方法及其在高速冲击模拟中的应用

为解决基于连续介质力学的离散元方法(CDEM)在高速冲击模拟中因网格畸变导致的系统能量发散问题,提出了一种基于颗粒接触的二维无网格方法(PCMM)。该方法基于颗粒间复杂丰富的接触信息构建三角形单元,通过接触对的演化更新实现旧单元(满足删除条件的单元)的删除及新单元(满足创建条件的单元)的重建,通过在单元内引入流体弹塑性模型实现高速冲击问题的模拟。给出了三角形单元创建的3个必备条件:组成单元的3个颗粒必须彼此接触,任意一个内角必须在30°~150°之间,任意一条边长必须大于平均半径的0.5倍。弹性杆撞击、泰勒杆、碎片云、子弹入射靶板等算例的结果表明了PCMM方法在模拟高速冲击问题方面的正确性及合理性。     

A method based on meshless approach for the numerical solution of the two‐space dimensional hyperbolic telegraph equation

In the current article, we investigate the RBF solution of second‐order two‐space dimensional linear hyperbolic telegraph equation. For this purpose, we use a combination of boundary knot method (BKM) and analog equation method (AEM). The BKM is a meshfree, boundary‐only and integration‐free technique. The BKM is an alternative to the method of fundamental solution to avoid the fictitious boundary and to deal with low accuracy, singular integration and mesh generation. Also, on the basis of the AEM, the governing operator is substituted by an equivalent nonhomogeneous linear one with known fundamental solution under the same boundary conditions. Finally, several numerical results and discussions are demonstrated to show the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Unified semi‐analytical wall boundary conditions for inviscid,laminar or turbulent flows in the meshless SPH method

Wall boundary conditions in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is a key issue to perform accurate simulations. We propose here a new approach based on a renormalising factor for writing all boundary terms. This factor depends on the local shape of a wall and on the position of a particle relative to the wall, which is described by segments (in two‐dimensions), instead of the cumbersome fictitious or ghost particles used in most existing SPH models. By solving a dynamic equation for the renormalising factor, we significantly improve traditional wall treatment in SPH, for pressure forces, wall friction and turbulent conditions. The new model is demonstrated for cases including hydrostatic conditions for still water in a tank of complex geometry and a dam break over triangular bed profile with sharp angle where significant improved behaviour is obtained in comparison with the conventional boundary techniques. The latter case is also compared with a finite volume and volume‐of‐fluid scheme. The performance of the model for a two‐dimensional laminar flow in a channel is demonstrated where the profiles of velocity are in agreement with the theoretical ones, demonstrating that the derived wall shear stress balances the pressure gradient. Finally, the performance of the model is demonstrated for flow in a schematic fish pass where both the velocity field and turbulent viscosity fields are satisfactorily reproduced compared with mesh‐based codes.

Evaluation of RBFs for volume data interpolation in CFD

A greedy method for choosing an optimum reduced set of control points is integrated with RBF interpolation and evaluated for the purpose of interpolating large‐volume data sets in CFD. Given a function defined at a set of points, the greedy method selects a small subset of these points that is sufficient to keep the interpolation error at all the remaining points below a chosen bound. This is equivalent to a type of data compression and would have useful storage, post‐processing, and computational applications in CFD. To test the method in terms of both the point selection scheme and the suitability of reduced control point volume interpolation, a trial application of the interpolation to velocity fields in CFD volume meshes is considered. To optimise the point selection process, and attempt to be able to capture multiple length scales, a variable support radius formulation has also been included. Structured and unstructured mesh cases are considered for aerofoils, a wing case and a wing‐body case. For smooth volume functions, the method is shown to work well, producing accurate velocity interpolations using a very small number of the cells in the mesh. For general complex fields including large gradients, the method is still shown to be effective, although large gradients require more interpolation points to be used.Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The characteristic‐based split (CBS) meshfree method for free surface flow problems in ALE formulation

A semi‐implicit characteristic‐based split (CBS) meshfree algorithm in the arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) framework is proposed for the numerical solution of incompressible free surface flow problem in the paper. The algorithm is the extension of general CBS method which was initially introduced in finite element framework, this is due to the fact that CBS method not only can enhance the stability, but also avoid LBB condition when equal order basis function is used to approximate velocity and pressure variables. Meanwhile, a simple way for node update and node speed calculation is developed which is used to capture the free surface exactly. The numerical solutions are compared with available analytical and numerical solutions, which shows that the proposed method has better ability to simulate the free surface incompressible flow problem.
