Observations Regarding Algorithms Required for Robust CFD Codes

F. T. Johnson, D. S. Kamenetskiy, R. G. Melvin, V. Venkatakrishnan, L. B. Wigton, D. P. Young, S. R. Allmaras, J. E. Bussoletti, C. L. Hilmes (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Over the last three decades Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has gradually joined the wind tunnel and flight test as a primary flow analysis tool for aerodynamic designers. CFD has had its most favorable impact on the aerodynamic design of the high-speed cruise configuration of a transport. This success has raised expectations among aerodynamicists that the applicability of CFD can be extended to the full flight envelope. However, the complex nature...

On a certain two-sided symmetric condition in magnetic field analysis and computations

František Melkes, Alexander Ženíšek (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

A special two-sided condition for the incremental magnetic reluctivity is introduced which guarantees the unique existence of both the weak and the approximate solutions of the nonlinear stationary magnetic field distributed on a region composed of different media, as well as a certain estimate of the error between the two solutions. The condition, being discussed from the physical as well as the mathematical point of view, can be easily verified and is fulfilled for various magnetic reluctivity...

On a stabilized colocated Finite Volume scheme for the Stokes problem

Robert Eymard, Raphaèle Herbin, Jean Claude Latché (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present and analyse in this paper a novel colocated Finite Volume scheme for the solution of the Stokes problem. It has been developed following two main ideas. On one hand, the discretization of the pressure gradient term is built as the discrete transposed of the velocity divergence term, the latter being evaluated using a natural finite volume approximation; this leads to a non-standard interpolation formula for the expression of the pressure on the edges of the control volumes. On the other...

On a variant of the local projection method stable in the SUPG norm

Petr Knobloch (2009)

Kybernetika

We consider the local projection finite element method for the discretization of a scalar convection-diffusion equation with a divergence-free convection field. We introduce a new fluctuation operator which is defined using an orthogonal L 2 projection with respect to a weighted L 2 inner product. We prove that the bilinear form corresponding to the discrete problem satisfies an inf-sup condition with respect to the SUPG norm and derive an error estimate for the discrete solution.

On discontinuous Galerkin method and semiregular family of triangulations

Aleš Prachař (2006)

Applications of Mathematics

Discretization of second order elliptic partial differential equations by discontinuous Galerkin method often results in numerical schemes with penalties. In this paper we analyze these penalized schemes in the context of quite general triangular meshes satisfying only a semiregularity assumption. A new (modified) penalty term is presented and theoretical properties are proven together with illustrative numerical results.

On interpolation error on degenerating prismatic elements

Ali Khademi, Sergey Korotov, Jon Eivind Vatne (2018)

Applications of Mathematics

We propose an analogue of the maximum angle condition (commonly used in finite element analysis for triangular and tetrahedral meshes) for the case of prismatic elements. Under this condition, prisms in the meshes may degenerate in certain ways, violating the so-called inscribed ball condition presented by P. G. Ciarlet (1978), but the interpolation error remains of the order O ( h ) in the H 1 -norm for sufficiently smooth functions.

On monotone and Schwarz alternating methods for nonlinear elliptic PDEs

Shiu-Hong Lui (2001)

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

The Schwarz alternating method can be used to solve elliptic boundary value problems on domains which consist of two or more overlapping subdomains. The solution is approximated by an infinite sequence of functions which results from solving a sequence of elliptic boundary value problems in each of the subdomains. In this paper, proofs of convergence of some Schwarz alternating methods for nonlinear elliptic problems which are known to have solutions by the monotone method (also known as the method...

On nonoverlapping domain decomposition methods for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

Xuejun Xu, C. O. Chow, S. H. Lui (2005)

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

In this paper, a Dirichlet-Neumann substructuring domain decomposition method is presented for a finite element approximation to the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations. It is shown that the Dirichlet-Neumann domain decomposition sequence converges geometrically to the true solution provided the Reynolds number is sufficiently small. In this method, subdomain problems are linear. Other version where the subdomain problems are linear Stokes problems is also presented.

On some implicit and semi-implicit staggered schemes for the shallow water and Euler equations

R. Herbin, W. Kheriji, J.-C. Latché (2014)

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

In this paper, we propose implicit and semi-implicit in time finite volume schemes for the barotropic Euler equations (hence, as a particular case, for the shallow water equations) and for the full Euler equations, based on staggered discretizations. For structured meshes, we use the MAC finite volume scheme, and, for general mixed quadrangular/hexahedral and simplicial meshes, we use the discrete unknowns of the Rannacher−Turek or Crouzeix−Raviart finite elements. We first show that a solution...

On stability of the P n mod / P n element for incompressible flow problems

Petr Knobloch (2006)

Applications of Mathematics

It is well known that finite element spaces used for approximating the velocity and the pressure in an incompressible flow problem have to be stable in the sense of the inf-sup condition of Babuška and Brezzi if a stabilization of the incompressibility constraint is not applied. In this paper we consider a recently introduced class of triangular nonconforming finite elements of n th order accuracy in the energy norm called P n elements. For n ≤ 3 we show that the stability condition holds if the velocity...

On suitable inlet boundary conditions for fluid-structure interaction problems in a channel

Jan Valášek, Petr Sváček, Jaromír Horáček (2019)

Applications of Mathematics

We are interested in the numerical solution of a two-dimensional fluid-structure interaction problem. A special attention is paid to the choice of physically relevant inlet boundary conditions for the case of channel closing. Three types of the inlet boundary conditions are considered. Beside the classical Dirichlet and the do-nothing boundary conditions also a generalized boundary condition motivated by the penalization prescription of the Dirichlet boundary condition is applied. The fluid flow...
