چکیده
We present an algorithm to compute adaptive solutions for incompressible flows using block-structured local refinement in both space and time. This method uses a projection formulation based on a cell-centered approximate projection, which allows the use of a single set of cell-centered solvers. Because of refinement in time, additional steps are taken to accurately discretize the advection and projection operators at grid refinement boundaries using composite operators which span the coarse and refined grids. This ensures that the method is approximately freestream preserving and satisfies an appropriate form of the divergence constraint. c © 2000 Academic Press

A Cell-Centered Cartesian Grid Projection Method for the Incompressible Euler Equations in Complex Geometries
1 Abstract Many problems in uid dynamics have domains with complicated internal or external boundaries of the ow. Here we present a method for calculating time-dependent incompressible inviscid ow using a \Cartesian grid" approach for representing geometry. In this approach, the body is represented as an interface embedded in a regular Cartesian mesh. The basic algorithm is a fractional-step pr...

We present a method for computing incompressible viscous flows in three dimensions using block-structured local refinement in both space and time. This method uses a projection formulation based on a cell-centered approximate projection, combined with the systematic use of multilevel elliptic solvers to compute increments in the solution generated at boundaries between refinement levels due to ...
متن کاملStability of a Cartesian grid projection method for zero Froude number shallow water flows
In this paper a Godunov-type projection method for computing approximate solutions of the zero Froude number (incompressible) shallow water equations is presented. It is second-order accurate and locally conserves height (mass) and momentum. To enforce the underlying divergence constraint on the velocity field, the predicted numerical fluxes, computed with a standard second order method for hyp...

An efficient and accurate numerical scheme is presented for the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations in primitive variables in a cylinder. The scheme is based on a spectral-Galerkin approximation for the space variables and a second-order projection scheme for time. The new spectral-projection scheme is implemented to simulate unsteady incompressible flows in a cylinder. c © 2002 Elsevier ...
متن کاملGerris: a Tree-based Adaptive Solver for the Incompressible Euler Equations in Complex Geometries
An adaptive mesh projection method for the time-dependent incompressible Euler equations is presented. The domain is spatially discretised using quad/octrees and a multilevel Poisson solver is used to obtain the pressure. Complex solid boundaries are represented using a volume-of-fluid approach. Second-order convergence in space and time is demonstrated on regular, statically and dynamically re...
