Viscous dissipation in DG methods for turbulent incompressible flows

Incompressible Viscous Flows

In this article, we describe some approaches to the eecient numerical computation of viscous incompressible ows governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. We concentrate on laminar ows, stationary as well as nonstationary, for Reynolds numbers of moderate size, and in general domains. The emphasis is on spatial discretization by the nite element method. We discuss the treatment of the incompressi...

Least Squares Finite Element Methods for Viscous, Incompressible Flows

This paper is concerned with finite element methods of least-squares type for the approximate numerical solution of incompressible, viscous flow problems. Our main focus is on issues that are critical for the success of the finite element methods, such as decomposition of the Navier-Stokes equations into equivalent first-order systems, mathematical prerequisites for the optimality of the method...

Thermal lattice Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model for flows with viscous heat dissipation in the incompressible limit.

In this paper, by introducing a different distribution function and starting from the Boltzmann equation as well as the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, we obtain a Boltzmann Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation for thermal flows with viscous heat dissipation in the incompressible limit. The continuous thermal BGK model is then discretized over both time and phase space to form a lattice BGK mod...

Gauge Method for Viscous Incompressible Flows∗

We present a new formulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation in terms of an auxiliary field that differs from the velocity by a gauge transformation. The gauge freedom allows us to assign simple and specific boundary conditions for both the auxiliary field and the gauge field, thus eliminating the issue of pressure boundary condition in the usual primitive variable formulation. The...
