A FULL DISCRETE STABILIZED METHOD FOR THE OPTIMAL CONTROL OF THE UNSTEADY NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

In this paper, a full discrete local projection stabilized （LPS） method is proposed to solve the optimal control problems of the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations with equal order elements. Convective effects and pressure are both stabilized by using the LPS method. A priori error estimates uniformly with respect to the Reynolds number are obtained, providing the true solutions are sufficient smooth. Numerical experiments are implemented to illustrate and confirm our theoretical analysis.

From Hölder Continuous Solutions of 3D Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations to No-Finite Time Blowup on [ 0,∞ ]

This article gives a general model using specific periodic special functions, that is, degenerate elliptic Weierstrass P functions composed with the LambertW function, whose presence in the governing equations through the forcing terms simplify the periodic Navier Stokes equations (PNS) at the centers of arbitrary r balls of the 3-Torus. The continuity equation is satisfied together with spatially periodic boundary conditions. The yicomponent forcing terms consist of a function F as part of its expression that is arbitrarily small in an r ball where it is associated with a singular forcing expression both for inviscid and viscous cases. As a result, a significant simplification occurs with a v3(vifor all velocity components) only governing PDE resulting. The extension of three restricted subspaces in each of the principal directions in the Cartesian plane is shown as the Cartesian product ℋ=Jx,t×Jy,t×Jz,t. On each of these subspaces vi,i=1,2,3is continuous and there exists a linear independent subspace associated with the argument of the W function. Here the 3-Torus is built up from each compact segment of length 2R on each of the axes on the 3 principal directions x, y, and z. The form of the scaled velocities for non zero scaled δis related to the definition of the W function such that e−W(ξ)=W(ξ)ξwhere ξdepends on t and proportional to δ→0for infinite time t. The ratio Wξis equal to 1, making the limit δ→0finite and well defined. Considering r balls where the function F=(x−ai)2+(y−bi)2+(z−ci)2−ηset equal to −1e+rwhere r>0. is such that the forcing is singular at every distance r of centres of cubes each containing an r-ball. At the centre of the balls, the forcing is infinite. The main idea is that a system of singular initial value problems with infinite forcing is to be solved for where the velocities are shown to be locally Hölder continuous. It is proven that the limit of these singular problems shifts the finite time blowup time ti∗for first and higher derivatives to t=∞thereby indicating that there is no finite time blowup. Results in the literature can provide a systematic approach to study both large space and time behaviour for singular solutions to the Navier Stokes equations. Among the references, it has been shown that mathematical tools can be applied to study the asymptotic properties of solutions.

UNSTEADY/STEADY NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL INCOMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS ON ARTIFICIAL COMPRESSIBILITY

A mixed algorithm of central and upwind difference scheme for the solution of steady/unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is presented. The algorithm is based on the method of artificial compressibility and uses a third-order flux-difference splitting technique for the convective terms and the second-order central difference for the viscous terms. The numerical flux of semi-discrete equations is computed by using the Roe approximation. Time accuracy is obtained in the numerical solutions by subiterating the equations in pseudotime for each physical time step. The algebraic turbulence model of Baldwin-Lomax is ulsed in this work. As examples, the solutions of flow through two dimensional flat, airfoil, prolate spheroid and cerebral aneurysm are computed and the results are compared with experimental data. The results show that the coefficient of pressure and skin friction are agreement with experimental data, the largest discrepancy occur in the separation region where the lagebraic turbulence model of Baldwin-Lomax could not exactly predict the flow.

A IP_N×IP_N Spectral Element Projection Method for the Unsteady Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations

In this paper,we present a IP_N×IP_N spectral element method and a detailed comparison with existing methods for the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equa- tions.The main purpose of this work consists of:(i) detailed comparison and discussion of some recent developments of the temporal discretizations in the frame of spectral el- ement approaches in space;(ii) construction of a stable IP_N×IP_N method together with a IP_N→IP_(N-2) post-filtering.The link of different methods will be clarified.The key feature of our method lies in that only one grid is needed for both velocity and pressure variables,which differs from most well-known solvers for the Navier-Stokes equations. Although not yet proven by rigorous theoretical analysis,the stability and accuracy of this one-grid spectral method are demonstrated by a series of numerical experiments.

Auxiliary Equations Approach for the Stochastic Unsteady Navier-Stokes Equations with Additive Random Noise

This paper presents a Martingale regularization method for the stochas-tic Navier–Stokes equations with additive noise.The original system is split into two equivalent parts,the linear stochastic Stokes equations with Martingale solution and the stochastic modified Navier–Stokes equations with relatively-higher regular-ities.Meanwhile,a fractional Laplace operator is introduced to regularize the noise term.The stability and convergence of numerical scheme for the pathwise modified Navier–Stokes equations are proved.The comparisons of non-regularized and reg-ularized noises for the Navier–Stokes system are numerically presented to further demonstrate the efficiency of our numerical scheme.

