High order numerical methods for a unified theory of fluid and solid mechanicsChiocchetti, Simone 10 June 2022 (has links)
This dissertation is a contribution to the development of a unified model of
continuum mechanics, describing both fluids and elastic solids as a general
continua, with a simple material parameter choice being the distinction
between inviscid or viscous fluid, or elastic solids or visco-elasto-plastic
media. Additional physical effects such as surface tension, rate-dependent
material failure and fatigue can be, and have been, included in the same
formalism.
The model extends a hyperelastic formulation of solid mechanics in
Eulerian coordinates to fluid flows by means of stiff algebraic relaxation
source terms. The governing equations are then solved by means of high
order ADER Discontinuous Galerkin and Finite Volume schemes on fixed
Cartesian meshes and on moving unstructured polygonal meshes with
adaptive connectivity, the latter constructed and moved by means of a in-
house Fortran library for the generation of high quality Delaunay and Voronoi
meshes.
Further, the thesis introduces a new family of exponential-type and semi-
analytical time-integration methods for the stiff source terms governing
friction and pressure relaxation in Baer-Nunziato compressible multiphase
flows, as well as for relaxation in the unified model of continuum mechanics,
associated with viscosity and plasticity, and heat conduction effects.
Theoretical consideration about the model are also given, from the
solution of weak hyperbolicity issues affecting some special cases of the
governing equations, to the computation of accurate eigenvalue estimates, to
the discussion of the geometrical structure of the equations and involution
constraints of curl type, then enforced both via a GLM curl cleaning method,
and by means of special involution-preserving discrete differential operators,
implemented in a semi-implicit framework.
Concerning applications to real-world problems, this thesis includes
simulation ranging from low-Mach viscous two-phase flow, to shockwaves in
compressible viscous flow on unstructured moving grids, to diffuse interface
crack formation in solids.
