Finite volume flow simulations on arbitrary domains

Finite volume flow simulations on arbitrary domains

We present a novel method for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations that more accurately handles arbitrary boundary conditions and sharp geometric features in the fluid domain. It uses a space filling tetrahedral mesh, which can be created using many well known methods, to represent the fluid domain. Examples of the method’s strengths are illustrated by free surface fluid simulatio...

Ciphers with Arbitrary Finite Domains

We explore the problem of enciphering members of a finite set M where k = |M| is arbitrary (in particular, it need not be a power of two). We want to achieve this goal starting from a block cipher (which requires a message space of size N = 2, for some n). We look at a few solutions to this problem, focusing on the case when M = [0, k − 1]. We see ciphers with arbitrary domains as a worthwhile ...

Numerical Investigation on Compressible Flow Characteristics in Axial Compressors Using a Multi Block Finite Volume Scheme

An unsteady two-dimensional numerical investigation was performed on the viscous flow passing through a multi-blade cascade. A Cartesian finite-volume approach was employed and it was linked to Van-Leer's and Roe's flux splitting schemes to evaluate inviscid flux terms. To prevent the oscillatory behavior of numerical results and to increase the accuracy, Monotonic Upstream Scheme for Conservat...

Turbulent Flow in 2-D Domains with Complex Geometry-Finite Elelment Method

Using the highly recommended numerical techniques, a finite element computer code is developed to analyse the steady incompressible, laminar and turbulent flows in 2-D domains with complex geometry. The Petrov-Galerkin finite element formulation is adopted to avoid numerical oscillations. Turbulence is modeled using the two equation k-ω model. The discretized equations are written in the form o...
