We investigate the zero dissipation limit problem of the one dimensional compressible non–isentropic Navier–Stokes equations with Riemann initial data in the case of the composite wave of two shock waves. It is shown that the unique solution of the Navier–Stokes equations exists for all time, and converge to the Riemann solution of the corresponding Euler equations with the same Riemann initial...

Direct numerical simulation of stability and transition of compressible boundary layers requires high-orderaccurate and computationally efŽ cient numerical methods to resolve a wide range of timeand length scales associated with wave Ž elds in the boundary layers. Explicit methods have been used mainly in such simulations to advance the compressible Navier–Stokes equations in time. However, the...

Recently, we have proposed a method for solving steady-state convection-diffusion equations, including the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations [17]. The method is a combination of a mixed Finite Element method for the diffusion terms, and a Discontinuous Galerkin method for the convection term. The method is fully implicit, and the globally coupled unknowns are the hybrid variables, i.e.,...

This paper presents a new dynamic one equation eddy viscosity model for LES of compressible flows. Based on the compressible version of dynamic Smagorinsky model (DSM), the transport equation for sub-grid scale (SGS) kinetic energy (KE) is introduced to predict SGS KE, instead of the commonly used Yoshizawa’s model. The SGS KE transport equation for compressible flow is derived, and the unclose...

We derive a posteriori estimates for the modeling error caused by the assumption of perfect incompressibility in the incompressible NavierStokes equation: Real fluids are never perfectly incompressible, but always feature at least some low amount of compressibility. Thus, their behavior is described by the compressible Navier-Stokes equation, the pressure being a steep function of the density. ...

The high-pressure structural chemistry of α-zirconium phosphate, α-Zr(HPO4)2·H2O, was studied using in-situ high-pressure diffraction and synchrotron radiation. The layered phosphate was studied under both hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic conditions and Rietveld refinement carried out on the resulting diffraction patterns. It was found that under hydrostatic conditions no uptake of additional wa...

In this paper, we justify the limit from Navier–Stokes system in a thin domain to hydrostatic Navier–Stokes/Prandtl for convex initial data with Gevrey 9/8 regularity x.
