The mathematical model for the simulation includes a three-dimensional finitevolume based fluid solver for incompressible viscous flow and a combined finite-discrete element method for the three-dimensional deformation of solid. An immersed boundary method is used to couple the simulation of fluid and solid. It is implemented through a set of immersed boundary points scattered on the solid surface. These points provide a deformable solid wall boundary for the fluid by adding body force to Navier-Stokes equations. The force from the fluid is also obtained for each point and then applied on the boundary nodes of the solid. The vortex-induced vibration of the highly flexible elastic sheet is simulated with the established mathematical model. The simulated results for both swing pattern and oscillation frequency of the elastic sheet in low Reynolds number flow agree well with experimental data.展开更多

The calculations were carded on a fixed multigrid finite element mesh on which fluid equations were satisfied everywhere, and the airfoils were allowed to move freely through the mesh. The MFBM was employed to treat interactions between the fluid and the airfoils The motion of the airfoils was modeled by Newton-Euler equations. Numerical results of experiments verify that this method provides an efficient way to simulate incompressible viscous flows around moving airfoils.展开更多

The non-linear equations of motion obtained are solved numerically for different values of the various parameters of the problem. The path traced by the centre of the bubble and velocity of the centre, the change of radius R with time, and the influence of the buoyancy force, which is experienced by the expanding bubble for different values of the gravitational acceleration on these quantities, are investigated. The radius R(t) of the bubble is found to vary periodically with time when the acceleration due to gravity is small. But when the acceleration due to gravity increases, this periodicity in the value of R(t) with t is lost. The influence of viscosity in determining the periodicity of the bubble motion is also investigated.展开更多

The streamline upwind/Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) stabilization scheme is used for the formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. For the spatial discretization, the convection term is treated explicitly, while the viscous term is treated implicitly, and for the temporal discretization, a three-step method is employed. The present method is applied to simulate the lid driven cavity problems with different geometries at low and high Reynolds numbers. The results compared with other numerical experiments are found to be feasible and satisfactory.展开更多

We establish a blowup criterion only in terms of the derivative of velocity field, similar to the Beale^Kato-Majda type criterion for compressible viscous barotropic flows by Huang et al. (2011). The results indicate that the nature of the blowup for compressible MHD models of viscous media is similar to the barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations and does not depend on further sophistication of the MHD model, in particular, it is independent of the temperature and magnetic field. It also reveals that the deformation tensor of the velocity field plays a more dominant role than the electromagnetic field and the temperature in regularity theory. Especially, the similar results also hold for compressible viscous heat-conductive Navier-Stokes flows, which extend the results established by Fan et al. (2010), and I-Iuang and Li (2009). In addition, the viscous coefficients are only restricted by the physical conditions in this paper.展开更多

The corrugations of the two walls are described as periodic sinusoidal waves with small amplitude either in phase or half-period out of phase. Based on the analysis, we discuss the influence of the dimensionless parameters on velocity u±and mean velocity parameter φ±numerically, such as Reynolds number Re, nondimensional amplitude A of pressure gradient and wave number k.展开更多

The effects of artificial viscosity on shock capturing ability, broadband accuracy and under-resolved instability are examined combined with various orders and mesh resolutions. For shock-dominated flows, the superior accuracy of high order methods in terms of discontinuity resolution are well retained compared with lower ones. For under-resolved simulations, the artificial viscosity model is able to enhance stability of the eighth order discontinuous Galerkin method despite of detrimental influence for accuracy. For multi-scale flows, the artificial viscosity model demonstrates biased numerical dissipation towards higher wavenumbers. Capability in terms of boundary layer flows and hybrid meshes is also demonstrated.It is concluded that the fourth order artificial viscosity discontinuous Galerkin method is comparable to typical high order finite difference methods in the literature in terms of accuracy for identical number of degrees of freedom, while the eighth order is significantly better unless the under-resolved instability issue is raised. Furthermore, the artificial viscosity discontinuous Galerkin method is shown to provide appropriate numerical dissipation as compensation for turbulent kinetic energy decaying on moderately coarse meshes, indicating good potentiality for implicit large eddy simulation.展开更多

The compactness and convergence of vanishing viscosity solutions for nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws are first analyzed, including the inviscid limit from the Navier-Stokes equations to the Euler equations for homentropic flow, the vanishing viscosity method to construct the global spherically symmetric solutions to the multidimensional compressible Euler equations, and the sonic-subsonic limit of solutions of the full Euler equations for multi-dimensional steady compressible fluids. Then the weak continuity and rigidity of the Gauss-Codazzi-Ricci system and corresponding isometric embeddings in differential geometry are revealed. Further references are also provided for some recent developments on the weak continuity and compactness for nonlinear partial differential equations.展开更多
