REFINED NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS OF THE TRANSONIC FLOW PAST A WEDGE (OBLIQUE SHOCK).

LIANG, SHEN-MIN. January 1985 (has links)
An adaptive refinement procedure combining the ideas of solving a modified difference equation and of adaptive mesh refinement is introduced. The numerical solution on a fixed grid is improved by inclusion of approximated truncation error computed from local subgrid refinement. Following this procedure, a reliable scheme has been developed for refined computations of the flow past a wedge at transonic speeds. Effects of the truncation error on the pressure, wave drag, sonic line, and shock position are investigated. By comparing the pressure drag on the wedge and the wave drag due to the shocks, the existence of a supersonic-to-supersonic shock originating from the wedge shoulder is confirmed.

Surface and volumetric parametrisation using harmonic functions in non-convex domains

Klein, Richard 29 July 2013 (has links)
A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2013 / Many of the problems in mathematics have very elegant solutions. As complex, real–world geometries come into play, however, this elegance is often lost. This is particularly the case with meshes of physical, real–world problems. Domain mapping helps to move problems from some geometrically complex domain to a regular, easy to use domain. Shape transformation, specifically, allows one to do this in 2D domains where mesh construction can be difficult. Numerical methods usually work over some mesh on the target domain. The structure and detail of these meshes affect the overall computation and accuracy immensely. Unfortunately, building a good mesh is not always a straight forward task. Finite Element Analysis, for example, typically requires 4–10 times the number of tetrahedral elements to achieve the same accuracy as the corresponding hexahedral mesh. Constructing this hexahedral mesh, however, is a difficult task; so in practice many people use tetrahedral meshes instead. By mapping the geometrically complex domain to a regular domain, one can easily construct elegant meshes that bear useful properties. Once a domain has been mapped to a regular domain, the mesh can be constructed and calculations can be performed in the new domain. Later, results from these calculations can be transferred back to the original domain. Using harmonic functions, source domains can be parametrised to spaces with many different desired properties. This allows one to perform calculations that would be otherwise expensive or inaccurate. This research implements and extends the methods developed in Voruganti et al. [2006 2008] for domain mapping using harmonic functions. The method was extended to handle cases where there are voids in the source domain, allowing the user to map domains that are not topologically equivalent to the equivalent dimension hypersphere. This is accomplished through the use of various boundary conditions as the void is mapped to the target domains which allow the user to reshape and shrink the void in the target domain. The voids can now be reduced to arcs, radial lines and even shrunk to single points. The algorithms were implemented in two and three dimensions and ultimately parallelised to run on the Centre for High Performance Computing clusters. The parallel code also allows for arbitrary dimension genus-0 source domains. Finally, applications, such as remeshing and robot path planning were investigated and illustrated.
