A collection of computational fluid dynamics tools and techniques are being developed and tested for application to stage separation and abort simulation for next-generation launch vehicles. In this work, an overset grid Navier-Stokes flow solver has been enhanced and demonstrated on a matrix of proximity cases and on a dynamic separation simulation of a belly-to-belly wing-body configuration. ...

This article studies two methods for obtaining excellent mass conservation in finite element computations of the Navier-Stokes equations using continuous velocity fields. With a particular mesh construction, the Scott-Vogelius element pair has recently been shown to be inf-sup stable and have optimal approximation properties, while also providing pointwise mass conservation. We present herein t...

The motion of a viscous incompressible fluid flow in bounded domains with a smooth boundary can be described by the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations. This description corresponds to the so-called Eulerian approach. We develop a new approximation method for the Navier-Stokes equations in both the stationary and the non-stationary case by a suitable coupling of the Eulerian and the Lagrangian re...

We derive upper bounds for the number of asymptotic degrees (determining modes and nodes) of freedom for the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes system and Navier-Stokes system with damping. In the first case we obtain the previously known estimates in an explicit form, which are larger than the fractal dimension of the global attractor. However, for the Navier–Stokes system with damping our estimate...

We reduce the construction of a weak solution of the Cauchy problem for the Navier-Stokes system to the construction of a stochastic problem solution. Under suitable conditions we solve the stochastic problem and prove that simultaneously we obtain a weak (generalized) solution to the Cauchy problem for the Navier-Stokes system. RESUMEN Nosotros reducimos la construcción de una solución débil d...

In 1999, J.C. Mattingly and Ya. G. Sinai used elementary methods to prove the existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions to the 2D Navier-Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions. And they were almost successful in proving the existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions using the same strategy. In this paper, we mo...

A new fourth order compact formulation for the steady 2-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is presented. The formulation is in the same form of the Navier-Stokes equations such that any numerical method that solve the Navier-Stokes equations can easily be applied to this fourth order compact formulation. In particular in this work the formulation is solved with an efficient numerical meth...

We study how the number of numerically determining modes in the Navier–Stokes equations depends on the Grashof number. Consider the two-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a periodic domain with a fixed time-independent forcing function. We increase the Grashof number by rescaling the forcing and observe through numerical computation that the number of numerically determining ...

The quasineutral limit of compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson system with heat conductivity and general (ill-prepared) initial data is rigorously proved in this paper. It is proved that, as the Debye length tends to zero, the solution of the compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson system converges strongly to the strong solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations plus a term of fast singul...

in this work, we introduce the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with a new boundary condition, generalizes the Dirichlet and the Neumann conditions. Then we derive an adequate variational formulation of timedependent NavierStokes equations. We then prove the existence theorem and a uniqueness result. A Mixed finite-element discretization is used to generate the nonlinear system c...
