Implementation of a Pressure Poisson Equation method for Plane Couette Flow
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses my work through December 2004 to implement Johnston and Liu’s Pressure Poisson Equation (PPE) method[1] for Plane Couette flow. Also, I discuss some results and plans for implementing a periodic orbit search. The advantage of this method is that it decouples the computation of velocity and pressure at each time step by treating the pressure term explicitly in time. The project is my first step in designing a program to search for periodic orbits in Plane Couette flow, using variational methods.

Using Burnett Equations to Derive an Analytical Solution to Pressure-Driven Gas Flow and Heat Transfer in Micro-Couette Flow
The aim of the present study is deriving an analytical solution to incompressible thermal flow in a micro-Couette geometry in the presence of a pressure gradient using Burnett equations with first- and second-order slip boundary conditions. The lower plate of the micro-Couette structure is stationary, whereas the upper plate moves at a constant velocity. Non-dimensional axial velocity and tempe...
متن کاملElastic analysis of functionally graded rotating thick cylindrical pressure vessels with exponentially-varying properties using power series method of Frobenius
Based on the Frobenius series method, stresses analysis of the functionally graded rotating thick cylindrical pressure vessels (FGRTCPV) are examined. The vessel is considered in both plane stress and plane strain conditions. All of the cylindrical shell properties except the Poisson ratio are considered exponential function along the radial direction. The governing Navier equation for this pro...
متن کاملInstability of Plane Couette Flow
The energy gradient theory has been proposed with the aim of better understanding the mechanism of flow transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow. In this theory, it is suggested that the transition to turbulence depends on the relative magnitudes of the energy gradient amplifying the disturbance and the viscous friction damping that disturbance. For a given flow geometry and fluid propert...
متن کاملThe Ritz-Galerkin method for MHD Couette flow of non-Newtonian fluid
In this paper, the Ritz-Galerkin method in Bernstein polynomial basis is applied for solving the nonlinear problem of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of third grade fluid between the two plates. The properties of the Bernstein polynomials together with the Ritz-Galerkin method are used to reduce the solution of the MHD Couette flow of non-Newtonian fluid in a porous medium to the solution o...

In this paper, the multi-step differential transform method (MDTM), one of the most effective method, is implemented to compute an approximate solution of the system of nonlinear differential equations governing the problem. It has been attempted to show the reliability and performance of the MDTM in comparison with the numerical method (fourth-order Runge–Kutta) and other analytical methods su...
