Squirmers with swirl: a model for Volvox swimming
Colonies of the green alga Volvox are spheres that swim through the beating of pairs of flagella on their surface somatic cells. The somatic cells themselves are mounted rigidly in a polymeric extracellular matrix, fixing the orientation of the flagella so that they beat approximately in a meridional plane, with axis of symmetry in the swimming direction, but with a roughly [Formula: see text] ...
متن کاملFlow of viscoelastic fluids past a cylinder at high Weissenberg number: stabilized simulations using matrix logarithms
The log conformation representation proposed in [1] has been implemented in a fem context using the DEVSS/DG formulation for viscoelastic fluid flow. We present a stability analysis in 1D and attribute the high Weissenberg problem to the failure of the numerical scheme to balance exponential growth. A slightly different derivation of the log based evolution equation than in [1] is also presente...
متن کاملComputation of viscoelastic fluid flows at high Weissenberg number using continuation methods
The numerical simulation of viscoelastic fluid flow becomes more difficult as a physical parameter, the Weissenberg number, increases. Specifically, at a Weissenberg number larger than a critical value, the iterative nonlinear solver fails to converge, a phenomenon known as the High Weissenberg Number Problem. In this work we describe the application and implementation of continuation methods t...
متن کاملTime-dependent simulation of viscoelastic flows at high Weissenberg number using the log-conformation representation
We present a second-order finite-difference scheme for viscoelastic flows based on a recent reformulation of the constitutive laws as equations for the matrix logarithm of the conformation tensor. We present a simple analysis that clarifies how the passage to logarithmic variables remedies the high-Weissenberg numerical instability. As a stringent test, we simulate an Oldroyd-B fluid in a lid-d...
متن کاملDefect Correction Method for Viscoelastic Fluid Flows at High Weissenberg Number
We study a defect correction method for the approximation of viscoelastic fluid flow. In the defect step, the constitutive equation is computed with an artificially reduced Weissenberg parameter for stability, and the resulting residual is corrected in the correction step. We prove the convergence of the defect correction method and derive an error estimate for the Oseen-viscoelastic model prob...
