Abstract

In this study, we describe a new algorithm for solving multi-material diffusion problem when material interfaces are not aligned with the mesh. In this case interface reconstruction methods are used to construct approximate representation of interfaces between materials. They produce so-called multi-material cells, in which materials are represented by material polygons that contain only one material. The reconstructed interface is not continuous between cells. Finally, we suggest the new method for solving multi-material diffusion problems on such meshes and compare its performance with known homogenization methods.

A higher order approximate static condensation method for multi-material diffusion problems

Journal Article Zhiliakov, Aleksandr ; Svyatsky, Daniil ; Olshanskii, Maxim ; ... - Journal of Computational Physics

The paper studies an approximate static condensation method for the diffusion problem with discontinuous diffusion coefficients. The method allows for a general polygonal mesh which is unfitted to the material interfaces. Moreover, the interfaces can be discontinuous across the mesh edges as typical for numerical reconstructions using the volume or moment-of-fluid methods. We apply a mimetic finite difference method to solve local diffusion problems and use P₁ (mortar) edge elements to couple local problems into the global system. The condensation process and the properties of the resulting algebraic system are discussed. It is demonstrated that the method is second ordermore »« less

Some New Verification Test Problems for Multimaterial Diffusion on Meshes that are Non-Aligned with Material Boundaries

Technical Report Dawes, Alan Sidney ; Malone, Christopher M. ; Shashkov, Mikhail Jurievich

In this report a number of new verification test problems for multimaterial diffusion will be shown. Using them we will show that homogenization of multimaterial cells in either Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) or Eulerian simulations can lead to errors in the energy flow at the interfaces. Results will be presented that show that significant improvements and predictive capability can be gained by using either a surrogate supermesh, such as Thin Mesh in FLAG, or the emerging method based on Static Condensation.

Establishing mesh topology in multi-material cells: enabling technology for robust and accurate multi-material simulations

Journal Article Kikinzon, Evgeny ; Shashkov, Mikhail Jurievich ; Garimella, Rao Veerabhadra - Computers and Fluids

Real world problems are typically multi-material, combining materials such as gases, liquids and solids that have very different properties. The material interfaces may be fixed in time or can be a part of the solution, as in fluid-structure interactions or air-water dynamics, and therefore move and change shape. In such problems the computational mesh may be non-conformal to interfaces due to complexity of these interfaces, presence of small fractions of materials, or because the mesh does not move with the flow, as in the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) methods. In order to solve problems of interest on such meshes, interface reconstructionmore »« less

Non-Diffusive Volume Advection with A High Order Interface Reconstruction Method

Technical Report Liu, J. W. ; Yao, J.

We show that non-diffusive volume advection in two-dimensions is achieved with several benchmark problems using a newly developed high-order volume of fluids (VOF) interface reconstruction method. (1) A new VOF interface reconstruction method using circular/corner facets (linear facets are a degenerate case of arcs). We create a circular interface facet in each mixed zone by matching neighbor volume with a hybrid Newton’s-bisection method and the local solution is final. In the general case, the new VOF interface reconstruction has 3rd order accuracy and can be easily made seamless. The new method addresses intrinsic issues with Young’s method such as gapsmore »« less

Multi-material hydrodynamics with algebraic sharp interface capturing

Journal Article Pandare, Aditya Kiran ; Waltz, Jacob I. ; Bakosi, Jozsef - Computers and Fluids

A finite volume method for Eulerian multi-material hydrodynamics with sharp interface capturing is presented here. The pressure-temperature non-equilibrium multi-material system with finite-rate pressure relaxation in mixed-cells is considered here. This pressure closure facilitates material-property-dependent pressure relaxation, rather than instantaneous pressure equilibration, which in turn allows the use of unsplit high-order time-integrators. A modified tangent of hyperbola for interface capturing (THINC) method is used to reconstruct multi-material (> 2) interfaces, on three-dimensional unstructured meshes. A simple modification which extends the THINC reconstruction to interfaces between more than two materials is proposed. It is demonstrated that the modified THINC can capture multi-materialmore »« less
