Gas-Kinetic Theory-Based Flux Splitting Methodfor Ideal Magnetohydrodynamics

چکیده
A gas-kinetic flux splitting method is developed for the ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations. The new scheme is based on the direct splitting of the flux function of the MHD equations with the inclusion of “particle” collisions in the transport process. Consequently, the artificial dissipation in the new scheme is greatly reduced in comparison with the MHD flux vector splitting method. Numerical results from the current scheme are favorable compared with those from the well-developed Roe-type MHD solver. In the current paper, the general principle of splitting the macroscopic flux function based on the gas-kinetic theory is presented. The flux construction strategy may shed some light on the possible construction of accurate and robust hybrid schemes for the compressible flow simulations. c © 1999 Academic Press

Gas-Kinetic BGK Scheme for Three Dimensional Magnetohydrodynamics
The gas-kinetic theory based flux splitting method has been successfully proposed for solving oneand two-dimensional ideal magnetohydrodynamics by Xu et al. [J. Comput. Phys., 1999; 2000], respectively. This paper extends the kinetic method to solve three-dimensional ideal magnetohydrodynamics equations, where an adaptive parameter η is used to control the numerical dissipation in the flux spli...
متن کاملHigh-order kinetic flux vector splitting schemes in general coordinates for ideal quantum gas dynamics
A class of high-order kinetic flux vector splitting schemes are presented for solving ideal quantum gas dynamics based on quantum statistical mechanics. The collisionless quantum Boltzmann equation approach is adopted and both Bose– Einstein and Fermi–Dirac gases are considered. The formulas for the split flux vectors are derived based on the general three-dimensional distribution function in v...

Flux Vector Splitting (FVS) scheme is one group of approximate Riemann solvers for the compressible Euler equations. In this paper, the discretized entropy condition of the Kinetic Flux Vector Splitting (KFVS) scheme based on the gas-kinetic theory is proved. The proof of the entropy condition involves the entropy definition difference between the distinguishable and indistinguishable particles.

In this paper we are going to study the gas evolution dynamics of the exact and approximate Riemann solvers, e.g., the Flux Vector Splitting (FVS) and the Flux Difference Splitting (FDS) schemes. Since the FVS scheme and the Kinetic Flux Vector Splitting (KFVS) scheme have the same physical mechanism and similar flux function, based on the analysis of the discretized KFVS scheme the weakness an...
متن کاملA method to simulate linear stability of impulsively accelerated density interfaces in ideal-MHD and gas dynamics
We present a numerical method to solve the linear stability of impulsively accelerated density interfaces in two dimensions such as those arising in the Richtmyer–Meshkov instability. The method uses an Eulerian approach, and is based on an upwind method to compute the temporally evolving base state and a flux vector splitting method for the perturbations. The method is applicable to either gas...
