Book Numerical Methods for Fluid Dynamics

Download or read book Numerical Methods for Fluid Dynamics written by Dale R. Durran and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scholarly text provides an introduction to the numerical methods used to model partial differential equations, with focus on atmospheric and oceanic flows. The book covers both the essentials of building a numerical model and the more sophisticated techniques that are now available. Finite difference methods, spectral methods, finite element method, flux-corrected methods and TVC schemes are all discussed. Throughout, the author keeps to a middle ground between the theorem-proof formalism of a mathematical text and the highly empirical approach found in some engineering publications. The book establishes a concrete link between theory and practice using an extensive range of test problems to illustrate the theoretically derived properties of various methods. From the reviews: "...the books unquestionable advantage is the clarity and simplicity in presenting virtually all basic ideas and methods of numerical analysis currently actively used in geophysical fluid dynamics."

Book Theoretical and Numerical Analysis of the Interaction Between Dynamics and Chemistry in Reactive Flows

Download or read book Theoretical and Numerical Analysis of the Interaction Between Dynamics and Chemistry in Reactive Flows written by Federico Bianco and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis is divided in three parts. In the first part we investigate a nonlinear advection-diffusion-reaction equation for a passive scalar field. The purpose is to understand how compressible advection can affect the front dynamics and the bulk burning rate. The effect is quantitatively measured, and it turns out to be generally small. In the second part, reaction-diffusion processes in two-dimensional percolating structures are investigated. Two different problems are addressed: reaction spreading on a percolating cluster and front propagation in a percolating channel. For reaction spreading, numerical data show a power-law behavior of the reaction product. For percolating channels, a statistically stationary traveling wave develops. While the front speed is a low-fluctuating quantity and its behavior can be understood using a simple theoretical argument, the front width is a high-fluctuating quantity showing a power-law behavior as function of the channel size. In the third part, we study numerically the combustion instabilities that may appear in a micro-combustor. A one-dimensional and a two-dimensional (axially symmetric) constant density model, with one global reaction kinetic, are considered. The purpose of this analysis is to show how complex dynamics of combustion, in certain limits, can be captured by low-order models (chemically and gas-dinamically). Numerical results show a good qualitative agreement with experiments in a large range of regimes. In the end, we extend our analysis investigating the range of stability for different diameter of the combustor, and we show that dimensionality of the model can play a central role.

Book Method for Calculation of the One dimensional Nonequilibrium Flow of a General Gas Mixture Through a Hypersonic Nozzle

Download or read book Method for Calculation of the One dimensional Nonequilibrium Flow of a General Gas Mixture Through a Hypersonic Nozzle written by George Emanuel and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work described is a continuation of that reported previously in AEDC-TN-61-65 (calculation of the one-dimensional nonequilibrium flow of air through a hypersonic nozzle). In particular, a method is presented for the exact numerical calculation of the one-dimensional nonequilibrium flow of a general gas mixture through a converging-diverging nozzle. General equations are given for a mixture of perfect gases with an arbitrary number of species undergoing an arbitrary number of chemical and vibrational rate processes. An inexact but accurate method, similar in form to the method employed in the nonequilibrium case, is also given for calculating the corresponding one-dimensional equilibrium flow. The numerical method of solution applicable to both cases is described, including a simple procedure for starting the nonequilibrium calculations from an equilibrium condition and an improved method for controlling integration step size. The factors that affect over-all computation time are discussed. A computer program for an IBM 7090 has been written for the general gas mixture. Specific calculations are reported for a model of air consisting of O, N, NO, N2, and O2 and including eight chemical reactions plus the vibrational processes of the three diatomic species.

Book Numerical Methods in Laminar Flame Propagation

Download or read book Numerical Methods in Laminar Flame Propagation written by Norbert Peters and published by Vieweg+teubner Verlag. This book was released on 1982 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume collects the results of a workshop held at Aachen, West-Germany, Oct. 12 - Oct. 14, 1981. The purpose in bringing together scientists actively working in the field of numerical methods in flame propagation was two-fold: 1. To confront them with recent results obtained by large ac­ tivation-energy asymptotics and to check these numerically. 2. To compare different numerical codes and different trans­ port models for flat flame calculations with complex che­ mistry. Two test problems were formulated by the editors to meet these objectives. Test problem A was an unsteady propagating flat flame with one-step chemistry and Lewis number different from unity while test problem B was the steady, stoichiometric hy­ drogen-air flame with prescribed complex chemistry. The parti­ cipants were asked to solve one or both test problems and to present recent work of their own choice at the meeting. The results of the numerical calculations of test problem A are challenging just as much for scientists employing numerical me­ thods as for those devoted to large activation-energy asympto­ tics: Satisfactory agreement between the five different groups were obtained only for two out of six cases, those with Lewis number Le equal to one. The very strong oscillations that oc­ cur at Le = 2 and a nondimensional activation energy of 20 were accurately resolved only by one group. This case is par­ ticular interesting because the asymptotic theory so far pre­ dicts instability but not oscillations.

Book Riemann Solvers and Numerical Methods for Fluid Dynamics

Download or read book Riemann Solvers and Numerical Methods for Fluid Dynamics written by Eleuterio F. Toro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1917, the British scientist L. F. Richardson made the first reported attempt to predict the weather by solving partial differential equations numerically, by hand! It is generally accepted that Richardson's work, though unsuccess ful, marked the beginning of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), a large branch of Scientific Computing today. His work had the four distinguishing characteristics of CFD: a PRACTICAL PROBLEM to solve, a MATHEMATICAL MODEL to represent the problem in the form of a set of partial differen tial equations, a NUMERICAL METHOD and a COMPUTER, human beings in Richardson's case. Eighty years on and these four elements remain the pillars of modern CFD. It is therefore not surprising that the generally accepted definition of CFD as the science of computing numerical solutions to Partial Differential or Integral Equations that are models for fluid flow phenomena, closely embodies Richardson's work. COMPUTERS have, since Richardson's era, developed to unprecedented levels and at an ever decreasing cost. PRACTICAL PROBLEMS to solved nu merically have increased dramatically. In addition to the traditional demands from Meteorology, Oceanography, some branches of Physics and from a range of Engineering Disciplines, there are at present fresh demands from a dynamic and fast-moving manufacturing industry, whose traditional build-test-fix approach is rapidly being replaced by the use of quantitative methods, at all levels. The need for new materials and for decision-making under envi ronmental constraints are increasing sources of demands for mathematical modelling, numerical algorithms and high-performance computing.
