چکیده

An implicit approach to the solution of the unsteady two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations is presented. After spatial discretization, the resulting set of coupled implicit non-linear equations is solved iteratively. This is accomplished using well proven convergence acceleration techniques for explicit schemes such as multigrid, residual averaging, and local time-stepping in order to achieve large computational efficiency in the calculation. Calculations are performed in parallel using a domain decomposition technique with optimized communication requirements. In addition, particular care is taken to minimize the effect of numerical dissipation with flux-limited dissipation schemes. Results for the unsteady shedding flow behind a circular cylinder and for a pitching NACA 64A010 airfoil are presented with experimental comparisons, showing the feasibility of accurate, efficient, time-dependent viscous calculations. Finally, a two-dimensional structural model of the cylinder is coupled with the unsteady flow solution, and time responses of the deflections of the structure are analyzed.

In order to solve problems which are naturally unsteady (such as vortex shedding flows, moving boundary problems, fluid-structure interaction flows, etc.) it is essential to develop numerical schemes which provide accurate solutions at a reasonable cost. Therefore, computational efficiency is of paramount importance for unsteady numerical solutions. As the governing equations …
