A Level Set Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Free Surface Flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a discontinuous Galerkin method on a fully unstructured grid for the modeling of unsteady incompressible fluid flows with free surfaces. The surface is modeled by embedding and represented by a levelset. We discuss the discretization of the flow equations and the level set equation as well a various ways of advancing the equations in time using velocity projection techniques. The efficacy of the method for the representation of the levelset and its reinitialization is discussed and several numerical tests confirm the robustness and versatility of the proposed scheme.

A numerical method for the simulation of three-dimensional incompressible twophase flows is presented. The proposed algorithm combines an implicit pressure stabilized finite element method for the solution of incompressible two-phase flow problems with a level set method implemented with a quadrature-free Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method [1]. The use of a fast contouring algorithm [2] permits...

A novel numerical method for solving three-dimensional two phase flow problems is presented. This method combines a quadrature free discontinuous Galerkin method for the level set equation with a pressure stabilized finite element method for the Navier Stokes equations. The main challenge in the computation of such flows is the accurate evaluation of surface tension forces. This involves the co...
متن کاملA Gpu Accelerated Discontinuous Galerkin Approach to Conservative Level Sets
We present a GPU-accelerated, arbitrary-order, nearly quadrature-free, Runge-Kutta (RK) discontinuous Galerkin (DG) approach to interface capturing for atomizing multiphase flows via the conservative level set (CLS) method [3, 4]. An arbitrary-order DG numerical method is utilized for both advection and reinitialization, further developing the ideas of [1] by implementing a quadrature-free appr...
متن کاملA quadrature-free discontinuous Galerkin method for the level set equation
A quadrature free, Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method (QF-RK-DGM) is developed to solve the level set equation written in a conservative form on twoand tri-dimensional unstructured grids. We show that the DGM implementation of the level set approach brings a lot of additional benefits as compared to traditional ENO level set realizations. Some examples of computations are provided that d...
