A Computational Method for Compressible Flows with Condensation in Power Plant Condensers

A Vortex Particle Method for Compressible Flows

A vortex particle method for the simulation of twodimensional compressible flows is developed. The computational elements are Lagrangian particles that carry vorticity, dilatation, enthalpy, entropy and density. The velocity field is decomposed into irrotational and solenoidal parts, which allows its calculation in terms of the particles’ vorticity and dilatation. The particle coverage is trunc...

A Two -Step Modification toward Implementing Compressible Source Terms in Low Compressible Flows

A Spectral Difference method for viscous compressible flows with shocks

The current work focuses on applying an artificial viscosity approach to the Spectral Difference (SD) method to enable high-order computation of compressible fluid flows with discontinuities. The study uses an artificial viscosity approach similar to the high-wavenumber biased artificial viscosity approach introduced by Cook and Cabot, and modified by Kawai and Lele. The model employs a bulk vi...

An HDG Method for unsteady compressible flows

The recent gain of interest in Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods shows their success in computational fluid dynamics. However, in the case of an implicit discretization, one potential drawback is the high number of globally coupled unknowns. By means of hybridization, this number can be significantly reduced. The hybridized DG (HDG) method has proven to be beneficial especially for steady flo...

A Brinkman penalization method for compressible flows in complex geometries

To simulate flows around solid obstacles of complex geometries, various immersed boundary methods had been developed. Their main advantage is the efficient implementation for stationary or moving solid boundaries of arbitrary complexity on fixed non-body conformal Cartesian grids. The Brinkman penalization method was proposed for incompressible viscous flows by penalizing the momentum equations...
