This book was released on 2005-12-20 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced numerical simulations that use adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) methods have now become routine in engineering and science. Originally developed for computational fluid dynamics applications these methods have propagated to fields as diverse as astrophysics, climate modeling, combustion, biophysics and many others. The underlying physical models and equations used in these disciplines are rather different, yet algorithmic and implementation issues facing practitioners are often remarkably similar. Unfortunately, there has been little effort to review the advances and outstanding issues of adaptive mesh refinement methods across such a variety of fields. This book attempts to bridge this gap. The book presents a collection of papers by experts in the field of AMR who analyze past advances in the field and evaluate the current state of adaptive mesh refinement methods in scientific computing.

This book was released on 2010-09-28 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid-structure interactions (FSI), i.e., the interplay of some moveable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid, are among the most widespread and most challenging coupled or multi-physics problems. Although much has been accomplished in developing good computational FSI methods and despite convincing solutions to a number of classes of problems including those presented in this book, there is a need for more comprehensive studies showing that the computational methods proposed are reliable, robust, and efficient beyond the classes of problems they have successfully been applied to.This volume of LNCSE, a sequel to vol. 53, which contained, among others, the first numerical benchmark for FSI problems and has received considerable attention since then, presents a collection of papers from the "First International Workshop on Computational Engineering - special focus FSI," held in Herrsching in October 2009 and organized by three DFG-funded consortia. The papers address all relevant aspects of FSI simulation and discuss FSI from the mathematical, informatical, and engineering perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptive numerical methods offer greater efficiency than traditional numerical methods by concentrating computational effort in regions of the problem domain where the solution is difficult to obtain. In this paper, the authors describe progress toward adding mesh refinement to MPSalsa, a computer program developed at Sandia National laboratories to solve coupled three-dimensional fluid flow and detailed reaction chemistry systems for modeling chemically reacting flow on large-scale parallel computers. Data structures that support refinement and dynamic load-balancing are discussed. Results using uniform refinement with mesh sequencing to improve convergence to steady-state solutions are also presented. Three examples are presented: a lid driven cavity, a thermal convection flow, and a tilted chemical vapor deposition reactor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have applied structured adaptive mesh refinement techniques to the solution of the LDA equations for electronic structure calculations. Local spatial refinement concentrates memory resources and numerical effort where it is most needed, near the atomic centers and in regions of rapidly varying charge density. The structured grid representation enables us to employ efficient iterative solver techniques such as conjugate gradients with multigrid preconditioning. We have parallelized our solver using an object-oriented adaptive mesh refinement framework.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this thesis is the development of an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) algorithm for computational fluid dynamics simulations using hexahedral and tetrahedral meshes. This numerical methodology is applied in the context of large-eddy simulations (LES) of turbulent flows and direct numerical simulations (DNS) of interfacial flows, to bring new numerical research and physical insight. For the fluid dynamics simulations, the governing equations, the spatial discretization on unstructured grids and the numerical schemes for solving Navier-Stokes equations are presented. The equations follow a discretization by conservative finite-volume on collocated meshes. For the turbulent flows formulation, the spatial discretization preserves symmetry properties of the continuous differential operators and the time integration follows a self-adaptive strategy, which has been well tested on unstructured grids. Moreover, LES model consisting of a wall adapting local-eddy-viscosity within a variational multi-scale formulation is used for the applications showed in this thesis. For the two-phase flow formulation, a conservative level-set method is applied for capturing the interface between two fluids and is implemented with a variable density projection scheme to simulate incompressible two-phase flows on unstructured meshes. The AMR algorithm developed in this thesis is based on a quad/octree data structure and keeps a relation of 1:2 between levels of refinement. In the case of tetrahedral meshes, a geometrical criterion is followed to keep the quality metric of the mesh on a reasonable basis. The parallelization strategy consists mainly in the creation of mesh elements in each sub-domain and establishes a unique global identification number, to avoid duplicate elements. Load balance is assured at each AMR iteration to keep the parallel performance of the CFD code. Moreover, a mesh multiplication algorithm (02) is reported to create large meshes, with different kind of mesh elements, but preserving the topology from a coarser original mesh. This thesis focuses on the study of turbulent flows and two-phase flows using an AMR framework. The cases studied for LES of turbulent flows applications are the flow around one and two separated square cylinders, and the flow around a simplified car model. In this context, a physics-based refinement criterion is developed, consisting of the residual velocity calculated from a multi-scale decomposition of the instantaneous velocity. This criteria ensures grid adaptation following the main vortical structures and giving enough mesh resolution on the zones of interest, i.e., flow separation, turbulent wakes, and vortex shedding. The cases studied for the two-phase flows are the DNS of 2D and 3D gravity-driven bubble, with a particular focus on the wobbling regime. A study of rising bubbles in the wobbling regime and the effect of dimensionless numbers on the dynamic behavior of the bubbles are presented. Moreover, the use of tetrahedral AMR is applied for the numerical simulation of gravity-driven bubbles in complex domains. On this topic, the methodology is validated on bubbles rising in cylindrical channels with different topology, where the study of these cases contributed to having new numerical research and physical insight in the development of a rising bubble with wall effects.

