Numerical modeling of convection suitable for nite volume methods for steady-state, multidimensional, incompressible, turbulent ows is considered. Two methods used to achieve higher order accurate and oscillation-free solutions are discussed, namely ux limiting and variable normalization. A uniied formulation, which brings together most existing higher order monotonicity preserving schemes, is ...

This paper presents a discontinuous Galerkin BGK (DGBGK) method for both viscous and inviscid flow simulations under a DG framework with a gas-kinetic flux and WENO limiters. In the DGBGK method, the construction of the flux in the DG method is based on the particle transport and collisional mechanism which not only couples the convective and dissipative terms together, but also includes both d...

The arterial wall is a composite where the preferred orientation of collagen fibers induces anisotropy. Though the hyperelastic theories of fiber-reinforced composites reached a high level of sophistication and showed a reasonable correspondence with the available experimental data they are short of the failure description. Following the tradition of strength of materials the failure criteria a...

It is still an open problem to prove a priori error estimates for finite volume schemes of higher order MUSCL type, including limiters, on unstructured meshes, which show some improvement compared to first order schemes. In this paper we use these higher order schemes for the discretization of convection dominated elliptic problems in a convex bounded domain Ω in IR2 and we can prove such kind ...

This paper presents new linearity-preserving nodal limiters for enforcing discrete maximum principles in continuous (linear or bilinear) finite element approximations to transport problems with steep fronts. In the process of algebraic flux correction, the oscillatory antidiffusive part of a high-order base discretization is decomposed into a set of internodal fluxes and constrained to be local...

We analyze the energy stability of the standard MUSCL scheme. The analysis is possible by reformulating the MUSCL scheme in the framework of summation-by-parts (SBP) operators including an artificial dissipation. The effect of different slope limiters is studied. It is found that all the slope limiters do not lead to the correct sign of the entries in the dissipation matrix. The implication of ...

A high-order, conservative, yet efficient method named the spectral volume (SV) method is developed for conservation laws on unstructured grids. The concept of a “spectral volume” is introduced to achieve high-order accuracy in an efficient manner similar to spectral element and multidomain spectral methods. Each spectral volume is further subdivided into control volumes, and cell-averaged data...

The main issues in this dissertation are the behaviour of current limiters protecting synchronous generators, and the interactions that occur with other components in the power system during a voltage instability. The importance of these limiters for the voltage stability is shown both in the analysis of small models and in the simulations of larger networks. Voltage stability of a power system...
