Análise e implementação de esquemas de convecção e modelos de turbulência para simulação de escoamentos incompressíveis envolvendo superfícies livres. / Analysis and implementation of convection schemes and turbulence models for simulation of incompressible flows involving free surfaces.

Ferreira, Valdemir Garcia 26 September 2001 (has links)
Uma parte significativa dos escoamentos encontrados em aplicações tecnológicas é caracterizada por envolver altos números de Reynolds, principalmente aqueles em regime turbulento e com superfície livre. Obter soluções numéricas representativas para essa classe de problemas é extremamente difícil, devido à natureza não-linear das equações diferenciais parciais envolvidas nos modelos. Conseqüentemente, o tema tem sido uma das principais preocupações da comunidade científica moderna em dinâmica de fluidos computacional. Aproximações de primeira ordem para os termos convectivos são as mais adequadas para amortecer oscilações que estão associadas às aproximações de alta ordem não-limitadas. Todavia, elas introduzem dissipação artificial nas representações discretas comprometendo os resultados numéricos. Para minimizar esse efeito não-físico e, ao mesmo tempo, conseguir aproximações incondicionalmente estáveis, é indispensável adotar uma estratégia que combine aproximações de primeira ordem com as de ordem mais alta e que leve em conta a propagação de informações físicas. Os resultados dessa composição são os esquemas "upwind" limitados de alta ordem. Em geral, espera-se que esses esquemas sejam apropriados para a representação das derivadas convectivas nos modelos de turbulência kappa-varepsilon. No contexto de diferenças finitas, a presente tese dedica-se à solução numérica das equações de Navier-Stokes no regime de números de Reynolds elevados. Em particular, ela contém uma análise de algoritmos monotônicos e antidifusivos e modelos de turbulência kappa-varepsilon para a simulação de escoamentos incompressíveis envolvendo superfícies livres. Esquemas de convecção são implementados nos códigos GENSMAC para proporcionar um tratamento robusto dos termos convectivos nas equações de transporte. Duas versões do modelo kappa-varepsilon de turbulência são implementadas nos códigos GENSMAC, para problems bidimensionais e com simetria radial, para descrever os efeitos da turbulência sobre o escoamento médio. Resultados numéricos de escoamentos com simetria radial são comparados com resultados experimentais e analíticos. Simulações numéricas de problemas tridimensionais complexos são apresentadas para avaliar o desempenho de esquemas "upwind". Finalmente, os modelos de turbulência kappa-varepsilon são utilizados para a simulação de escoamentos confinados e com superfícies livres. / A considerable part of fluid flows encountered in technological applications is characterised by involving high-Reynolds numbers, especially those in turbulent regime and with free-surface. It is extremely difficult to obtain representative numerical solutions for this class of problems, due to the non-linear nature of the partial differential equations involved in the models. Consequently, this subject has been one of main concerns in the modern computational fluid dynamics community. First-order approximation to the convective terms is one of the most appropriate to smooth out oscilations/instabilities which are associated with high-order unlimited approximation. However, it introduces numerical dissipation in the discrete representation jeopardizing the numerical results. In order to minimize this non-physical effect and, at the same time, to obtain unconditionally stable approximation, it is essential to adopt a strategy that combines first and high-order approximations and takes into account the propagation of physical information. The results of this composition are the high-order bounded upwind techniques. In general, it is expected that these algorithms are satisfactory for the representation of the convective derivatives in the kappa-varepsilon turbulence model. In the context of finite-difference, the present thesis deals with the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations at high-Reynolds number regimes. In particular, it contains an analysis of monotonic and anti-difusive convection schemes and kappa-varepsilon turbulence models for the simulation of free-surface fluid flows. Upwinding methods are implemented into the GENSMAC codes to provide a robust treatment of the convective terms in the transport equations. Two versions of the K-Epsilon turbulence model are implemented into the two-dimensional and axisymmetric GENSMAC codes, in order to describe the turbulent effects on the average flow. Numerical results of axisymmetric flows are compared with experimental and analytical results. Numerical simulations of complex three-dimensional problems are presented to assess the performance of high-order bounded upwind schemes. Finally, the K-Epsilon turbulence models are employed in the simulation of confined and free-surface flows.

