Performance of Under-resolved Two-DImensional Incompressible Flow Simulations, II1

چکیده
This paper presents a study of the behavior of several difference approximations for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations as a function of the computational mesh resolution. In particular, the under-resolved case is considered. The methods considered include a Godunov projection method, a primitive variable ENO method, an upwind vorticity stream-function method, centered difference methods of both a pressure–Poisson and vorticity streamfunction formulation, and a pseudospectral method. It is demonstrated that all these methods produce spurious, nonphysical vortices of the type described by Brown and Minion for a Godunov projection method (J. Comput. Phys. 121, 1995) when the flow is sufficiently under-resolved. The occurrence of these artifacts appears to be due to a nonlinear effect in which the truncation error of the difference method initiates a vortex instability in the computed flow. The implications of this study for adaptive mesh refinement strategies are also discussed. Q 1997 Academic Press

متن کاملThree-dimensional characteristic approach for incompressible thermo-flows and influence of artificial compressibility parameter
In this paper the characteristics of unsteady three-dimensional incompressible flows with heat transfer are obtained along with artificial compressibility of Chorin. At first, compatibility equations and pseudo characteristics for three-dimensional flows are derived from five governing equations (continuity equation, Momentum equations in three directions, and energy equation) and then results ...

متن کاملEvaluation of two lattice Boltzmann methods for fluid flow simulation in a stirred tank
In the present study, commonly used weakly compressible lattice Boltzmann method and Guo incompressible lattice Boltzmann method have been used to simulate fluid flow in a stirred tank. For this purpose a 3D Parallel code has been developed in the framework of the lattice Boltzmann method. This program has been used for simulation of flow at different geometries such as 2D channel fluid flow an...
