A fast iterative model for discrete velocity calculations on triangular grids
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fast synthetic type iterative model is proposed to speed up the slow convergence of discrete velocity algorithms for solving linear kinetic equations on triangular lattices. The efficiency of the scheme is verified both theoretically by a discrete Fourier stability analysis and computationally by solving a rarefied gas flow problem. The stability analysis of the discrete kinetic equations yields the spectral radius of the typical and the proposed iterative algorithms and reveal the drastically improved performance of the latter one for any grid resolution. This is the first time that stability analysis of the full discrete kinetic equations related to rarefied gas theory is formulated, providing the detailed dependency of the iteration scheme on the discretization parameters in the phase space. The corresponding characteristics of the model deduced by solving numerically the rarefied gas flow through a duct with triangular cross section are in complete agreement with the theoretical findings. The proposed approach may open a way for fast computation of rarefied gas flows on complex geometries in the whole range of gas rarefaction including the hydrodynamic regime. 2010 Elsevier Inc.

Two alternative approaches to the solution of discrete ordinate transport are considered in the context of general unstructured grids. The more traditional approach considered is the solution of a lower triangular system of equations for the spatial intensity distribution. Alternatively, the iterative solution of the system of equations arising from a more general diierencing stencil is also co...
