In SILVA, the numerical solution is stored at particles, which move with the fluid velocity and also play the role of the generators of the computational mesh. The Voronoi mesh is rapidly regenerated at each time step, allowing large deformations with topology changes. As opposed to the reconnection‐based Arbitrary‐Lagrangian‐Eulerian schemes, we need no remapping stage. A semi‐implicit scheme is devised in the context of moving Voronoi meshes to project the velocity field onto a divergence‐free manifold. We validate SILVA by illustrative benchmarks, including viscous, inviscid, and multi‐phase flows. Compared to its closest competitor, the Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method, SILVA offers a sparser stiffness matrix and facilitates the implementation of no‐slip and free‐slip boundary conditions.","PeriodicalId":50348,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For that, the two local compressibility coefficients are included in the balance production/dissipation terms in a specific dissipation rate equation. The specific dissipation rate reacts to changes in the local Mach number and density through these local coefficients. The developed model is applied to the numerical simulation of the spatial supersonic turbulent airflow with round hydrogen injection. In that, the effects of the proposed turbulence model on the flow field behavior (shock wave and vortex formations, shock wave/boundary layer interaction, and mixture layer) are studied via the solution of three‐dimensional Favre‐averaged Navier–Stokes equations with a third‐order Essentially Non‐Oscillatory scheme. A series of numerical experiments are performed, in which an allowable range of local constants by comparing results with experimental data is obtained. The non‐equilibrium modification by simultaneous decrease of the turbulence kinetic energy and increase of the specific dissipation rate gives a good agreement of the hydrogen depth penetration with experimental data. Also, the numerical experiment of the supersonic airflow with a nitrogen jet shows wall pressure distribution is consistent well with experimental data.","PeriodicalId":50348,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, an approximate link between the design head and efficiency of the single‐stage centrifugal pump and the parameters of the impeller's design was established. The first step in creating a one‐factor experimental design involved selecting significant geometric variables as factors. Decision variables such as the number of blades, flow rate, and rotation were chosen due to their significant impact on hydraulic performance, while head and efficiency were considered as responses. Subsequently, the best‐optimized values for each level of the parameters were identified using response surface analysis and a central composite design. The impeller schemes of the Design‐Expert software were evaluated for head and efficiency using Computational fluid dynamics, and a total of 20 experiments were conducted. The simulated results were then validated with experimental data. Through the analysis of the individual parameters and the approximation model, the ideal parameter combination that increased head and efficiency by 7.90% and 2.06%, respectively, at the rated value was discovered. It is worth noting that in cases of a high rate of flow, the inner flow was also enhanced.","PeriodicalId":50348,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142183620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The classic linear finite element method is modified, and the resulting scheme satisfies discrete strong extremum principle unconditionally, which means that it is unnecessary to impose the well-known restrictions on diffusion coefficients and geometry of mesh-cell (e.g., “acute angle” condition), and we need not to perform upwind treatment on the advection term separately. Moreover, numerical example shows that when a discrete scheme does not satisfy the strong extremum principle, even if it maintains the global physical bound, non-physical numerical oscillations may still occur within local regions where no numerical result is beyond the physical bound. Thus, it is worth to point out that our new nonlinear finite element scheme can avoid non-physical oscillations around sharp layers in advection-dominate regions, due to maintaining discrete <i>strong</i> extremum principle.

The continuous and analytic Koopman eigenfunctions and eigenvalues, derived from operator perturbation theory, are capable of dealing with a nonlinear transition process with mathematical rigorousness. A proliferation rule is identified to derive high-order eigenvalues and eigenfunctions from lower-order ones, thus various spectral patterns may be generated through recursive proliferations. The locally linear map around each state constructs base local Koopman eigenvalues and eigenfunctions from an algebraic eigenvalue problem, and high-order ones are generated via the proliferation rule to express the systematic nonlinearity. The aforementioned hierarchy simplifies the Koopman spectral analysis and is verified by studying the development of Kármán vortex streets. The triangular chain and the lattice distribution of Koopman eigenvalues confirm the critical role of the proliferation rule and the hierarchy structure of Koopman eigenvalues. The local spectral analysis on the transition process shows that the periodic flow forms as the growth rates of the critical Koopman modes reduce to zero, and meanwhile, the Koopman modes at the same frequency superpose on each other to form the well-known Fourier or Floquet modes, where the latter are the enhanced nonlinear motions due to the alignment of Koopman eigenvalues with the critical ones.</p>","PeriodicalId":50348,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141941433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
