SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES
ABSTRACTThis report results from a contract tasking American University of Beirut as follows: The proposed work involves implementing and (thoroughly) testing the Geometric Conservation Based family of Algorithms within a structured finite-volume framework. The convection terms along the control volume faces will be evaluated using a High Resolution scheme applied within the context of the Normalized Variable Formulation methodology. In order to accelerate the convergence rate and reduce the overall computational cost of the algorithm, the outer iterations will be accelerated by using a non-linear full multigrid method. The discretization scheme will be second-order accurate in space and first order accurate in time (even though extension to second order accuracy should be straightforward). The newly implemented algorithms will be tested by solving a variety of two-dimensional multi-fluid flow problems in the subsonic, transonic, and supersonic regimes. Examples include: 1) Phase separation in a duct (water-air); 2) Turbulent bubbly flow in a pipe; 3) Turbulent gas-solid flow in a curved duct; 4) Dusty flow over a flat plate at subsonic flow conditions (~incompressible); 5) Dusty flow in a converging-diverging nozzle, and 6) Any problem of interest to Dr. Sekar (AFRL/PR). A detailed report describing the work will be submitted at end of contract as specified in the schedule of supplies in the submitted proposal.
SUBJECT TERMS
AbstractThis work is concerned with the implementation and testing, within a structured collocated finite-volume framework, of seven segregated algorithms for the prediction of multi-phase flow at all speeds. These algorithms belong to the Geometric Conservation Based Algorithms
