Numerical study of steady/unsteady flow and heat transfer in porous media using a characteristics-based matrix-free implicit FV method on unstructured grids

In this study, a high-resolution characteristic-based finite-volume (FV) method on unstructured grids [Int. J. Numer. Method Eng. 50 (2001) 11; Int. J. Heat Fluid Flow 21 (2000) 432] is extended by a matrix-free implicit dual-time stepping scheme for the numerical simulation of steady and unsteady flow and heat transfer with porous media. The method has been used to study the characteristics of a complex problem: flow and heat transfer in a channel with multiple discrete porous blocks, which was originally proposed by Huang and Vafai [J. Thermophys. Heat Transfer 8 (3) (1994) 563]. In addition, flow and heat transfer in a channel partially or fully filled with porous layers and containing solid protruding blocks with constant heat flux on its lower surface are also investigated in details. Hydrodynamic and heat transfer results are reported for both steady and transient flow cases. In particular, the effects of Darcy and Reynolds numbers on heat transfer augmentation and pressure loss are studied. An in-depth discussion of the formation and variation of recirculation is presented and the existence of optimum porous insert is demonstrated. At high Reynolds numbers the flow in the porous channel exhibits a cyclic characteristics although unlike the non-porous channel flow, the cyclic vortex development is only restricted to a small area behind the last solid block, while temperature changes more slowly and does not exhibit cyclic variations over a long period of time. It is shown that for all the cases studied altering some parametric values can have significant and interesting effects on both flow pattern as well as heat transfer characteristics.

Three-point explicit compact difference scheme with arbitrary order of accuracy and its application in CFD

Based on the successive iteration in the Taylor series expansion method,a three-point explicit compact difference scheme with arbitrary order of accuracy is derived in this paper.Numerical characteristics of the scheme are studied by the Fourier analysis. Unlike the conventional compact difference schemes which need to solve the equation to obtain the unknown derivatives in each node,the proposed scheme is explicit and can achieve arbitrary order of accuracy in space.Application examples for the convection- diffusion problem with a sharp front gradient and the typical lid-driven cavity flow are given.It is found that the proposed compact scheme is not only simple to implement and economical to use,but also is effective to simulate the convection-dominated problem and obtain high-order accurate solution in coarse grid systems.

Some remarks about the resolution of high velocity flows near low densities

High velocity flows which are exposed to strong rarefaction waves and creating low densities regions in it present difficulties and inaccuracies for numerical resolution. In particular, variables related to the internal energy are wrongly evaluated. Use of classical schemes solving the Euler equations in conservative variables introduces significant errors in the determination of temperature. We recommend to employ a non-conservative formulation of the energy equation. Results found to be more accurate in using the present internal energy formulation. In order to have the formulation available for both shock and strong rarefaction waves, we propose a hybrid formulation of conservative and non-conservative ones, depending on a shock indicator. The results are compared with exact solutions and show a significant improvement of the accuracy. The method is then extended to two-dimensional cases.

Droplet break-up through an oblique shock wave

The interaction of a two-phase flow with a wedge where a stationary shock wave is initially settled is studied in a two-dimensional configuration. Before the introduction of the dispersed phase, the flow around the wedge is a supersonic one phase flow such as an attached stationary shock wave is present. Then, the dispersed phase is introduced upstream the initial position of the stationary shock wave. The purpose of this study is to point out two-phase and droplets break-up effects on the oblique shock wave. The two-dimensional equations are solved by a TVD scheme where fluxes are computed by using Riemann solver for the gas phase equations and also for the dispersed phase equations wich is an original approach due to the authors (Saurel et al. 1994). In addition to drag forces and heat and mass transfers, the process of droplets fragmentation based on the particle oscillation is considered. Accepted April 28, 1995

Mode-3 spontaneous crack propagation along functionally graded bimaterial interfaces

The effects of combining functionally graded materials (FGMs) of different inhomogeneous property gradients on the mode-3 propagation characteristics of an interfacial crack are numerically investigated. Spontaneous interfacial crack propagation simulations were performed using the newly developed spectral scheme. The numerical scheme derived and implemented in the present work can efficiently simulate planar crack propagation along functionally graded bimaterial interfaces. The material property inhomogeneity was assumed to be in the direction normal to the interface. Various bimaterial combinations were simulated by varying the material property inhomogeneity length scale. Our parametric study showed that the inclusion of a softening type FGM in the bimaterial system leads to a reduction in the fracture resistance indicated by the increase in crack propagation velocity and power absorbed. An opposite trend of increased fracture resistance was predicted when a hardening material was included in the bimaterial system. The cohesive tractions and crack opening displacements were altered due to the material property inhomogeneity, but the stresses ahead of the cohesive zone remained unaffected.
