Viscosity and numerical methods

چکیده

In any flow, layers move at different velocities and a fluid’s viscosity arises from the shear stress between the layers that ultimately oppose any applied force. These shear stresses are communicated via collisions between the particles comprising the fluid, and the typical scale of viscosity is therefore of order the mean free collisional length λ. This scale is usually much smaller than the scales that can be represented on a numerical grid, λ << ∆x if one desires to model an astrophysical phenomenon of macroscopic size, and an understanding of this limitation is therefore vital to understanding the limitations of numerical modeling.

Chemical Reaction Effects on Bio-Convection Nanofluid flow between two Parallel Plates in Rotating System with Variable Viscosity: A Numerical Study

In the present work, a mathematical model is developed and analyzed to study the influence of nanoparticle concentration through Brownian motion and thermophoresis diffusion. The governing system of PDEs is transformed into a coupled non-linear ODEs by using suitable variables. The converted equations are then solved by using robust shooting method with the help of MATLAB (bvp4c). The impacts o...

Pseudo transient continuation and time marching methods for Monge-Ampère type equations

We present two numerical methods for the fully nonlinear elliptic MongeAmpère equation. The first is a pseudo transient continuation method and the second is a pure pseudo time marching method. The methods are proved to converge for smooth solutions. We give numerical evidence that they are also able to capture the viscosity solution of the Monge-Ampère equation. Even in the case of the degener...

A level set approach for computing discontinuous solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations

We introduce two types of finite difference methods to compute the L-solution and the proper viscosity solution recently proposed by the second author for semi-discontinuous solutions to a class of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. By regarding the graph of the solution as the zero level curve of a continuous function in one dimension higher, we can treat the corresponding level set equation using the...

Sequential Implicit Numerical Scheme for Pollutant and Heat Transport in a Plane-Poiseuille Flow

A sequential implicit numerical scheme is proposed for a system of partial differential equations defining the transport of heat and mass in the channel flow of a variable-viscosity fluid. By adopting the backward difference scheme for time derivative and the central difference scheme for the spatial derivatives, an implicit finite difference scheme is formulated. The variable-coefficient diffu...