A New Approach to Solving Two-Dimensional Unsteady Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations

This paper proposes a new approach that combines the reduced differential transform method (RDTM), a resummation method based on the Yang transform, and a Padé approximant to the kinetically reduced local Navier-Stokes equation to find approximate solutions to the problem of lid-driven square cavity flow. The new approach, called PYRDM, considerably improves the convergence rate of the truncated series solution of RDTM and also is based on a simple process that yields highly precise estimates. The numerical results achieved by this method are compared to earlier studies’ results. Our results indicate that this method is more efficient and precise in generating analytic solutions. Furthermore, it provides highly precise solutions with good convergence that is simple to apply for great Reynolds and low Mach numbers. Moreover, the new solution’ graphs demonstrate the new approach’s validity, usefulness, and necessity.

LOW MACH NUMBER FLOW COMPUTATION USING PRECONDITIONING METHODS AND COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

The preconditioning method is used to solve the low Mach number flow. The space discritisation scheme is the Roe scheme and the DES turbulence model is used. Then, the low Mach number turbulence flow around the NACA0012 airfoil is used to verify the efficiency of the proposed method. Two cases of the low Mach number flows around the multi-element airfoil and the circular cylinder are also used to test the proposed method. Numerical results show that the methods combined the preconditioning method and compressible Navier-Stokes equations are efficient to solve low Mach number flows.

Forward flight of a model butterfly: Simulation by equations of motion coupled with the Navier-Stokes equations

The forward flight of a model butterfly was stud- ied by simulation using the equations of motion coupled with the Navier-Stokes equations. The model butterfly moved under the action of aerodynamic and gravitational forces, where the aerodynamic forces were generated by flapping wings which moved with the body, allowing the body os- cillations of the model butterfly to be simulated. The main results are as follows： （1） The aerodynamic force produced by the wings is approximately perpendicular to the long-axis of body and is much larger in the downstroke than in the up- stroke. In the downstroke the body pitch angle is small and the large aerodynamic force points up and slightly backward, giving the weight-supporting vertical force and a small neg- ative horizontal force, whilst in the upstroke, the body an- gle is large and the relatively small aerodynamic force points forward and slightly downward, giving a positive horizon- tal force which overcomes the body drag and the negative horizontal force generated in the downstroke. （2） Pitching oscillation of the butterfly body plays an equivalent role of the wing-rotation of many other insects. （3） The body-mass- specific power of the model butterfly is 33.3 W/kg, not very different from that of many other insects, e.g., fruitflies and dragonflies.

INTERFACE BEHAVIOR OF COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH DISCONTINUOUS BOUNDARY CONDITIONS AND VACUM

In this paper,we study a one-dimensional motion of viscous gas near vacuum. We are interested in the case that the gas is in contact with the vacuum at a finite interval. This is a free boundary problem for the one-dimensional isentropic Navier-Stokes equations, and the free boundaries are the interfaces separating the gas from vacuum,across which the density changes discontinuosly.Smoothness of the solutions and the uniqueness of the weak solutions are also discussed.The present paper extends results in Luo-Xin-Yang[12] to the jump boundary conditions case.

ZERO DISSIPATION LIMIT OF THE COMPRESSIBLE HEAT-CONDUCTING NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS IN THE PRESENCE OF THE SHOCK

The zero dissipation limit of the compressible heat-conducting Navier–Stokes equations in the presence of the shock is investigated. It is shown that when the heat conduction coefficient κ and the viscosity coefficient ε satisfy κ = O（ε）, κ/ε≥ c 〉 0, as ε→ 0 （see （1.3））, if the solution of the corresponding Euler equations is piecewise smooth with shock wave satisfying the Lax entropy condition, then there exists a smooth solution to the Navier–Stokes equations, which converges to the piecewise smooth shock solution of the Euler equations away from the shock discontinuity at a rate of ε. The proof is given by a combination of the energy estimates and the matched asymptotic analysis introduced in [3].

A NEW NONCONFORMING MIXED FINITE ELEMENT SCHEME FOR THE STATIONARY NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

In this article, a new stable nonconforming mixed finite element scheme is proposed for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations, in which a new low order Crouzeix- Raviart type nonconforming rectangular element is taken for approximating space for the velocity and the piecewise constant element for the pressure. The optimal order error estimates for the approximation of both the velocity and the pressure in L2-norm are established, as well as one in broken H1-norm for the velocity. Numerical experiments are given which are consistent with our theoretical analysis.

TIME PERIODIC SOLUTION TO THE COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS IN A PERIODIC DOMAIN

This article is concerned with the time periodic solution to the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a periodic domain. Using an approach of parabolic regularization, we first obtain the existence of the time periodic solution to a regularized problem under some smallness and symmetry assumptions on the external force. The result for the original compressible Navier-Stokes equations is then obtained by a limiting process. The uniqueness of the periodic solution is also given.

GLOBAL CLASSICAL SOLUTION TO THE CAUCHY PROBLEM OF THE 3-D COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH DENSITY-DEPENDENT VISCOSITY

In this paper, we consider the global existence of classical solution to the 3-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a density-dependent viscosity coefficient λ(ρ)provided that the initial energy is small in some sense. In our result, we give a relation between the initial energy and the viscosity coefficient μ, and it shows that the initial energy can be large if the coefficient of the viscosity μ is taken to be large, which implies that large viscosity μ means large solution.

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.
