Numerical Methods for the Navier-Stokes equations

A comparative study between two numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

The present study aimed to investigate two numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. For this purpose, the mentioned flow equations were written in two different formulations, namely (i) velocity-pressure and (ii) vorticity-stream function formulations. Solution algorithms and boundary conditions were presented for both formulations and the efficiency of each formulation was investiga...

Optimization with the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations as constraints

In this paper, optimal distributed control of the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations is considered. The control problem involves the minimization of a measure of the distance between the velocity field and a given target velocity field. A mixed numerical method involving a quasi-Newton algorithm, a novel calculation of the gradients and an inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes solver, to find the opt...

Quantum Navier–Stokes equations

Compressible Navier–Stokes models for quantum fluids are reviewed. They are derived from a collisional Wigner equation by a moment method and a Chapman–Enskog expansion around the quantum equilibrium. Introducing a new velocity variable, the barotropic quantum Navier-Stokes model can be reformulated as a viscous quantum Euler system, which possesses a new Lyapunov (energy) functional. This func...