Um esquema \"upwind\" para leis de conservação e sua aplicação na simulação de escoamentos incompressíveis 2D e 3D laminares e turbulentos com superfícies livres / The \"upwind\" scheme to the conservation laws and their application in simulation of 2D and 3D incompressible laminar and turbulent flows with free surfaces

Fernando Akira Kurokawa 26 February 2009 (has links)
Apesar de as EDPS que modelam leis de conservação e problemas em dinâmica dos fluídos serem bem estabelecidas, suas soluções numéricas continuam ainda desafiadoras. Em particular, há dois desafios associados à computação e ao entendimento desses problemas: um deles é a formação de descontinuidades (choques) e o outro é o fenômeno turbulência. Ambos os desafios podem ser atribuídos ao tratamento dos termos advectivos não lineares nessas equações de transporte. Dentro deste canário, esta tese apresenta o estudo do desenvolvimento de um novo esquema \"upwind\" de alta resolução e sua associação com modelagem da turbulência. O desempenho do esquema é investigado nas soluções da equação de advecção 1D com dados iniciais descontínuos e de problemas de Riemann 1D para as equações de Burgers, Euler e águas rasas. Além disso, são apresentados resultados numéricos de escoamentos incompressíveis 2D e 3D no regime laminar a altos números de Reynolds. O novo esquema é então associado à modelagem \'capa\' - \'epsilon\' da turbulência para a simulação numérica de escoamentos incompressíveis turbulentos 2D e 3D com superfícies livres móveis. Aplicação, verificação e validação dos métodos numéricos são também fornecidas / Althought the PDEs that model conservation laws and fluid dynamics problems are well established, their numerical solutions have presented a continuing challenge. In particular, there are two challenges associated with the computation and the understanding of these problems, namely, formation of shocks and turbulence. Both challenges can be attributed to the nonlinear advection terms of these transport equations. In this scenario, this thesis presents the study of the development of a new high-resolution upwind scheme and its association with turbulence modelling. The performance of the scheme is investigated by solving the 1D advection equation with discontinuous initial data 1D Riemann problems for Burgers, Euler and shallow water equations. Besides, numerical results for 2D and 3D incompressible laminar flows at high Reynolds number are presented. The new scheme is then associated with the \'capa - \' epsilon\' turbulence model for the simulation of 2D and 3D incompressible turbulent flows with moving free surfaces. Application, verification and validation of the numerical methods are also provided

Lors que nous examinons numériquement des phénomènes multiphasiques suite à un accidentgrave dans le réacteur nucléaire, la dimension caractéristique des zones multi-fluides(non-réactifs et réactifs) s’avère beaucoup plus petite que celle du bâtiment réacteur, cequi fait la Simulation Numérique Directe de la configuration à peine réalisable. Autrement,nous proposons de considérer la zone de mélange multiphasique comme une interface infinimentfine. Puis, le solveur de Riemann réactif est inséré dans la Méthode des ÉquationsDiscrètes Réactives (RDEM) pour calculer le front de combustion à grande vitesse représentépar une interface discontinue. Une approche anti-diffusive est ensuite couplée avec laRDEM afin de précisément simuler des interfaces réactives. La robustesse et l’efficacité decette approche en calculant tant des interfaces multiphasiques que des écoulements réactifssont à la fois améliorées grâce à la méthode ici proposée : upwind downwind-controlled splitting(UDCS). UDCS est capable de résoudre précisément des interfaces avec les maillagesnon-structurés multidimensionnels, y compris des fronts réactifs de détonation et de déflagration. / When numerically investigating multiphase phenomena during severe accidents in a reactorsystem, characteristic lengths of the multi-fluid zone (non-reactive and reactive) are foundto be much smaller than the volume of the reactor containment, which makes the directmodeling of the configuration hardly achievable. Alternatively, we propose to consider thephysical multiphase mixture zone as an infinitely thin interface. Then, the reactive Riemannsolver is inserted into the Reactive Discrete Equations Method (RDEM) to compute highspeed combustion waves represented by discontinuous interfaces. An anti-diffusive approachis also coupled with RDEM to accurately simulate reactive interfaces. Increased robustnessand efficiency when computing both multiphase interfaces and reacting flows are achievedthanks to an original upwind downwind-controlled splitting method (UDCS). UDCS is capableof accurately solving interfaces on multi-dimensional unstructured meshes, includingreacting fronts for both deflagration and detonation configurations.

