Gas-Kinetic BGK Scheme for Three Dimensional Magnetohydrodynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gas-kinetic theory based flux splitting method has been successfully proposed for solving oneand two-dimensional ideal magnetohydrodynamics by Xu et al. [J. Comput. Phys., 1999; 2000], respectively. This paper extends the kinetic method to solve three-dimensional ideal magnetohydrodynamics equations, where an adaptive parameter η is used to control the numerical dissipation in the flux splitting method. Several numerical examples are given to demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve high numerical accuracy and resolve strong discontinuous waves in three dimensional ideal MHD problems.

Gas-kinetic Bgk Method for Three-dimensional Compressible Flows
Gas-kinetic BGK scheme with symmetric limited positive (SLIP) method, which was developed by Xu and Jameson, is modified and extended to three-dimensional compressible flows for the first time. BGK scheme is an approximate Riemann solver that uses collisional Boltzmann equation as the governing equation for flow evolutions. To demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the scheme, it is applied...

During the past decade gas-kinetic methods based on the BGK simplification of the Boltzmann equation have been employed to compute fluid flow in a finite-difference or finite-volume context. Among the most successful formulations is the finite-volume scheme proposed by Xu [K.

متن کاملRayleigh-Bénard simulation using the gas-kinetic Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook scheme in the incompressible limit.
In this paper, a gas-kinetic Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model is constructed for the Rayleigh-Bénard thermal convection in the incompressible flow limit, where the flow field and temperature field are described by two coupled BGK models. Since the collision times in the corresponding BGK models can be different, the Prandtl number can be changed to any value instead of a fixed Pr=1 in the orig...
متن کاملA new gas-kinetic scheme based on analytical solutions of the BGK equation
Up to an arbitrary order of the Chapman–Enskog expansion of the kinetic Bhatnagar– Gross–Krook (BGK) equation, a corresponding analytic solution can be obtained. Based on such a compact exact solution, a new gas-kinetic scheme is constructed for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations. Instead of using a discontinuous initial condition in the gas-kinetic BGK–NS method Xu [K. Xu, A gas-kinetic ...
