1 TASKQUARTERLY9No1,17 35 METHOD OF LINES FOR THE INCOMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS IN THE STREAM-FUNCTION FORMULATION ZBIGNIEW KOSMA Institute of Applied Mechanics, Radom University of Technology, Krasickiego 54, Radom, Poland (Received 3 October 2003; revised manuscript received 29 July 2004) Abstract: The aim of this paper is to simulate the laminar motion of viscous incompressible fluid and the transition between the laminar and the turbulent state in simply connected domains. The developed numerical algorithms are based on the solution of an initial-boundary value problem for the full incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, written in the form of a fourth-order equation for the stream function. The spatial derivatives and the boundary conditions are discretized on uniform grids by means of sixth-order compact schemes together with fourth-order finite-difference formulas, while the continuity of the time variable is preserved. The resulting system of ordinary differential equations has been integrated using the backward-differentiation predictor-corrector method. The efficiency of the numerical algorithms is demonstrated by solving two problems of viscous liquid plane flows in a square driven cavity and a backward-facing step. Calculations for the cavity flow configurationhavebeenobtainedforreynoldsnumbersrangingfromre=100tore=30000on uniform50 50and grids.Calculationsforthebackward-facingstephavebeenmadefor Re 3000withchannellengths,L,withintherange10 30,on30L 30uniformgrids.Thecomputed stream-function contours and velocity fields have been compared with numerical results reported in the literature.

Navier-Stokes equations in the stream-function form The problem of determination of the unsteady plane motion of viscous incompressible fluid can be formulated mathematically as an initial-boundary value problem for the fourth-order equation which governs the stream-function distribution[1, 2]: 2 ψ t + 2 ψ x ψ y 2 ψ ψ y x = 1 Re 4 ψ, (1) tq109b-e/17 11 V 2005 BOP s.c.,

2 18 Z. Kosma where Re denotes the Reynolds number, and 2 is the Laplace operator. The governing Equation(1) was transformed into a dimensionless form with appropriate normalizations. The simplicity of formulation of Equation(1) lies in the fact that the continuity equation is satisfied automatically, and then the boundary conditions for the streamfunction in simply connected domains are explicitly specified by given velocity distributions. A disadvantage of this formulation is the high order of Equation(1). The velocity components are defined as: u= ψ y, v= ψ x, (2) andvorticity,ω= v/ x u/ y,satisfiestheequationω= 2 ψ. 2. Numerical approach Approximations of all the derivatives with respect to spatial independent variables x, y occuring in Equation(1) have been performed using compact finite difference schemes[3], defined as generalizations of the classical Padé schemes. The results of the theory of these schemes, applied to an auxiliary discrete function,ϕ k,ofarealvariableξ k : ϕ k =ϕ(ξ k ), ξ k =ξ 0 +kh (k=0,1,...,n), (3) yield the following sixth-order tridiagonal approximations of the first derivatives: 1 3 ϕ k 1+ϕ k+ 1 3 ϕ k+1= 14 9 ϕ k+1 ϕ k ϕ k+2 ϕ k 2, 2h 9 4h (k=2,3,...,n 2), (4) and a similar three-point formula for the second derivatives: 2 11 ϕ k 1+ϕ k ϕ k+1= ϕ k+1 2ϕ k +ϕ k 1 h ϕ k+2 2ϕ k +ϕ k h 2, (k=2,3,...,n 2). (5) In practice, the non-periodic boundary formulation for the first derivatives is given by the following third- and fourth-order relations: ϕ 0+2ϕ 1= 1 ( 5 h 2 ϕ 0+2ϕ ) 2 ϕ 2 (k=0), 1 4 ϕ 0+ϕ ϕ 2= 3 ) (ϕ 2 ϕ 0 (k=1), 4h 1 4 ϕ N 2+ϕ N ϕ N= 3 ) (ϕ N ϕ N 2 (k=n 1), 4h 2ϕ N 1+ϕ N= 1 ( 1 h 2 ϕ N 2 2ϕ N ) 2 ϕ N (k=n), (6) tq109b-e/18 11 V 2005 BOP s.c.,

In order to solve the initial-boundary value problem for Equation(1), we cover therelevantquadraticorrectangulardomaininthex yplanewithagridsystem defined by: x=x 0 +kh (k=0,1,...,k), y=y 0 +lh (l=0,1,...,l), wherehisthesamespacingofthegridinthexandydirections.