Desenvolvimento e teste de esquemas \"upwind\" de alta resolução e suas  aplicações em escoamentos  incompressíveis com superfícies livres / Development and testing of high-resolution upwind schemes and their applications in incompressible free surface flows

Rafael Alves Bonfim de Queiroz 18 March 2009 (has links)
Neste trabalho são apresentados os resultados do desenvolvimento e teste de esquemas upwind de alta resolução para o controle da difusão numérica em leis de conservação gerais e problemas em dinâmica dos fluidos. Em particular, são derivados dois novos esquemas: o ALUS (Adaptive Linear Upwind Scheme) e o TOPUS (Third-Order Polynomial Upwind Scheme). Esses esquemas são testados no transporte de escalares, em equações 1D tipo convecção-difusão, em sistemas hiperbólicos 1D, nas equações de Euler 2D da dinâmica dos gases e nas equações de Navier-Stokes incompressíveis 2D/3D. Os esquemas são então associados a uma modelagem algébrica não linear para a simulação de problemas de escoamentos incompressíveis turbulentos 2D com/sem superfícies livres / In this work, results of the development and testing of high-resolution upwind schemes for controlling of the numerical diffusion for general conservation laws and fluid dynamics problems are presented. In particular, two new high-resolution upwind schemes are derived, namely, the ALUS (Adaptive Linear Upwind Scheme) and the TOPUS (Third-Order Polynomial Upwind Scheme). These schemes are tested in scalar transport, 1D convection-diffusion equations, 1D hyperbolic systems, 2D Euler equations of the gas dynamics, and in 2D/3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The schemes are then combined with a nonlinear Reynolds stress algebraic equation model for the simulation of 2D incompressible turbulent flows with/without free surfaces

Desenvolvimento de estratégias de captura de descontinuidades para leis de conservação e problemas relacionados em dinâmica de fluídos / Development of strategies to capture discontinuities for conservation laws and related problems in fluid dynamics

Lima, Giseli Aparecida Braz de 23 March 2010 (has links)
Esta dissertação trata da solução numérica de problemas em dinâmica dos fluidos usando dois novos esquemas upwind de alta resolução, denominados FDPUS-C1 (Five-Degree Polynomial Upwind Scheme of \' C POT. 1\' Class) e SDPUS-C1 (Six-Degree Polynomial Upwind Scheme of \'C POT.1\' Class), para a discretização de termos convectivos lineares e não-lineares. Os esquemas são baseados nos critérios de estabilidade TVD (Total Variation Diminishing) e CBC (Convection Boundedness Criterion) e são implementados, nos contextos das metodologias de diferenças finitas e volumes finitos, no ambiente de simulação Freeflow (an integrated simulation system for Free surface Flow) para escoamentos imcompressíveis 2D, 2D-1/2 e 3D, ou no código bem conhecido CLAWPACK ( Conservation LAW PACKage) para problemaw compressíveis 1D e 2D. Vários testes computacionais são feitos com o objetivo de verificar e validar os métodos numéricos contra esquemas upwind populares. Os novos esqumas são então aplicados na resolução de uma gama ampla de problemas em CFD (Computational Fluids Dynamics), tais como propagação de ondas de choque e escoamentos incompressíveis envolvendo superfícies livres móveis. Em particular, os resultados numéricos para leis de conservação hiperbólicas 2D e equações de Navier-Stokes incompressíveis 2D, 2D-1/2 e 3D demosntram que esses novos esquemas convectivos tipo upwind polinomiais funcionam muito bem / This dissertation deals with the numerical solution of fluid dynamics problems using two new high resolution upwind schemes,. namely FDPUS-C1 and SDPUS-C1, for the discretization of the linear and non-linear convection terms. The Schemes are based on TVD and DBC stability criteria and are implemented in the context of the finite difference and finite volume methodologies, either into the Freeflow code for 2D, 2D-1/2 and 3D incompressible flows or in the well-known CLAWPACK code for 1D and 2D compressible flows. Several computational tests are performed to verify and validate the numerical methods against other popularly used upwind schemes. The new schemes are then applied to solve a wide range of problems in CFD, such as shock wave propagation and incompressible fluid flows involving moving free msurfaces. In particular, the numerical results for 2D hyperbolic conservation laws and 2D, 2D-1/2 and 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes eqautions show that new polynomial upwind convection schemes perform very well

