Computational fluctuating fluid dynamics

John B. Bell, Alejandro L. Garcia, Sarah A. Williams (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

This paper describes the extension of a recently developed numerical solver for the Landau-Lifshitz Navier-Stokes (LLNS) equations to binary mixtures in three dimensions. The LLNS equations incorporate thermal fluctuations into macroscopic hydrodynamics by using white-noise fluxes. These stochastic PDEs are more complicated in three dimensions due to the tensorial form of the correlations for the stochastic fluxes and in mixtures due to couplings of energy and concentration fluxes (, Soret...

Hyperbolic relaxation models for granular flows

Thierry Gallouët, Philippe Helluy, Jean-Marc Hérard, Julien Nussbaum (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this work we describe an efficient model for the simulation of a two-phase flow made of a gas and a granular solid. The starting point is the two-velocity two-pressure model of Baer and Nunziato [ (1986) 861–889]. The model is supplemented by a relaxation source term in order to take into account the pressure equilibrium between the two phases and the granular stress in the solid phase. We show that the relaxation process can be made thermodynamically coherent with...

Hybrid central-upwind schemes for numerical resolution of two-phase flows

Steinar Evje, Tore Flåtten (2005)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

In this paper we present a methodology for constructing accurate and efficient hybrid central-upwind (HCU) type schemes for the numerical resolution of a two-fluid model commonly used by the nuclear and petroleum industry. Particularly, we propose a method which does not make use of any information about the eigenstructure of the jacobian matrix of the model. The two-fluid model possesses a highly nonlinear pressure law. From the mass conservation equations we develop an evolution equation...

Calculation of low Mach number acoustics : a comparison of MPV, EIF and linearized Euler equations

Sabine Roller, Thomas Schwartzkopff, Roland Fortenbach, Michael Dumbser, Claus-Dieter Munz (2005)

Similarity:

The calculation of sound generation and propagation in low Mach number flows requires serious reflections on the characteristics of the underlying equations. Although the compressible Euler/Navier-Stokes equations cover all effects, an approximation via standard compressible solvers does not have the ability to represent acoustic waves correctly. Therefore, different methods have been developed to deal with the problem. In this paper, three of them are considered and compared to each...

An unconditionally stable finite element-finite volume pressure correction scheme for the drift-flux model

Laura Gastaldo, Raphaèle Herbin, Jean-Claude Latché (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We present in this paper a pressure correction scheme for the drift-flux model combining finite element and finite volume discretizations, which is shown to enjoy essential stability features of the continuous problem: the scheme is conservative, the unknowns are kept within their physical bounds and, in the homogeneous case ( when the drift velocity vanishes), the discrete entropy of the system decreases; in addition, when using for the drift velocity a closure law which takes the...

Compressible two-phase flows by central and upwind schemes

Smadar Karni, Eduard Kirr, Alexander Kurganov, Guergana Petrova (2004)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

This paper concerns numerical methods for two-phase flows. The governing equations are the compressible 2-velocity, 2-pressure flow model. Pressure and velocity relaxation are included as source terms. Results obtained by a Godunov-type central scheme and a Roe-type upwind scheme are presented. Issues of preservation of pressure equilibrium, and positivity of the partial densities are addressed.

The approximate Riemann solver of Roe applied to a drift-flux two-phase flow model

Tore Flåtten, Svend Tollak Munkejord (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We construct a Roe-type numerical scheme for approximating the solutions of a drift-flux two-phase flow model. The model incorporates a set of highly complex closure laws, and the fluxes are generally not algebraic functions of the conserved variables. Hence, the classical approach of constructing a Roe solver by means of parameter vectors is unfeasible. Alternative approaches for analytically constructing the Roe solver are discussed, and a formulation of the Roe solver valid for general...
