Lagrangian Finite Element Analysis of Newtonian Fluid Flows

چکیده
A fully Lagrangian nite element method for the analysis of Newtonian ows is developed. The approach furnishes, in e ect, a Lagrangian implementation of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations. As the ow proceeds, the mesh is maintained undistorted through continuous and adaptive remeshing of the uid mass. The principal advantage of the present approach lies in the treatment of boundary conditions at material surfaces such as free boundaries, uid= uid or uid=solid interfaces. In contrast to Eulerian approaches, boundary conditions are enforced at material surfaces ab initio and therefore require no special attention. Consistent tangents are obtained for Lagrangian implicit analysis of a Newtonian uid ow which may exhibit compressibility e ects. The accuracy of the approach is assessed by comparison of the solution for a sloshing problem with existing numerical results and its versatility demonstrated through a simulation of wave breaking. The nite element mesh is maintained undistorted throughout the computation by recourse to frequent and adaptive remeshing ? 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Numerical Simulation of Non-Newtonian Inelastic Flows in Channel based on Artificial Compressibility Method
In this study, inelastic constitutive modelling is considered for the simulation of shear-thinning fluids through a circular channel. Numerical solutions are presented for power-law inelastic model, considering axisymmetric Poiseuille flow through a channel. The numerical simulation of such fluid is performed by using the Galerkin finite element approach based on artificial compression method (...
متن کاملFinite element error estimation for quasi-Newtonian fluid-structure interaction problems
We consider a monolithic scheme for fluid–structure interaction problems involving an incompressible quasi-Newtonian fluid. The monolithic formulation is obtained using the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method with matching conditions at the fluid–structure interface. The stability and error analysis are performed for the finite element approximation. Finally, some numerical experiments t...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation and Analysis of Incompressible Newtonian Fluid Flows using FreeFem++
We present the analysis and numerical simulations of incompressible Newtonian fluids for unsteady flows in a straight pipe and in deformed pipe with concave and convex deformation of the upper wall. An approach of modeling of blood flow is considered with an unsteady Navier-Stokes problem with a pulsatile flow for which we can establish analogy with existing cardio vascular systems. We apply th...
متن کاملNewtonian and Non-Newtonian Blood Flow Simulation after Arterial Stenosis- Steady State and Pulsatile Approaches
Arterial stenosis, for example Atherosclerosis, is one of the most serious forms of arterial disease in the formation of which hemodynamic factors play a significant role. In the present study, a 3-D rigid carotid artery with axisymmetric stenosis with 75% reduction in cross-sectional area is considered. Laminar blood flow is assumed to have both Newtonian and non-Newtonian behavior (generalize...
متن کاملDiscontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Approximation of Quasilinear Elliptic Boundary Value Problems Ii: Strongly Monotone Quasi-newtonian Flows
In this article we develop both the a priori and a posteriori error analysis of hp– version interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for strongly monotone quasi-Newtonian fluid flows in a bounded Lipschitz domain Ω ⊂ R, d = 2, 3. In the latter case, computable upper and lower bounds on the error are derived in terms of a natural energy norm which are explicit in the local ...
