Incompressible Navier-Stokes

The solver for incompressible flows is based on the well-known SIMPLE algorithm.

In each time step, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved for the primitive variables velocity and pressure in a segregated manner by an iterative solution procedure.

Taylor-Couette flow

by: Thomas Utz, M.Sc.

We study the planar Taylor-Couette flow, i.e. the flow between two rotating cylinders in the planar case. Without using curved elements at the boundaries, the convergence order of the numerical scheme is limited by the accuracy of the geometrical approximation. With curved elements, the scheme shows the desired convergence order of hP+1:

h-convergence for the two-dimensional Taylor-Couette flow: the convergence order is determined by both the approximation of the geometry and the flow field
h-convergence for the two-dimensional Taylor-Couette flow: the convergence order is determined by both the approximation of the geometry and the flow field

In the 3D case, the flow becomes unstable and forms characteristic roll cells, as can be seen in the picture below. The low numerical dissipation of the high order Discontinuous Galerkin scheme allows for an accurate reproduction of the onset of instability, even on a coarse grid with 8 cells in radial direction.

Three-dimensional flow past a square cylinder

by: Dr.-Ing. Benedikt Klein

The three-dimensional flow past a square cylinder is simulated for Reynolds number Re = 300. A Cartesian grid with 32410 cells is used. Polynomial orders for velocity and pressure are 2 and 1, respectively. The time step size is set to Δt = 0.1 applying the BDF-2 scheme. The movie below shows iso-contours of the cross-stream vorticity.

Orr-Sommerfeld stability problem

by: Dr.-Ing. Benedikt Klein

The stability of the solver is studied by simulating the Orr-Sommerfeld problem for a perturbed plane Poiseuille flow. Setting the Reynolds number to Re = 7500 and the wave number of the disturbances to α = 1, there is one unstable eigensolution.
