A Compact Explicit Difference Scheme of High Accuracy for Extended Boussinesq Equations

Presented here is a compact explicit difference scheme of high accuracy for solving the extended Boussinesq equations. For time discretization, a three-stage explicit Runge-Kutta method with TVD property is used at predicting stage, a cubic spline function is adopted at correcting stage, which made the time discretization accuracy up to fourth order; For spatial discretization, a three-point explicit compact difference scheme with arbitrary order accuracy is employed. The extended Boussinesq equations derived by Beji and Nadaoka are solved by the proposed scheme. The numerical results agree well with the experimental data. At the same time, the comparisons of the two numerical results between the present scheme and low accuracy difference method are made, which further show the necessity of using high accuracy scheme to solve the extended Boussinesq equations. As a valid sample, the wave propagation on the rectangular step is formulated by the present scheme, the modelled results are in better agreement with the experimental data than those of Kittitanasuan.

Improvement of the Semi-Lagrangian Advection Scheme in the GRAPES Model:Theoretical Analysis and Idealized Tests

ABSTRACT The Global/Regional Assimilation and PrEdiction System （GRAPES） is the newgeneration numerical weather predic- tion （NWP） system developed by the China Meteorological Administration. It is a fully compressible non-hydrostatical global/regional unified model that uses a traditional semi-Lagrangian advection scheme with cubic Lagrangian interpola tion （referred to as the SL_CL scheme）. The SL_CL scheme has been used in many operational NWP models, but there are still some deficiencies, such as the damping effects due to the interpolation and the relatively low accuracy. Based on Reich＇s semi-Lagrangian advection scheme （referred to as the R2007 scheme）, the Re_R2007 scheme that uses the low- and high-order B-spline function for interpolation at the departure point, is developed in this paper. One- and two-dimensional idealized tests in the rectangular coordinate system with uniform grid cells were conducted to compare the Re..R2007 scheme and the SL_CL scheme. The numerical results showed that： （1） the damping effects were remarkably reduced with the Re_R2007 scheme; and （2） the normalized errors of the Re_R2007 scheme were about 7.5 and 3 times smaller than those of the SL_CL scheme in one- and two-dimensional tests, respectively, indicating the higher accuracy of the Re..R2007 scheme. Furthermore, two solid-body rotation tests were conducted in the latitude-longitude spherical coordinate system with non uniform grid cells, which also verified the Re_R2007 scheme＇s advantages. Finally, in comparison with other global advection schemes, the Re_R2007 scheme was competitive in terms of accuracy and flow independence. An encouraging possibility for the application of the Re_R2007 scheme to the GRAPES model is provided.

PERTURBATION FINITE VOLUME METHOD FOR CONVECTIVE-DIFFUSION INTEGRAL EQUATION

A perturbation finite volume(PFV)method for the convective-diffusion integral equa- tion is developed in this paper.The PFV scheme is an upwind and mixed scheme using any higher-order interpolation and second-order integration approximations,with the least nodes similar to the standard three-point schemes,that is,the number of the nodes needed is equal to unity plus the face-number of the control volume.For instance,in the two-dimensional(2-D)case,only four nodes for the triangle grids and five nodes for the Cartesian grids are utilized,respectively.The PFV scheme is applied on a number of 1-D linear and nonlinear problems,2-D and 3-D flow model equations.Comparing with other standard three-point schemes,the PFV scheme has much smaller numerical diffusion than the first-order upwind scheme(UDS).Its numerical accuracies are also higher than the second-order central scheme(CDS),the power-law scheme(PLS)and QUICK scheme.

Study of total variation diminishing (TVD) slope limiters in dam-break flow simulation

A two-dimensional （2D） dam-break flow numerical model was developed based on the finite-volume total variation diminishing （TVD） and monotone upstream-centered scheme for conservation laws （MUSCL）-Hancock scheme, which has second-order accuracy in both time and space. A Harten-Lax-van Leer-contact （HLLC） approximate Riemann solver was used to evaluate fluxes. The TVD MUSCL-Hancock numerical scheme utilizes slope limiters, such as the minmod, double minmod, superbee, van Albada, and van Leer limiters, to prevent spurious oscillations and maintain monotonicity near discontinuities. A comparative study of the impact of various slope limiters on the accuracy of the numerical flow model was conducted with several dam-break examples including wet and dry bed cases. The numerical results of the superbee and double minmod limiters agree better with the theoretical solution and have higher accuracy than other limiters in one-dimensional （1D） space. The ratio of the downstream water depth to the upstream water depth was used to select the proper slope limiter. For the 2D numerical model, the superbee limiter should not be used, owing to significant numerical dispersion.

Development and assessment of algorithms for DEM-LES simulations of fluidized bed

The use of high-fidelity Discrete Element Method(DEM)coupled with Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)for particle-scale simulations demands extensive simulation times and restricts application to small particulate systems.DEM-CFD simulations require good performance and satisfactory scalability on high-performance computing platforms.A reliable parallel computing strategy must be developed to calculate the collision forces,since collisions can occur between particles that are not on the same processor,or even across processors whose domains are disjoint.The present paper describes a parallelization technique and a numerical verification study based on a number of tests that allow for the assessment of the numerical performance of DEM used in conjunction with Large-Eddy Simulation(LES)to model dense flows in fluidized beds.The fluid phase is computed through solving the volume-averaged four-way coupling Navier-Stokes equations,in which the Smagorinsky sub-grid scale tensor model is used.Furthermore,the performance of Sub-Grid Scale(SGS)turbulence models applied to Fluidized Bed Reactor(FBR)configurations has been assessed and compared.The developed numerical solver represents an interesting combination of techniques that work well for the present purpose of studying particle formation in fluidized beds.

Symmetric and symplectic methods for gyrocenter dynamics in time-independent magnetic fields

We apply a second-order symmetric Runge–Kutta method and a second-order symplectic Runge–Kutta method directly to the gyrocenter dynamics which can be expressed as a noncanonical Hamiltonian system.The numerical simulation results show the overwhelming superiorities of the two methods over a higher order nonsymmetric nonsymplectic Runge–Kutta method in long-term numerical accuracy and near energy conservation.Furthermore,they are much faster than the midpoint rule applied to the canonicalized system to reach given precision.
