A numerical method for unsteady flows

Numerical Simulation of Unsteady Flows using Unstructured Grid Method

1. Introduction A great variety of flows with importance to practical engineering applications are inherently unsteady and virtually all of the Newtonian fluid flows in nature are turbulent. Therefore, it is natural and unavoidable to deal with unsteady turbulent flows when Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques are applied to engineering design and industrial use. CFD for general fluid ...

Visualization of Numerical Unsteady Fluid Flows

Instantaneous streamlines are commonly used to visualize particle paths in steady flows. It is shown, however, that streaklines are often more appropriate for unsteady flows. The typical size of unsteady flow simulations makes interactive visualization difficult if not impossible. Two common approaches for visualizing unsteady flows are described. The advantages and disadvantages of each are di...

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...

Numerical Investigation on Contaminant Dispersion from a Source over the Blocks in Steady and Unsteady Flows

This paper deals with numerical study of semi-finite incompressible flow of air over two blocks with different heights in the presence of a condensing-source, dispensing- contaminant in the flow, in both steady and unsteady states. The numerical solution of governing PDE equations are constructed by a finite-volume method applied on structured grid arrangement. The effects of air flow velocity,...
