Numerical analysis of a free piston problem ∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem considered is the Stokes and Navier-Stokes flow through a system of two pipes in the gravity field; inside a vertical pipe there is a free heavy piston. Theoretical analysis, the existence and non-uniqueness of solution, has been completed recently by the authors. Here we present numerical analysis, using finite elements methods, of the stationary state with respect to the angle between the two pipes, diameters of the pipes, search for solution of a full problem and search for bifurcation points. The analysis is carried out for both, 2D and 3D, and for Stokes and Navier-Stokes case. AMS subject classifications: 65N30, 65N99, 76D05

متن کاملOn a Free Piston Problem for Stokes and Navier-stokes Equations
Our goal is to model and analyze a stationary fluid flow through the junction of two pipes in the gravity field. Inside ’vertical’ pipe there is a heavy piston which can freely move along the pipe. We are interested in the equilibrium position of the piston in dependence on geometry of junction. Fluid is modeled with the Navier-Stokes equations and the piston is modeled as a rigid body. We form...
