A non-oscillatory method for spallation studies
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces a non-oscillatory method, the finite element flux-corrected transport (FE-FCT) method for spallation studies. This method includes the implementation of a one-dimensional FCT algorithm into a total Lagrangian finite element method. Consequently, the FE-FCT method can efficiently eliminate fluctuations behind shock wave fronts without smearing them. In multidimensional simulations, the one-dimensional FCT algorithm is used on each grid line of the structured meshes to correct the corresponding component of nodal velocities separately. The requirement of structured meshes is satisfied by using an implicit function so that arbitrary boundaries of the simulated object can be described. In this paper, the proposed FE-FCT method is applied in spallation studies. Oneand two-dimensional examples show this non-oscillatory method could be one of the candidates to accurately predict spallation and the spall thickness. Copyright 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The effect of flow parameters on mixing degree of a three dimensional rhombus micromixer with obstacles in the middle of the mixing channel using oscillatory inlet velocities
The previous studies of authors on passive micromixers indicated that the micromixers dividing the flow to several layers, such as rhombus micromixers and micromixers with obstacles in the middle of the mixing channel, have higher mixing degree than other types. Also, using of oscillatory inlet velocities is an active method to enhance the mixing efficiency of micromixers. Therefore, in this st...
متن کاملThe comparison of two high-order semi-discrete central schemes for solving hyperbolic conservation laws
This work presents two high-order, semi-discrete, central-upwind schemes for computing approximate solutions of 1D systems of conservation laws. We propose a central weighted essentially non-oscillatory (CWENO) reconstruction, also we apply a fourth-order reconstruction proposed by Peer et al., and afterwards, we combine these reconstructions with a semi-discrete central-upwind numerical flux ...

Enhancement of heat and mass transfer and decrease of energy dissipation are great necessities of the evolution of fluid flow devices. Utilizing oscillatory or pulsatile fluid flow for periodic disturbing of velocity and thermal boundary layers is one of the methods with exciting results. Passive methods of generating oscillatory flow are preferred to active methods because of simplicity, no ne...
متن کاملNeutron Imaging at Spallation Neutron Sources
Neutron imaging is a powerful method for non-destructive investigations where the high penetration through metals and the high contrast for hydrogenous materials is exploited in particular. The complementary to X-ray studies is a clever alternative in many cases of scientific and industrial applications. Reactor based neutron sources are becoming less available, caused by the shutdown of aged f...