An artificial compressibility analogy approach for compressible ideal MHD: Application to space weather simulation

YALIM, Mehmet Sarp 05 December 2008 (has links)
Ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations are known to have problems in satisfying the solenoidal constraint (i.e. the divergence of magnetic field should be equal to zero, $ ablacdotvec{B} = 0$). The simulations become unstable unless specific measures have been taken. In this thesis, a solenoidal constraint satisfying technique that allows discrete satisfaction of the solenoidal constraint up to the machine accuracy is presented and validated with a variety of test cases. Due to its inspiration from Chorin's artificial compressibility method developed for incompressible CFD applications, the technique was named as extit{artificial compressibility analogy (ACA)} approach. It is demonstrated that ACA is a purely hyperbolic, stable and consistent technique, which is moreover easy to implement. Unlike some other techniques, it does not pose any problems of the sort that $ ablacdotvec{B}$ errors accumulate in the vicinity of the stagnant regions of flow. With these crucial properties, ACA is thought to be a remedy to the drawbacks of the most commonly used solenoidal constraint satisfying techniques in the literature namely: Incorrect shock capturing and poor performance of the convective stabilization mechanism in regions of stagnant flow for Powell's source term method; exceedingly complex implementation for constrained transport technique due to the staggered grid representation; computationally expensive nature due to the necessity of a Poisson solver combined with hyperbolic/elliptic numerical methods for classical projection schemes. In the first chapter of the thesis, general background knowledge is given about plasmas, MHD and its history, a certain class of upwind finite volume methods, namely Riemann solvers, and their applications in MHD, the definition, constituents, formation mechanisms and effects of space weather and some of the space missions that are and will be performed in its prediction. Secondly, detailed analysis of the compressible ideal MHD equations is given in the form of the derivation of the equations, their dimensionless numbers which will be of use to specify the flows in the following chapters, and finally, the presentation of the MHD waves and discontinuities, which indicates the complexity of the system of ideal MHD equations and therefore their further numerical analysis. The next discussion is about the main subject of the thesis, namely the solenoidal constraint satisfying techniques. First of all, the definition and significance of the solenoidal constraint is given. Afterwards, the most common solenoidal constraint satisfying techniques in the literature are reviewed along with their abovementioned drawbacks. Moreover, particular emphasis is given to the Powell's source term approach which was also implemented in the upwind finite volume MHD solver developed. In addition, the hyperbolic divergence cleaning technique is presented in detail together with the resemblance and differences between it and ACA. Some other solenoidal constraint satisfying techniques are briefly mentioned at this stage. After these, ACA is presented in the following way: The point of inspiration, which is the analogy made with Chorin's artificial compressibility method developed for incompressible CFD, the introduction of the modified system of ideal MHD equations due to ACA, the derivation of the wave equation governing the propagation of $ ablacdotvec{B}$ errors and the analytical consistency proof. Having finished the core discussion of the thesis, the solver developed and its constituents are given in the fourth chapter. Furthermore, a brief overview of the platform into which this solver was implemented, namely COOLFluiD, is also given at this point. Afterwards, a thorough numerical verification of the ACA approach has been made on an increasingly complex suite of test cases. The results obtained with ACA and Powell's source term implementations are given in order to numerically analyse and verify ACA and compare the two methods and validate them with the results from literature. The sixth chapter is devoted to further validation of ACA performed with a variety of more advanced space weather-related simulations. In this chapter, also the $vec{B}_{ extrm{0}} + vec{B}_{ extrm{1}}$ splitting technique used to treat planetary magnetosphere is presented along with its application to ACA and Powell's source term approaches. This technique is utilized in obtaining the solar wind/Earth's magnetosphere interaction results and is based on suppressing the direct inclusion of the Earth's magnetic field, which is a dipole field, in the solution variables. In this way, problems are avoided with the energy equation that could arise from the drastic change of the ratio of the dipole field and the variable field computed by the solver (i.e. $frac{lvertvec{B}_{ extrm{0}}lvert}{lvertvec{B}_{ extrm{1}}lvert}$) in the computational domain. Finally, conclusions and future perspectives related to the material presented in the thesis are put forward.