Book excerpt: As large-scale, parallel computers have become more widely available and numerical models and algorithms have advanced, the range of physical phenomena that can be simulated has expanded dramatically. Many important science and engineering problems exhibit solutions with localized behavior where highly-detailed salient features or large gradients appear in certain regions which are separated by much larger regions where the solution is smooth. Examples include chemically-reacting flows with radiative heat transfer, high Reynolds number flows interacting with solid objects, and combustion problems where the flame front is essentially a two-dimensional sheet occupying a small part of a three-dimensional domain. Modeling such problems numerically requires approximating the governing partial differential equations on a discrete domain, or grid. Grid spacing is an important factor in determining the accuracy and cost of a computation. A fine grid may be needed to resolve key local features while a much coarser grid may suffice elsewhere. Employing a fine grid everywhere may be inefficient at best and, at worst, may make an adequately resolved simulation impractical. Moreover, the location and resolution of fine grid required for an accurate solution is a dynamic property of a problem's transient features and may not be known a priori. Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is a technique that can be used with both structured and unstructured meshes to adjust local grid spacing dynamically to capture solution features with an appropriate degree of resolution. Thus, computational resources can be focused where and when they are needed most to efficiently achieve an accurate solution without incurring the cost of a globally-fine grid. Figure 1.1 shows two example computations using AMR; on the left is a structured mesh calculation of a impulsively-sheared contact surface and on the right is the fuselage and volume discretization of an RAH-66 Comanche helicopter [35]. Note the ability of both meshing methods to resolve simulation details by varying the local grid spacing.

The most widely used discretization and solution methods, which are also found in most commercial CFD-programs, are described in detail. Some advanced topics, like moving grids, simulation of turbulence, computation of free-surface flows, multigrid methods and parallel computing, are also covered. Since CFD is a very broad field, we provide fundamental methods and ideas, with some illustrative examples, upon which more advanced techniques are built. Numerical accuracy and estimation of errors are important aspects and are discussed in many examples. Computer codes that include many of the methods described in the book can be obtained online. This 4th edition includes major revision of all chapters; some new methods are described and references to more recent publications with new approaches are included. Former Chapter 7 on solution of the Navier-Stokes equations has been split into two Chapters to allow for a more detailed description of several variants of the Fractional Step Method and a comparison with SIMPLE-like approaches. In Chapters 7 to 13, most examples have been replaced or recomputed, and hints regarding practical applications are made. Several new sections have been added, to cover, e.g., immersed-boundary methods, overset grids methods, fluid-structure interaction and conjugate heat transfer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accurate modeling of the nonlinear properties of materials can be computationally expensive. Parallel computing offers an attractive way for solving such problems; however, the efficient use of these systems requires the vertical integration of a number of very different software components, we explore the solution of two- and three-dimensional, small-strain plasticity problems. We consider a finite-element formulation of the problem with adaptive refinement of an unstructured mesh to accurately model plastic transition zones. We present a framework for the parallel implementation of such complex algorithms. This framework, using libraries from the SUMAA3d project, allows a user to build a parallel finite-element application without writing any parallel code. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach on widely varying parallel architectures, we present experimental results from an IBM SP parallel computer and an ATM-connected network of Sun UltraSparc workstations. The results detail the parallel performance of the computational phases of the application during the process while the material is incrementally loaded.
