Plane Couette Flow Computations by TRMC and MFS Methods

چکیده
Abstract. A new class of schemes of the DSMC type for computing near-continuum flows has been recently suggested: the time-relaxed Monte Carlo (TRMC) methods. An important step preceding the wide use of these schemes is their validation by classical homogeneous and one-dimensional problems of gas dynamics. For this purpose, a plane Couette flow is considered in the present paper. A comparison of TRMC results with the data obtained by time-proved schemes of the DSMC method (here we used the Majorant Frequency Scheme) in a wide range of Knudsen numbers and for different values of wall velocity is presented.

Development of a novel method in TRMC for a Binary Gas Flow Inside a Rotating Cylinder
A new approach to calculate the axially symmetric binary gas flow is proposed Dalton’s law for partial pressures contributed by each species of a binary gas mixture (argon and helium) is incorporated into numerical simulation of rarefied axially symmetric flow inside a rotating cylinder using the time relaxed Monte-Carlo (TRMC) scheme and the direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) method. The res...
متن کاملThe dynamics of transition to turbulence in plane Couette flow
In plane Couette flow, the incompressible fluid between two plane parallel walls is driven by the motion of those walls. The laminar solution, in which the streamwise velocity varies linearly in the wall-normal direction, is known to be linearly stable at all Reynolds numbers (Re). Yet, in both experiments and computations, turbulence is observed for Re & 360. In this article, we show that when...
متن کاملImplementation of a Pressure Poisson Equation method for Plane Couette Flow
This paper discusses my work through December 2004 to implement Johnston and Liu’s Pressure Poisson Equation (PPE) method[1] for Plane Couette flow. Also, I discuss some results and plans for implementing a periodic orbit search. The advantage of this method is that it decouples the computation of velocity and pressure at each time step by treating the pressure term explicitly in time. The proj...
متن کاملLinear stability of viscous supersonic plane Couette flow
The linear stability of viscous compressible plane Couette flow is not well understood even though the stability of incompressible Couette flow has been studied extensively and has been shown to be stable to linear disturbances. In this paper, the viscous linear stability of supersonic Couette flow for a perfect gas governed by Sutherland viscosity law was studied using two global methods to so...
متن کاملUnsteady free convection oscillatory couette flow through a variable porous medium with concentration profile
In this paper we have studied the effect of free convection on the heat transfer and flow through variable porous medium which is bounded by two vertical parallel porous plates. In this study it is assume that free stream velocity oscillates with time about a constant mean. Periodic temperature is considered in the moving plate. Effect of different parameters on mean flow velocity, Transient ve...
