2 @u r:u = 0 () + r:(uu x ) = + r:(uu y ) = + r:(uu z @z + r 2 u x (2) + r 2 u y (3) + r 2 u z (4) Transport equation form, with Two main problems The equation is non-linear 2 The source term involves p

3 NSE 3 equations for 4 variables, + constraint equation. Need p to nd u, need u to nd p Equations solved sequentially Iterate until all elds correct Several dierent approaches used to solve these equations. 2 main ones : { Pressure Implicit Splitting of Operators { for time dependent ows { Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations { used for steady state problems

4 Eqn (2) if we know p, ux, can nd u x. Eqns (2{4), () combined! equation for p given the ux : r: rp A Flux has to satisfy continuity () = (ux term) algorithm as follows : Guess p, ux (values from previous timestep) 2 Use equation (2) to nd u x, u y etc. 3 Solve pressure equation for p 4 Correct ux to satisfy continuity

5 Start Guess p, flux (values from previous timestep) Use equation (3) to find ux, uy, uz Solve pressure equation to get p Correct flux to satisfy continuity Y Next timestep? N

6 Could iterate until steady-state. More usual to use. r:u = 0 r:(uu x ) = r:(uu y ) = r:(uu z @z + r 2 u x + r 2 u y (5) + r 2 u z Guess an initial pressure eld p 2 Use equation (5) to create a velocity eld u from this pressure eld

7 3 Find a correction p 0 to the pressure eld p = p + p 0 4 Correct the velocity (ux) to obey continuity. In theory, p and u should now be the desired solution. In practice, it is necessary to repeat this procedure as an iterative process. If new solution p, u adopted at each step! algorithm becomes unstable. Thus, use underrelaxation : 5 Underrelax solution p n+ = p + ( )p n is underrelaxation parameter. At each step of the iteration, the error in the solution (the residual) should decrease { residuals for all variables should be monitored to ensure this.

8 Start Guess p * Find u * from momentum eqn. Find pressure correction p Find flux correction Correct fields p ** = p * + p Update fields (underrelaxation) n Tolerance achieved? y

9 Initial condition { state of p and u at all points in the ow. most uid ow problems parabolic or hyperbolic! solution depends in part on initial conditions specify known values for p and u, or make sensible guess may need to timestep until the eect of the I.C. absent Steady viscous ows { elliptic however methods parabolic { need starting conditions Boundary conditions { largely specify what the solution will be

10 3 main types of b.c. { walls, inlets, outlets Walls { u = 0 parallel to the wall (unless the wall is moving in which case the uid will share the motion) Fluid inlet { specify u. Fluid outlet { specify p N.B. If b.c. incorrectly specied, problem becomes ill posed { no solution possible.
