Boundary Conditions for Finite Element Simulations of Convective Flows With Artificial Boundaries

Abstract: SUMMARYWe examine the use of natural boundary conditions and conditions of the Sommerfeld type for finite element simulations of convective transport in viscous incompressible flows. We show that natural boundary conditions are superior in the sense that they always provide a correct boundary condition, as opposed to the Sommerfeld-type conditions, which can lead to a singular formulation and a great loss of accuracy. For the Navier-Stokes equations, the natural boundary conditions must be combined with a simp… Show more

“…This eliminates the false flux on the boundary. The details about the effect of the boundary integral on the numerical approximation are fully explained in Heinrich et al [41]. Figure 5(a) shows the average solute concentration in the vertical direction after 18 000 s. The expected inverse segregation at the chilled surface can be seen at the left end, and the concentration in the interior of the casting is slightly higher than C 0 , as expected [42].…”

“…In the presence of strong vortical structures the homogeneous natural (do-nothing) boundary conditions can result in a global pressure response that is physically unrealistic. Heinrich, et al 38 present a summary of this problem and suggest several remedies.…”

“…Researchers around the world have raised the issue of the applicability boundaries of the mathematical modeling scheme. One of the first who studied this issue were the authors of the article [4], which was published back in 1996. The mentioned paper argued that it is necessary to reduce the physical domain, thus introducing one or more artificial boundaries in the numerical simulation of displacement processes.…”
