A fully semi-Lagrangian discretization for the 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the vorticity-streamfunction formulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A numerical method for the two-dimensional, incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in vorticity-streamfunction form is proposed, which employs semi-Lagrangian discretizations for both the advection and diffusion terms, thus achieving unconditional stability without the need to solve linear systems beyond that required by the Poisson solver for the reconstruction of the streamfunction. A description of the discretization of Dirichlet boundary conditions for the semi-Lagrangian approach to diffusion terms is also presented. Numerical experiments on classical benchmarks for incompressible flow in simple geometries validate the proposed method. © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

A pure-compact scheme for the streamfunction formulation of Navier–Stokes equations
A pure-streamfunction formulation is introduced for the numerical simulation of the two-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The idea is to replace the vorticity in the vorticity-streamfunction evolution equation by the Laplacian of the streamfunction. The resulting formulation includes the streamfunction only, thus no inter-function relations need to be invoked. A compact numeri...

متن کاملA mass, energy, enstrophy and vorticity conserving (MEEVC) mimetic spectral element discretization for the 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations
In this work we present a mimetic spectral element discretization for the 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations that in the limit of vanishing dissipation exactly preserves mass, kinetic energy, enstrophy and total vorticity on unstructured grids. The essential ingredients to achieve this are: (i) a velocity-vorticity formulation in rotational form, (ii) a sequence of function spaces capabl...
متن کاملA new paradigm for solving Navier–Stokes equations: streamfunction–velocity formulation
In this paper, we propose a new paradigm for solving Navier–Stokes equations. The proposed methodology is based on a streamfunction–velocity formulation of the two-dimensional steady-state Navier–Stokes equations representing incompressible fluid flows in two-dimensional domains. Similar formulations are also possible for three-dimensional fluid flows. The main advantage of our formulation is t...
