A Parallel PSPG Finite Element Method for Direct Simulation of Incompressible Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a consistent splitting approach to the pressure stabilized Petrov-Galerkin finite element method for incompressible flow. The splitting leads to (almost) explicit predictor and corrector steps linked by an implicit pressure equation which can be solved very efficiently. The overall secondorder convergence is proved in numerical experiments. Furthermore, the parallel implementation of the method is discussed and its scalability for up to 120 processors of a SGI Origin 3800 system is demonstrated. A significant superlinear speedup is observed and can be attributed to cache effects. First applications to large-scale fluid dynamic problems are reported.

Simulation of incompressible flows with heat and mass transfer using parallel finite element method∗
The stabilized finite element formulations based on the SUPG (Streamline-Upwind/Petrov-Galerkin) and PSPG (Pressure-Stabilization/PetrovGalerkin) methods are developed and applied to solve buoyancy-driven incompressible flows with heat and mass transfer. The SUPG stabilization term allows us to solve flow problems at high speeds (advection dominant flows) and the PSPG term eliminates instabilit...

متن کاملParallel Stabilized Finite Element Simulation of Free Surface Flows with Violent Motions
Abstract. Flows with violent free-surface motions occur in several problems in hydrodynamics, such as fuel or water sloshing in tanks, waves breaking in ships, offshore platforms, harbors and coastal areas. The computation of such highly nonlinear flows is challenging since free-surfaces commonly present merging, fragmentation and breaking parts, leading to the use of interface capturing Euleri...

In this work we evaluate the performance of inexact Newton-type schemes to solve the nonlinear equations arising from the SUPG/PSPG finite element formulation of steady viscoplastic incompressible fluid flows. The flow through an abrupt contraction and the rotational flow in eccentric annulus with power law and Bingham rheologies are employed as benchmarks. Our results have shown that inexact s...
