A Kinematics Scalar Projection Method (KSP) for Incompressible Flows with Variable Density
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new scalar projection method presented for simulating incompressible flows with variable density is proposed. It reverses conventional projection algorithm by computing first the irrotational component of the velocity and then the pressure. The first phase of the projection is purely kinematics. The predicted velocity field is subjected to a discrete Hodge-Helmholtz decomposition. The second phase of upgrade of pressure from the density uses Stokes’ theorem to explicitly compute the pressure. If all or part of the boundary conditions is then fixed on the divergence free physical field, the system required to be solved for the scalar potential of velocity becomes a Poisson equation with constant coefficients fitted with Dirichlet conditions.

Vector and scalar penalty-projection methods - for incompressible and variable density flows
This work deals with the solution of Navier-Stokes equations governing incompressible flows with variable density, e.g. [10], or dilatable flows for which the Boussinesq approximation is no more valid like low Mach number flows, e.g. [5]. In these cases, the divergence constraint makes the fully-coupled system to solve at each time step for the velocity and dynamic pressure very ill-conditioned...
متن کاملIncompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations on free surface flows
The water wave generation by wave paddle and a freely falling rigid body are examined by using an Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH). In the current ISPH method, the pressure was evaluated by solving pressure Poisson equation using a semi-implicit algorithm based on the projection scheme and the source term of pressure Poisson equation contains both of divergence free ve...
متن کاملA fast vector penalty-projection method for incompressible non-homogeneous or multiphase Navier-Stokes problems
We present a new fast vector penalty-projection method (VPPε) to efficiently compute the solution of unsteady NavierStokes problems governing incompressible multiphase viscous flows with variable density and/or viscosity. The key idea of the method is to compute at each time step an accurate and curl-free approximation of the pressure gradient increment in time. This method performs a two-step ...
متن کاملAn adaptive pressure correction method without spurious velocities for diffuse-interface models of incompressible flows
In this article, we propose to study two issues associated with the use of the incremental projection method for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation. The first one is the combination of this time splitting algorithm with an adaptive local refinement method. The second one is the reduction of spurious velocities due to the right-hand side of the momentum balance. We propose a new v...
متن کاملA Variable-density Projection Method for Interfacial Flows
General second-order, variable-density, three-step and four-step projection methods are developed to simulate unsteady incompressible interfacial flows. A high-accuracy, variabledensity RKCN projection method is presented, in which the three-stage, low-storage RungeKutta technique and second-order semi-implicit Crank-Nicholson technique are employed to temporally update the convective and diffu...