ETUDE PHENOMENOLOGIQUE ET NUMERIQUE DE LA PROPAGATION DE POLLUANTS MISCIBLES DANS UN MILIEU A POROSITE MULTIPLE (application au transport des nitrates dans laquifère crayeux du Crétacé de Hesbaye

Biver, Pierre 02 June 1993 (has links)
ABSTRACT In the first part of this study, a determinist mathematical approach is used to describe any kind of pollutant migration in groundwater. This theoretical background is focused on the miscible displacement and the particularities of the multiporous media are discussed. Subsequently, an objective numerical tool is developed to solve the convection-dispersion equations including immobile water effect, degradation, and adsoption. Among all the available techniques, two finite element methods in fixed meshing grids have been programmed: -the F.U.P.G. method (Full Upwind Petrov Galerkin), using a space-time upwinded weighting function with optimized coefficients, -the H.E.L.M. method (Hybrid Eulerian Lagrangian Method), using the eulerian lagrangian approach with reverse node tracking. Those two schemes are tested on a large number of reference problems. The model have been applied to study the behaviour of solutes (nitrates mainly) in the cretaceous chalk of the Hesbaye area (Belgium). Experimentations have been performed on domains of increasing size (laboratory tests, in situ tracer tests). For each interpretation, the particularities of the context have been taken into account, and miscible transport coefficients have been objectively determined. Hence, the medium is well characterized and the scale effect is quantified. This leads to previsional applications. RESUME Ce travail débute par le développement dun formalisme mathématique déterministe pour décrire, en toute généralité, la propagation de polluants dans les eaux souterraines. Cette étude théorique permet de situer le problème posé (pollution miscible diluée) dans un cadre plus large, et de souligner les particularités dun milieu à porosité multiple. Dans un second temps, un outil numérique objectif est mis au point pour résoudre les équations de convection-dispersion avec effet deau immobile, dégradation, et adsorption. Parmi le grand nombre des procédés existants, deux méthodes par éléments finis en maillage fixe ont été programmées : -la méthode F.U.P.G. (Full Upwind Petrov Galerkin) basée sur un décentrage des fonctions de pondération, optimum dans le temps et lespace, -la méthode H.E.L.M. (Hybrid Eulerian Lagrangian Method) utilisant un processus eulerien lagrangian avec traçage inverse des positions nodales. Les deux schémas sont testés sur de nombreux problèmes de référence. Ensuite, ce modèle est appliqué à des situations pratiques pour étudier le comportement de solutés (nitrates notamment) dans laquifère crayeux du Crétacé de Hesbaye (Belgique). Des domaines de taille croissante sont étudiés (essais de laboratoire, traçage in situ). A chaque étape, les coefficients de transport miscible sont déterminés de façon objective, en tenant compte de la spécificité des tests. Ainsi, leffet déchelle peut être quantifié et il est possible denvisager des scénarios prévisionnels.

