Vortex Sheet Approximation of Boundary Layers
نویسنده
چکیده
A grid free method for approximating incompressible boundary layers is introduced. The computational elements are segments of vortex sheets. The method is related to the earlier vortex method; simplicity is achieved at the cost of replacing the Navier-Stokes equations by the Prandtl boundary layer equations. A new method for generating vorticity at boundaries is also presented; it can be used with the earlier vortex method. The applications presented include (i) flat plate problems, and (ii) a flow problem in a model cylinder* piston assembly, where the new method is used near walls and an improved version of the random choice method is used in the interior. One of the attractive features of the new method is the ease with which it can be incorporated into hybrid algorithms.

A Further Improvement on the Resurrected Core-Spreading Vortex Method
Abstract—In a previously developed fast vortex method, the diffusion of the vortex sheet induced at the solid wall by the no-slip boundary conditions was modeled according to the approximation solution of Koumoutsakos and converted into discrete blobs in the vicinity of the wall. This scheme had been successfully applied to a simulation of the flow induced with an impulsively initiated circular...
متن کاملSingularity formation in three-dimensional vortex sheets
We study singularity formation of three-dimensional ~3-D! vortex sheets without surface tension using a new approach. First, we derive a leading order approximation to the boundary integral equation governing the 3-D vortex sheet. This leading order equation captures the most singular contributions of the integral equation. By introducing an appropriate change of variables, we show that the lea...
متن کاملOn the motion of vortex sheets with surface tension in the 3D Euler equations with vorticity
The motion of vortex sheets with surface tension has been analyzed in the setting of irrotational flows by Ambrose [1] and Ambrose & Masmoudi [2] in 2D, and by Ambrose & Masmoudi [3] in 3D. With irrotationality, the nonlinear Euler equations reduce to Poisson’s equation for the pressure function in the bulk, and the motion of the vortex sheet is decoupled from that of the fluid, thus allowing b...

متن کاملVanishing Viscosity and the Accumulation of Vorticity on the Boundary
We say that the vanishing viscosity limit holds in the classical sense if the velocity for a solution to the Navier-Stokes equations converges in the energy norm uniformly in time to the velocity for a solution to the Euler equations. We prove, for a bounded domain in dimension 2 or higher, that the vanishing viscosity limit holds in the classical sense if and only if a vortex sheet forms on th...
