Benchmarking FEMLAB 3.0a: Laminar Flows in 2D
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently, version 3.0a of the software package FEMLAB for solving multiphysics partial differential equations was released. In the present project we compared its performance with the previous release 2.3 and the package Fluent 6.1 in stationary laminar flow benchmark problems in two and three dimensions. It turns out that the new version is an essential improvement over the old version. It is much faster then Fluent in 2D

Integrated Building Physics Simulation with Femlab/simulink/matlab
The combined MatLab toolboxes FemLab and Simulink are evaluated as solvers for problems based on partial differential equations (PDEs). The FemLab software is designed to simulate systems of coupled PDEs, 1D, 2D or 3D, non-linear and time dependent. In order to show how the program works, a complete code for solving a 2D airflow problem is given. A validation study of this 2D dynamic airflow pr...
متن کاملA comparative study of the LBE and GKS methods for 2D near incompressible laminar flows
We compare the lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) and the gas-kinetic scheme (GKS) applied to 2D incompressible laminar flows. Although both methods are derived from the Boltzmann equation thus share a common kinetic origin, numerically they are rather different. The LBE is a finite difference method, while the GKS is a finite-volume one. In addition, the LBE is valid for near incompressible flow...
متن کاملDevelopment length of laminar magnetohydrodynamics pipe flows
In this article, a laminar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) developing flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid subjected to an external magnetic field is considered. The aim of the study is to propose a correlation for computing the development length of the laminar MHD developing flow in a pipe. A numerical approach is considered to solve the problem. In the first step, the numerical...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Separation Bubble on Elliptic Cylinders Using Three-equation k-? Turbulence Model
Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann simulations of 2D laminar flows past two tandem cylinders
We apply the lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) with multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) collision model to simulate laminar flows in two-dimensions (2D). In order to simulate flows in an unbounded domain with the LBE method, we need to address two issues: stretched nonuniform mesh and inflow and outflow boundary conditions. We use the interpolated grid stretching method to address the need of non-uni...