4 20 Z. Kosma we can find additional relationships: ψ 1,j = 3 4 ψ 2,j 1 3 ψ 3,j ψ 4,j, ψ K 1,j = 3 4 ψ K 2,j 1 3 ψ K 3,j ψ K 4,j, ψ i,1 = 3 4 ψ i,2 1 3 ψ i, ψ i,4, ψ i,l 1 = 3 4 ψ i,l ψ i,l ψ i,l 4. Hence we can obtain fourth-order accurate difference approximations to ( 2 ψ ) i,j withmeshpointsvaluesofi=2,3,k 3,K 2,j=2,3,L 3,L 2, and the corresponding Equations(10) at these points, for example: 32 3 ψ 3, ψ 2,3 36 ψ 2,2 = f(ψ k,l ), 61 4 ψ 2, ψ 4,2 ψ 5, ( 3 ψ 3, ) ψ 3,2 = f(ψ k,l ), ψ 2, ψ 4,3 ψ 5, ψ 3, ψ 3,4 ψ 3, ψ 3,3 = f(ψ k,l ). The modified system of linear algebraic equations(10) with coefficients determined from Equations(9) and(13) for the time derivatives can be easily solved by means of the over-relaxation Gauss-Seidel method[4] and leads to a system of ordinary differential equations in the Cauchy form(a method of lines approach): (12) (13) ψ i,j =f(ψ k,l ). (14) The obtained initial value problem for the system of ordinary differential equations(14) is integrated using the two-step backward-differentiation predictorcorrector method[5, 6]. Considering an initial value problem for an unknown function ϕ(t): for this particular case becomes: predictor corrector dϕ =f(t,ϕ), ϕ=ϕ(t), dt ϕ(0)=ϕ 0, t [0,T], (15) ϕ (0) n+1 =ϕ n 1+2 tf(t n,ϕ n ), (16) [ ] ϕ (q+1) n+1 =1 (4ϕ n ϕ n 1 )+2 tf(t n+1,ϕ (q) n+1 3 ) (q=0,1,...). (17) BDF-methods are currently in common use for stiff equations. The right-hand sides in Equations(16) and(17) are calculated only once at each step of integration, which allows one to decrease the calculation time. The 2-step BDF-formula(17) is stable in all the left conformal half-planes of the corresponding characteristic equation. Another numerical scheme for incompressible viscous flow, formulated as Equation(1) for the stream-function, was proposed in[7]. In this paper the biharmonic tq109b-e/20 11 V 2005 BOP s.c.,

In this case, the stream function, ψ, has to fulfil the following boundary conditions: ψ(0,y)=ψ(1,y)=ψ(x,0)=ψ(x,1)=0, ψ x (0,y)=ψ x (1,y)=ψ y (x,0)=0, ψ y (x,1)=1. (18) Figure 1. The driven cavity problem: geometry and boundary conditions Cavity flows have been frequently employed to test the accuracy of Navier- Stokes solvers[7 46]. Numerical simulation of viscous incompressible fluid motion in a square cavity is not only important technologically, it is also of great scientific interest as it displays most fluid mechanical phenomena in a simple geometrical setting.

