Two-dimensional unsteady inertial flows of a yield stress fluid around a cylinder

Isogeometric analysis for flows around a cylinder

This note studies the accuracy of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) applied in the simulation of incompressible flows around a cylinder in two and three dimensions. Quantities of interest, like the drag coefficient, the lift coefficient, and the difference of the pressure between the front and the back of the cylinder are monitored. Results computed with standard finite element methods are used for c...

Simulation of Unsteady Laminar Flow around a Circular Cylinder

Abstract In this paper, unsteady laminar flow around a circular cylinder has been studied. Navier-stokes equations solved by Simple C algorithm exerted to specified structured and unstructured grids. Equations solved by staggered method and discretization of those done by upwind method. The mean drag coefficient, lift coefficient and strouhal number are compared from current work at three diffe...

Unsteady Helical Flows of a Maxwell Fluid

where T is the stress tensor, p the hydrostatic pressure, S the extra-stress tensor, A the first RivlinEricksen tensor and μ the dynamic viscosity. Many common fluids show this “Newtonian” behavior and in fact the whole discipline of classical fluid mechanics is based upon this equation. However, the constitutive equation (1) does not show any of the normal stress effects or relaxation phenomen...

Parareal convergence for 2D unsteady flow around a cylinder

In this technical report we study the convergence of Parareal for 2D incompressible flow around a cylinder for different viscosities. Two methods are used as fine integrator: backward Euler and a fractional step method. It is found that Parareal converges better for the implicit Euler, likely because it under-resolves the fine-scale dynamics as a result of numerical diffusion.
