Various other high resolution schemes have been developed that solve the Euler equations with good accuracy. Examples of such schemes are, the Osher scheme, and; the Liou-Steffen AUSM (advection upstream splitting method) scheme. More information on these and other methods can be found in the references below.
The term “Volume of Fluid method” and it acronym “VOF” method were coined in the 1980 Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory report, “SOLA-VOF: A Solution Algorithm for Transient Fluid Flow with Multiple Free Boundaries,” by Nichols, Hirt and Hotchkiss [6] and in the journal publication “Volume of Fluid (VOF) Method for the Dynamics of ...
Furthermore, the design and construction of these experiments can be difficult (and costly), particularly for stratified rotating flows. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an additional tool in the arsenal of scientists. In its early days CFD was often controversial, as it involved additional approximation to the governing equations and ...
In numerical analysis and computational fluid dynamics, Godunov's scheme is a conservative numerical scheme, suggested by Sergei Godunov in 1959, [1] for solving partial differential equations. One can think of this method as a conservative finite volume method which solves exact, or approximate Riemann problems at each inter-cell boundary.
Other methods recently explored include Fourier surrogate modeling [4] [5] and random forests. [6] For some problems, the nature of the true function is not known a priori, and therefore it is not clear which surrogate model will be the most accurate one. In addition, there is no consensus on how to obtain the most reliable estimates of the ...
Example showing non-monotone cubic interpolation (in red) and monotone cubic interpolation (in blue) of a monotone data set. Monotone interpolation can be accomplished using cubic Hermite spline with the tangents m i {\displaystyle m_{i}} modified to ensure the monotonicity of the resulting Hermite spline.
In fluid mechanics, non-dimensionalization of the Navier–Stokes equations is the conversion of the Navier–Stokes equation to a nondimensional form. This technique can ease the analysis of the problem at hand, and reduce the number of free parameters. Small or large sizes of certain dimensionless parameters indicate the importance of certain ...
For example, the Mach number evolution of an ideal gas in a supersonic nozzle depends only on the heat capacity ratio (namely on the fluid) and on the exhaust-to-stagnation pressure ratio. [6] Considering real-gas effects, instead, even fixing the fluid and the pressure ratio, different total states yield different Mach profiles.
