Abstract

Virtual Flow Solver - Geophysics (VFS-Geophysics) is a three-dimensional (3D) incompressible Navier-Stokes solver based on the Curvilinear Immersed Boundary (CURVIB) method. The CURVIB is a sharp interface type of immersed boundary (IB) method that enables the simulation of fluid flows in the presence of geometrically complex moving bodies. The CURVIB method can be applied to wind/MHK turbine simulations and energy applications. VFS-Geophysics is the result of many years of research work by several graduate students, post-docs, and research associates that have been involved in the Computational Hydrodynamics and Biofluids Laboratory directed by Professor Fotis Sotiropoulos. The preparation of the present manual has been supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DE-EE 0005482).

A parallel incompressible Navier-Stokes solver with multigrid iterations

Conference Lou, J Z

We developed a parallel, numerically accurate and stable, and computationally efficient finite-difference incompressible Navier-Stokes (N-S) fluid flow solver. The solver runs on both sequential and massively parallel computers. The numerical method used here is a second-order projection method on a staggered grid. A multigrid scheme is used to speed up the solutions of velocity and pressure equations at each time step. A domain-decomposition strategy is used for parallelizing both the projection method and the multigrid scheme on fine and coarse grids. The solver runs on any (logical) rectangular processor meshes. The parallel solver was implemented in C with Intel NXmore »« less
Development of Tearing Instability in a Current Sheet Forming by Sheared Incompressible Flow

Dataset Tolman, Elizabeth A. ; Loureiro, Nuno F. ; Uzdensky, Dmitri A.

Sweet-Parker current sheets in high Lundquist number plasmas are unstable to tearing, suggesting they will not form in physical systems. Understanding magnetic reconnection thus requires study of the stability of a current sheet as it forms. Formation can occur due to sheared, sub-Alfvenic incompressible flows which narrow the sheet. Standard tearing theory (Furth et al. 1963; Coppi et al. 1976; Rutherford 1973) is not immediately applicable to such forming sheets for two reasons: first, because the flow introduces terms not present in the standard calculation; second, because the changing equilibrium introduces time dependence to terms which are constant in themore »« less
EGS Collab: 3D Geophysical Model Around the Sanford Underground Research Facility

Dataset Chai, Chengping

This package contains data associated with a proceedings paper (linked below) submitted to the 44th Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering. The Geophysical Model text file contains density, P- and S-wave seismic speeds on a 3D grid. The file has six columns and provides latitude (degree), longitude (degree), depth (km), P-wave speed (km/s), S-wave speed (km/s), and density (g/cm^3) at each grid point. The Interactive Geophysical Model API file is an interactive visualization of the 3D geophysical model. The visualization allows users to view depth slices and vertical profiles of the model side by side. The depth of the slices andmore »« less
Navier-Stokes Solvers and Generalizations for Reacting Flow Problems

Technical Report Elman, Howard C.

This is an overview of our accomplishments during the final term of this grant (1 September 2008 -- 30 June 2012). These fall mainly into three categories: fast algorithms for linear eigenvalue problems; solution algorithms and modeling methods for partial differential equations with uncertain coefficients; and preconditioning methods and solvers for models of computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
Navier-Stokes solver for cascade flows. Final report

Technical Report Swanson, R C

A computer code for solving the Reynolds averaged full Navier-Stokes equations has been developed and applied using sheared H-type grids. The Baldwin-Lomax eddy-viscosity model is used for turbulence closure. The integration in time is based on an explicit four-stage Runge-Kutta scheme. Local time stepping, variable coefficient implicit residual smoothing, and a full multigrid method have been implemented to accelerate steady state calculations. Comparisons with experimental data show that the code is an accurate viscous solver and can give very good blade-to-blade predictions for engineering applications in less than 100 multigrid cycles on the finest mesh.
