Non-oscillatory forward-in-time method for incompressible flows

Cao, Zhixin January 2018 (has links)
This research extends the capabilities of Non-oscillatory Forward-in-Time (NFT) solvers operating on unstructured meshes to allow for accurate simulation of incompressible turbulent flows. This is achieved by the development of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) turbulent flow methodologies and the development of parallel option of the flow solver. The effective use of LES and DES requires a development of a subgrid-scale model. Several subgrid-scale models are implemented and studied, and their efficacy is assessed. The NFT solvers employed in this work are based on the Multidimensional Positive Definite Advection Transport Algorithm (MPDATA) that facilitates novel implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES) approach to treating turbulence. The flexibility and robustness of the new NFT MPDATA solver are studied and successfully validated using well established benchmarks and concentrate on a flow past a sphere. The flow statistics from the solutions are compared against the existing experimental and numerical data and fully confirm the validity of the approach. The parallel implementation of the flow solver is also documented and verified showing a substantial speedup of computations. The proposed method lays foundations for further studies and developments, especially for exploring the potential of MPDATA in the context of ILES and associated treatments of boundary conditions at solid boundaries.

Novel Upwind and Central Schemes for Various Hyperbolic Systems

Garg, Naveen Kumar January 2017 (has links) (PDF)
The class of hyperbolic conservation laws model the phenomena of non-linear wave propagation, including the presence and propagation of discontinuities and expansion waves. Such nonlinear systems can generate discontinuities in the so-lution even for smooth initial conditions. Presence of discontinuities results in break down of a solution in the classical sense and to show existence, weak for-mulation of a problem is required. Moreover, closed form solutions are di cult to obtain and in some cases such solutions are even unavailable. Thus, numerical algorithms play an important role in solving such systems. There are several dis-cretization techniques to solve hyperbolic systems numerically and Finite Volume Method (FVM) is one of such important frameworks. Numerical algorithms based on FVM are broadly classi ed into two categories, central discretization methods and upwind discretization methods. Various upwind and central discretization methods developed so far di er widely in terms of robustness, accuracy and ef-ciency and an ideal scheme with all these characteristics is yet to emerge. In this thesis, novel upwind and central schemes are formulated for various hyper-bolic systems, with the aim of maintaining right balance between accuracy and robustness. This thesis is divided into two parts. First part consists of the formulation of upwind methods to simulate genuine weakly hyperbolic (GWH) systems. Such systems do not possess full set of linearly independent (LI) eigenvectors and some of the examples include pressureless gas dynamics system, modi ed Burgers' sys-tem and further modi ed Burgers' system. The main challenge while formulating an upwind solver for GWH systems, using the concept of Flux Di erence Splitting (FDS), is to recover full set of LI eigenvectors, which is done through addition of generalized eigenvectors using the theory of Jordan Canonical Forms. Once the defective set of LI eigenvectors are completed, a novel (FDS-J) solver is for-mulated in such a manner that it is independent of generalized eigenvectors, as they are not unique. FDS-J solver is capable of capturing various shocks such as -shocks, 0-shocks and 00-shocks accurately. In this thesis, the FDS-J schemes are proposed for those GWH systems each of which have one particular repeated eigenvalue with arithmetic multiplicity (AM) greater than one. Moreover, each ux Jacobian matrix corresponding to such systems is similar to a unique Jordan matrix. After the successful treatment of genuine weakly hyperbolic systems, this strategy is further applied to those weakly hyperbolic subsystems which result on employ-ing various convection-pressure splittings to the Euler ux function. For example, Toro-Vazquez (TV) splitting and Zha-Bilgen (ZB) type splitting approaches to split the Euler ux function yield genuine weakly hyperbolic convective parts and strict hyperbolic pressure parts. Moreover, the ux Jacobian of each convective part is similar to a Jordan matrix with at least two lower order Jordan blocks. Based on the lines of FDS-J scheme, we develop two numerical schemes for Eu-ler equations using TV splitting and ZB type splitting. Both the new ZBS-FDS and TVS-FDS schemes are tested on various 1-D shock tube problems and out of two, contact capturing ZBS-FDS scheme is extended to 2-dimensional Euler system where it is tested successfully on various test cases including many shock instability problems. Second part of the thesis is associated with the development of simple, robust and accurate central solvers for systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. The idea of splitting schemes together with the notion of FDS is not easily extendable to systems such as shallow water equations. Thus, a novel central solver Convection Isolated Discontinuity Recognizing Algorithm (CIDRA) is formulated for shallow water equations. As the name suggests, the convective ux is isolated from the total ux in such a way that other ux, in present case other ux represents celerity part, must possess non-zero eigenvalue contribution. FVM framework is applied to each part separately and ux equivalence principle is used to x the coe cient of numerical di usion. CIDRA for SWE is computed on various 1-D and 2-D benchmark problems and extended to Euler systems e ortlessly. As a further improvement, a scalar di usion based algorithm CIDRA-1 is designed for v Euler systems. The scalar di usion coe cient depends on that particular part of the Rankine-Hugoniot (R-H) condition which involves total energy of the system as a direct contribution. This algorithm is applied to a variety of shock tube test cases including a class of low density ow problems and also to various 2-D test problems successfully. vi

