Gerris: a Tree-based Adaptive Solver for the Incompressible Euler Equations in Complex Geometries
نویسنده
چکیده
An adaptive mesh projection method for the time-dependent incompressible Euler equations is presented. The domain is spatially discretised using quad/octrees and a multilevel Poisson solver is used to obtain the pressure. Complex solid boundaries are represented using a volume-of-fluid approach. Second-order convergence in space and time is demonstrated on regular, statically and dynamically refined grids. The quad/octree discretisation proves to be very flexible and allows accurate and efficient tracking of flow features. The source code of the method implementation is freely available.

Incompressible 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...

1 Abstract Many problems in uid dynamics have domains with complicated internal or external boundaries of the ow. Here we present a method for calculating time-dependent incompressible inviscid ow using a \Cartesian grid" approach for representing geometry. In this approach, the body is represented as an interface embedded in a regular Cartesian mesh. The basic algorithm is a fractional-step pr...

We present an adaptive, finite volume algorithm to solve the incompressible NavierStokes equations in complex geometries. The algorithm is based on the embedded boundary method in which finite volume approximations are used to discretize the solution in cut cells that result from intersecting the irregular boundary with a structured Cartesian grid. This approach is conservative and reduces to a...

متن کاملAn Adaptively-Refined Cartesian Mesh Solver for the Euler Equations
A method for adaptive refinement of a Cartesian mesh for the solution of the steady Euler equations is presented. The algorithm creates an initial uniform mesh and cuts the body out of that mesh. The mesh is then refined based on body curvature. Next, the solution is converged to a steady state using a linear reconstruction and Roe's a p proximate Riemann solver. Solution-adaptive refinement of...