(19) The effect of the spatial grid s size on the accuracy of the time-dependent solution has also been studied. It was possible to compute steady solutions for Reynoldsnumbersupto10000,buttheresultsonthe50 50gridatRe>1000 differed considerably from results reported in the literature[7 45]. Steady states werereachedafterabout timesteps.Asconfirmedin[15],anunstable solutionatre=30000wasalsofoundonthe gridandinthiscasethe computations were performed until a specified number of iterations(equal to ) was reached. Figures2 6showhowflowsinthecavitydependontheReynoldsnumber.The flow configuration is characterized by the locations of the centres and sizes of the main vortex and the secondary vortices. The primary vortex moves down to the centre of the cavity as the Reynolds number increases. It is getting stronger and its location becomes virtually invariant for Re 5000[15]. Small eddies develop in the vicinity of thetwolowercornersandintheupperrightcorner,andtheircentresalsomovevery slowly towards the cavity s centre with the increase of Re. The interaction of these eddying motions with the mean shear-driven flow eventually leads to a turbulence, as smalleddiesareunstableandthestrengthoftheprimaryeddyatthecentreofthe cavityvariesintime.allthesecondaryvorticesonthe gridforthesteady state solutions are shown in Figures 7 12, where velocity vectors are plotted with vector length proportional to the magnitude of velocity Discussion of results The driven square cavity flow is a good benchmark problem as it offers a deceptively simple model on which numerical techniques may be examined and very accurate numerical results are available for comparison. The computed streamfunction contours and distributions of velocity components, appearance of vortices in the flow field and the observed locations of primary, secondary and additional corner vortices are compatible with the numerical results reported in the literature [7 46]. Especially the stream-function contours are graphically comparable with thewell-knownfiguresobtainedbyghiaetal.[9].the gridisfoundto be good enough to capture the flow details including the tertiary vortices up to Re= Figures show the computed profiles concerning the u velocity component ontheverticalcentrelineofthecavity(x=0.5),thevvelocitycomponentalong the horizontal centreline of the cavity(y = 0.5) and their comparisons with the tq109b-e/22 11 V 2005 BOP s.c.,

Hence, boundary conditions for laminar flow correspond to those defined in the literature[19, 35, 49 73] and can be expressed in the following manner: ψ=0fory= 0.5,x [0,L], ψ=0forx=0,y [ 0.5,0], ψ=2y 2 (3 4y) forx=0,y [0,0.5], ψ=0.25+(3 4y 2 )y/4forx=l,y [ 0.5,0.5], ψ=0.5fory=0.5,x [0,L]. (20) Figure 21. Geometry of the backward-facing step problem Results of computations of viscous incompressible flows in a backward-facing geometry have been reported by many of authors[19, 28, 35, 49 73]. This simple configuration involves a few re-circulating flow regions(see Figure 22) and vortexshedding phenomena, experimentally studied by Armaly et al.[50] for the flow of air. Unfortunately, the three-dimensional effects in the channel become significant for Re > 400, which makes comparison of the measurements with the two-dimensional simulations less than satisfactory. However, the laminar(re < 1200), transitional (1200<Re<6600)andturbulent(Re>6600)zonesoftheflowcanbeclearly identified from the measurements. tq109b-e/27 11 V 2005 BOP s.c.,

Concluding remarks The developed computational algorithms for the solution of incompressible flow of viscous fluids substantially improve the previous versions proposed in papers [47 49].Theauthorisnotawareofanyothersimilarmethodforthesolutionof incompressible viscous flows; only in[7] a central difference scheme for a pure streamfunction formulation of incompressible viscous flow was introduced. In their present form, the algorithms are applicable to numerical simulation of both laminar and turbulent motion as a solution of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations written in the form of a fourth-order equation for the stream function. The method of lines is adopted, the essence of which lies in discretizing all the spatial derivatives, while preserving the continuity of the time variable. The computed stream-function contours and distributions of velocity components in a wind-driven cavity and a rectilinear backward-facing step fit well the numerical results presented in numerous previously cited references. Because of their two-dimensionality, the present simulations are tq109b-e/33 11 V 2005 BOP s.c.,
