Towards Verification of Unstructured-Grid Solvers

چکیده
New methodology for verification of computational methods using unstructured grids is presented. The discretization order properties are studied in computational windows, easily constructed within a collection of grids or a single grid. The windows can be adjusted to isolate the interior discretization, the boundary discretization, or singularities. A major component of the methodology is the downscaling test, introduced previously for studying the convergence rates of truncation and discretization errors of finite-volume discretization schemes on general unstructured grids. Demonstrations of the method are shown, including a comparative accuracy assessment of commonly-used schemes on general mixed grids and the identification of local accuracy deterioration at intersections of tangency and inflow/outflow boundaries. Recommendations for the use of the methodology in large-scale computational simulations are given.

A Cartesian grid solver is coupled with an orthogonal curvilinear grid solver using overset grid interpolation and a coupled pressure Poisson solver. It aims at resolving the boundary layer on the body surface effectively. SUGGAR code, an overset grid assembly program, provides overset grid information of a Cartesian background grid and a thin orthogonal body-fitted grid to resolve the boundary...

متن کاملParallel Multigrid Solvers for 3D Unstructured Finite Element Problems in Large Deformation Elasticity and Plasticity
Multigrid is a popular solution method for the set of linear algebraic equations that arise from PDEs discretized with the nite element method. The application of multigrid to unstructured grid problems, however, is not well developed. We discuss a method, that uses many of the same techniques as the nite element method itself, to apply standard multigrid algorithms to unstructured nite element...
