An octree-based solver for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with enhanced stability and low dissipation

چکیده
The paper introduces a finite difference solver for the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations based on adaptive cartesian octree grids. The method extends a stable staggered grid finite difference scheme to the graded octree meshes. It is found that a straightforward extension is prone to produce spurious oscillatory velocity modes on the fine-to-coarse grids interfaces. A local linear low-pass filter is shown to reduce much of the bad influence of the interface modes on the accuracy of numerical solution. We introduce an implicit upwind finite difference approximation of advective terms as a low dissipative and stable alternative to semi-Lagrangian methods to treat the transport part of the equations. The performance of method is verified for a set of benchmark tests: a Beltrami type flow, the 3D lid-driven cavity and channel flows around the 3D square cylinder.

متن کاملAn Enhanced Flux Treatment in Solving Incompressible Flow in a Forward-Facing Step
The aim of this paper is to give a detailed effect of several parameters such as step height, Reynolds number, contraction ratio, and temperature difference between the entrance and solid boundaries, of a forward-facing step. An accurate length of separation and reattachment zones are achieved. A finite-volume method (FVM) has been developed to study incompressible flow in a forward-facing step...
متن کاملIncompressible laminar flow computations by an upwind least-squares meshless method
In this paper, the laminar incompressible flow equations are solved by an upwind least-squares meshless method. Due to the difficulties in generating quality meshes, particularly in complex geometries, a meshless method is increasingly used as a new numerical tool. The meshless methods only use clouds of nodes to influence the domain of every node. Thus, they do not require the nodes to be conn...
متن کاملA second order accurate projection method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on non-graded adaptive grids
We present an unconditionally stable second order accurate projection method for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations on non-graded adaptive Cartesian grids. We employ quadtree and octree data structures as an efficient means to represent the grid. We use the supra-convergent Poisson solver of [C.-H. Min, F. Gibou, H. Ceniceros, A supra-convergent finite difference scheme for the variable...
متن کاملNon-Graded Adaptive Grid Approaches to the Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations
We describe two finite difference schemes for simulating incompressible flows on nonuniform meshes using quadtree/octree data structures. The first one uses a cell-centered Poisson solver that yields first-order accurate solutions, while producing symmetric linear systems. The second uses a node-based Poisson solver that produces second-order accurate solutions and second-order accurate gradien...
