We present a well-balanced, second order, Godunov-type finite volume scheme for compressible Euler equations with gravity. By construction, the scheme admits a discrete stationary solution which is a second order accurate approximation to the exact stationary solution. Such a scheme is useful for problems involving complex equations of state and/or hydrostatic solutions which are not known in c...

In this paper, we prove the existence of global weak solutions for 3D compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate viscosity. The method is based on the Bresch and Desjardins entropy conservation [2]. The main contribution of this paper is to derive the Mellet-Vasseur type inequality [32] for the weak solutions, even if it is not verified by the first level of approximation. This provid...

The purpose of this paper is to present asymptotically stable open boundary conditions for the numerical approximation of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in three spatial dimensions. The treatment uses the conservation form of the Navier-Stokes equations and utilizes linearization and localization at the boundaries based on these variables. The proposed boundary conditions are applied ...

CDNS [1], Compressible Direct Navier-Stokes Simulation code, is an explicit finitedifference code developed by Gordon Erlebacher (Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering) to study 3-D compressible turbulence. This code solves the full Navier-Stokes equations using constant viscosity and Prandtl number. Spatial derivatives are calculated using a sixth-order compact scheme,...

– We prove some asymptotic results concerning global (weak) solutions of compressible isentropic Navier–Stokes equations. More precisely, we establish the convergence towards solutions of incompressible Euler equations, as the density becomes constant, the Mach number goes to 0 and the Reynolds number goes to infinity.  2001 Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS RÉSUMÉ. – Nous prouv...

We extend the well-known Serrin’s blowup criterion for the three-dimensional (3D) incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to the 3D viscous compressible cases. It is shown that for the Cauchy problem of the 3D compressible Navier-Stokes system in the whole space, the strong or smooth solution exists globally if the velocity satisfies the Serrin’s condition and either the supernorm of the density...

The compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson (NSP) system is considered in R3 in the present paper and the influences of the electric field of the internal electrostatic potential force governed by the self-consistent Poisson equation on the qualitative behaviors of solutions is analyzed. It is observed that the rotating effect of electric field affects the dispersion of fluids and reduces the time d...

A reconstruction-based discontinuous Galerkin (RDG) method is presented for the solution of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations on arbitrary grids. The RDG method, originally developed for the compressible Euler equations, is extended to discretize viscous and heat fluxes in the Navier-Stokes equations using a so-called inter-cell reconstruction, where a smooth solution is locally reconstr...

We discuss the matrix-free implementation of Discontinuous Galerkin methods for compressible flow problems, i.e. the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. For the spatial discretization the CDG2 method and for temporal discretization an explicit Runge-Kutta method is used. For the presented matrix-free approach we discuss asynchronous communication, shared memory parallelization, and automated ...