Aerodynamická analýza a optimalizace konfigurace letounu ARES / Aerodynamic analysis and shape optimization of ARES aircraft

Foltýn, Pavel January 2015 (has links)
This thesis deals with the aerodynamic analysis and shape modifications of the ARES aircraft. The analysis focuses on the evaluation lift, drag, and pitching moment coefficient, and further to identify the locations of stripping stream which is characterized by high drag. Before the analysis calibration of the CFD solver is done with the model, which has been measured in the wind tunnel. The aim of calibration is to verify the accuracy and veracity of the methodology used in mesh creation and calculated values. Calculated values are compared with measured data. The shape modifications of the aircraft are focused on conceptual design of the suction inlets for cooling radiators and engine aircraft. Aerodynamic analysis is performed with the modified model in order to determine the variation of lift, drag and pitching moment coefficient from its original configuration.

Fast High-order Integral Equation Solvers for Acoustic and Electromagnetic Scattering Problems

Alharthi, Noha 18 November 2019 (has links)
Acoustic and electromagnetic scattering from arbitrarily shaped structures can be numerically characterized by solving various surface integral equations (SIEs). One of the most effective techniques to solve SIEs is the Nyström method. Compared to other existing methods,the Nyström method is easier to implement especially when the geometrical discretization is non-conforming and higher-order representations of the geometry and unknowns are desired. However,singularities of the Green’s function are more difficult to”manage”since they are not ”smoothened” through the use of a testing function. This dissertation describes purely numerical schemes to account for different orders of singularities that appear in acoustic and electromagnetic SIEs when they are solved by a high-order Nyström method utilizing a mesh of curved discretization elements. These schemes make use of two sets of basis functions to smoothen singular integrals: the grid robust high-order Lagrange and the high-order Silvester-Lagrange interpolation basis functions. Numerical results comparing the convergence of two schemes are presented. Moreover, an extremely scalable implementation of fast multipole method (FMM) is developed to efficiently (and iteratively) solve the linear system resulting from the discretization of the acoustic SIEs by the Nyström method. The implementation results in O(N log N) complexity for high-frequency scattering problems. This FMM-accelerated solver can handle N =2 billion on a 200,000-core Cray XC40 with 85% strong scaling efficiency. Iterative solvers are often ineffective for ill-conditioned problems. Thus, a fast direct (LU)solver,which makes use of low-rank matrix approximations,is also developed. This solver relies on tile low rank (TLR) data compression format, as implemented in the hierarchical computations on many corearchitectures (HiCMA) library. This requires to taskify the underlying SIE kernels to expose fine-grained computations. The resulting asynchronous execution permit to weaken the artifactual synchronization points,while mitigating the overhead of data motion. We compare the obtained performance results of our TLRLU factorization against the state-of-the-art dense factorizations on shared memory systems. We achieve up to a fourfold performance speedup on a 3D acoustic problem with up to 150 K unknowns in double complex precision arithmetics.
