Abstract

In this paper we explore the use of a finite scale model of fluid dynamics to predict the finite structure of a shock wave in a perfect gas. We begin by documenting the history and issues that have arisen when Navier–Stokes theory is applied to the shock structure problem, and continue by motivating the improvement that finite scale theory might provide from its representation of inviscid (anomalous) dissipation. Furthermore, our primary results include the formulation of a traveling wave equation from finite scale theory, an analysis of the solutions of that equation as regards shock width and monotonicity properties, and an estimation of the critical parameter of the theory from experimental data.

Coarse-grained simulations of vortex dynamics and transition in complex high-Re flows

Conference Grinstein, Fernando F

Turbulent flow complexity in applications in engineering, geophysics and astrophysics typically requires achieving accurate and dependable large scale predictions of highly nonlinear processes with under-resolved computer simulation models. Laboratory observations typically demonstrate the end outcome of complex non-linear three-dimensional physical processes with many unexplained details and mechanisms. Carefully controlled computational experiments based on the numerical solution of the conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy, provide insights into the underlying flow dynamics. Relevant computational fluid dynamics issues to be addressed relate to the modeling of the unresolved tlow conditions at the subgrid scale (SGS) level - within a computational cell,more »« less

Conservation laws in discrete geometry

Journal Article Margolin, Len G. ; Baty, Roy S. - Journal of Geometric Mechanics

The small length scales of the dissipative processes of physical viscosity and heat conduction are typically not resolved in the numerical simulation of high Reynolds number flows in the discrete geometry of computational grids. Historically, the simulations of flows with shocks and/or turbulence have relied on solving the Euler equations with dissipative regularization. In this paper, we begin by reviewing the regularization strategies used in shock wave calculations in both a Lagrangian and an Eulerian framework. We exhibit the essential similarities with Large Eddy Simulation models of turbulence, namely that almost all of these depend on the square of themore »« less

High order ADER schemes for a unified first order hyperbolic formulation of continuum mechanics: Viscous heat-conducting fluids and elastic solids

Journal Article Dumbser, Michael, E-mail: michael.dumbser@unitn.it ; Peshkov, Ilya, E-mail: peshkov@math.nsc.ru ; Romenski, Evgeniy, E-mail: evrom@math.nsc.ru ; ... - Journal of Computational Physics

Highlights: • High order schemes for a unified first order hyperbolic formulation of continuum mechanics. • The mathematical model applies simultaneously to fluid mechanics and solid mechanics. • Viscous fluids are treated in the frame of hyper-elasticity as generalized visco-plastic solids. • Formal asymptotic analysis reveals the connection with the Navier–Stokes equations. • The distortion tensor A in the model appears to be well-suited for flow visualization. - Abstract: This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of the unified first order hyperbolic formulation of continuum mechanics recently proposed by Peshkov and Romenski [110], further denoted as HPR model.

Regularized Chapman-Enskog expansion for scalar conservation laws. Final report

Technical Report Schochet, S. ; Tadmor, E.

Rosenau has recently proposed a regularized version of the Chapman-Enskog expansion of hydrodynamics. This regularized expansion resembles the usual Navier-Stokes viscosity terms at law wave-numbers, but unlike the latter, it has the advantage of being a bounded macroscopic approximation to the linearized collision operator. The behavior of Rosenau regularization of the Chapman-Enskog expansion (RCE) is studied in the context of scalar conservation laws. It is shown that thie RCE model retains the essential properties of the usual viscosity approximation, e.g., existence of traveling waves, monotonicity, upper-Lipschitz continuity..., and at the same time, it sharpens the standard viscous shock layers.

Comparison of the generalized Riemann solver and the gas-kinetic scheme for inviscid compressible flow simulations

Journal Article Li Jiequan, E-mail: jiequan@bnu.edu.c ; Li Qibing, E-mail: lqb@tsinghua.edu.c ; Xu Kun, E-mail: makxu@ust.h - Journal of Computational Physics

The generalized Riemann problem (GRP) scheme for the Euler equations and gas-kinetic scheme (GKS) for the Boltzmann equation are two high resolution shock capturing schemes for fluid simulations. The difference is that one is based on the characteristics of the inviscid Euler equations and their wave interactions, and the other is based on the particle transport and collisions. The similarity between them is that both methods can use identical MUSCL-type initial reconstructions around a cell interface, and the spatial slopes on both sides of a cell interface involve in the gas evolution process and the construction of a time-dependent fluxmore »« less