On Viscous Flux Discretization Procedures For Finite Volume And Meshless Solvers

Munikrishna, N 06 1900 (has links)
This work deals with discretizing viscous fluxes in the context of unstructured data based finite volume and meshless solvers, two competing methodologies for simulating viscous flows past complex industrial geometries. The two important requirements of a viscous discretization procedure are consistency and positivity. While consistency is a fundamental requirement, positivity is linked to the robustness of the solution methodology. The following advancements are made through this work within the finite volume and meshless frameworks. Finite Volume Method: Several viscous discretization procedures available in the literature are reviewed for: 1. ability to handle general grid elements 2. efficiency, particularly for 3D computations 3. consistency 4. positivity as applied to a model equation 5. global error behavior as applied to a model equation. While some of the popular procedures result in inconsistent formulation, the consistent procedures are observed to be computationally expensive and also have problems associated with robustness. From a systematic global error study, we have observed that even a formally inconsistent scheme exhibits consistency in terms of global error i.e., the global error decreases with grid refinement. This observation is important and also encouraging from the view point of devising a suitable discretization scheme for viscous fluxes. This study suggests that, one can relax the consistency requirement in order to gain in terms of robustness and computational cost, two key ingredients for any industrial flow solver. Some of the procedures are analysed for positivity as applied to a Laplacian and it is found that the two requirements of a viscous discretization procedure, consistency(accuracy) and positivity are essentially conflicting. Based on the review, four representative schemes are selected and used in HIFUN-2D(High resolution Flow Solver on UNstructured Meshes), an unstructured data based cell center finite volume flow solver, to simulate standard laminar and turbulent flow test cases. From the analysis, we can advocate the use of Green Gauss theorem based diamond path procedure which can render high level of robustness to the flow solver for industrial computations. Meshless Method: An Upwind-Least Squares Finite Difference(LSFD-U) meshless solver is developed for simulating viscous flows. Different viscous discretization procedures are proposed and analysed for positivity and the procedure which is found to be more positive is employed. Obtaining suitable point distribution, particularly for viscous flow computations happens to be one of the important components for the success of the meshless solvers. In principle, the meshless solvers can operate on any point distribution obtained using structured, unstructured and Cartesian meshes. But, the Cartesian meshing happens to be the most natural candidate for obtaining the point distribution. Therefore, the performance of LSFD-U for simulating viscous flows using point distribution obtained from Cartesian like grids is evaluated. While we have successfully computed laminar viscous flows, there are difficulties in terms of solving turbulent flows. In this context, we have evolved a strategy to generate suitable point distribution for simulating turbulent flows using meshless solver. The strategy involves a hybrid Cartesian point distribution wherein the region of boundary layer is filled with high aspect ratio body-fitted structured mesh and the potential flow region with unit aspect ratio Cartesian mesh. The main advantage of our solver is in terms of handling the structured and Cartesian grid interface. The interface algorithm is considerably simplified compared to the hybrid Cartesian mesh based finite volume methodology by exploiting the advantage accrue out of the use of meshless solver. Cheap, simple and robust discretization procedures are evolved for both inviscid and viscous fluxes, exploiting the basic features exhibited by the hybrid point distribution. These procedures are also subjected to positivity analysis and a systematic global error study. It should be remarked that the viscous discretization procedure employed in structured grid block is positive and in fact, this feature imparts the required robustness to the solver for computing turbulent flows. We have demonstrated the capability of the meshless solver LSFDU to solve turbulent flow past complex aerodynamic configurations by solving flow past a multi element airfoil configuration. In our view, the success shown by this work in computing turbulent flows can be considered as a landmark development in the area of meshless solvers and has great potential in industrial applications.
