A coupling strategy based on anisotropic mesh adaptation for solving two-fluid flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a coupling strategy for solving efficiently bifluid flows based on the Stokes equations. Our approach relies on a level set formulation of the interface capturing problem, and involves a finite element discretization for the fluid resolution, the method of characteristics for solving the advection of the interface and the anisotropic mesh adaptation of the computational domain in the vicinity of the interface for better accuracy.

On 3D Anisotropic Local Remeshing for Surface, Volume and Boundary Layers
A simple strategy for generating anisotropic meshes is introduced. The approach belongs to the class of metric-based mesh adaptation procedures where a field of metric tensors governs the adaptation. This development is motivated by the need of generating anisotropic meshes for complex geometries and complex flows. The procedure may be used advantageously for cases where global remeshing techni...
متن کاملApplication of the Schwarz-Christoffel Transformation in Solving Two-Dimensional Turbulent Flows in Complex Geometries
In this paper, two-dimensional turbulent flows in different and complex geometries are simulated by using an accurate grid generation method. In order to analyze the fluid flow, numerical solution of the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations are solved using CFD techniques. Considering the complexity of the physical geometry, conformal mapping is used to generate an orthogonal grid by means of...
متن کاملOn the use of anisotropic a posteriori error estimators for the adaptative solution of 3D inviscid compressible flows
This paper describes the use of an a posteriori error estimator to control anisotropic mesh adaptation for computing inviscid compressible flows. The a posteriori error estimator and the coupling strategy with an anisotropic remesher are first introduced. The mesh adaptation is controlled by a single-parameter tolerance (TOL) in regions where the solution is regular, whereas a condition on the ...
متن کاملA 3D Goal-Oriented Anisotropic Mesh Adaptation Applied to Inviscid Flows in Aeronautics
This paper studies the coupling between anisotropic mesh adaptation and goal-oriented error estimate. The former is very well suited to the control of the interpolation error. It is generally interpreted as a local geometric error estimate. On the contrary, the latter is preferred when studying approximation errors for PDEs. It generally involves non local error contributions. Consequently, a f...
متن کاملUnstructured Adaptive Moving Mesh Solution of Unsteady Shear Flows and Free-surface Flows
A method for performing anisotropic unstructured mesh adaptation is discussed that is well suited for computational fluid dynamics on parallel distributed memory computers. This algorithm which involves mesh motion, rather than refinement and coarsening, is fast, parallel, and fully conservative. The approach is effective at accurately capturing free-surface flows, boundary layers, and unsteady...
