Accuracy of Projection Methods for the Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
Numerous papers have appeared in the literature over the past thirty years discussing projection-type methods for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. A recurring difficulty encountered is the proper choice of boundary conditions for the auxiliary variables in order to obtain at least second order accuracy in the computed solution. A further issue is the formula for the pressure correction at each timestep. An overview of boundary condition choices that give second-order convergence for all solution variables is presented here based on recently published results by Brown, Cortez and Minion [2].

On Pressure Approximation via Projection Methods for Nonstationary Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations
Projection methods are an efficient tool to approximate strong solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations; as a major deficiency, these methods often suffer from reduced accuracy of pressure updates caused by nonphysical boundary data. After a short review, quantitative control of arising boundary layers in Chorin’s scheme is given under realistic regularity assumptions. Then, we p...
متن کاملAn accurate and efficient method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using the projection method as a preconditioner
The projection method is a widely used fractional-step algorithm for solving the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. Despite numerous improvements to the methodology, however, imposing physical boundary conditions with projection-based fluid solvers remains difficult, and obtaining high-order accuracy may not be possible for some choices of boundary conditions. In this work, we present an u...
متن کاملTurbulent Flow over Cars
In this paper the flow behaviour over a number of car bodies is studied. For this purpose the unsteady 2-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations have been applied. After averaging and nondimensionalizing the equations, the system of equations has been transformed from the Cartesian (x-y) coordinates to a body fitted generalized (-) coordinate. As the flow is incompressible, the density in the ...
متن کاملConvergence of a finite volume scheme for the incompressible fluids
We consider a finite volume scheme for the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We use a triangular mesh. The unknowns for the velocity and pressure are respectively piecewise constant and affine. We use a projection method to deal with the incompressibility constraint. The stability of the scheme has been proven in [15]. We infer from it its convergence. Mathematics Subject ...
متن کاملA fourth-order approximate projection method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on locally-refined periodic domains
In this follow-up of our previous work [Zhang et. al., A fourth-order accurate finitevolume method with structured adaptive mesh refinement for solving the advectiondiffusion equation, SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 34 (2012) B179-B201], the author proposes a high-order semi-implicit method for numerically solving the incompressible NavierStokes equations on locally-refined periodic domains. Fourth-order...
