An adaptive wavelet-based method provides an alternative means to refine grids according to local demands of the physical solution. One of the prominent challenges of such a method is the application to problems defined on complex domains. In the case of incompressible flow, the application to problems with complicated domains is made possible by the use of the Navier-Stokes–Brinkman equations. These equations take into account solid obstacles by adding a penalized velocity term in the momentum equation. In this study, an adaptive wavelet collocation method, based on interpolating wavelets, is first applied to a benchmark problem defined on a simple domain to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the method. Then the penalty technique is used to simulate flows over obstacles. The numerical results are compared to those obtained by other computational approaches as well as to experiments.

Purpose This paper aims to propose a new adaptive numerical method to find more accurate numerical solution for the heat source optimal control problem (OCP). Design/methodology/approach The main aim of this paper is to present an adaptive collocation approach based on the interpolating wavelets to solve an OCP for finding optimal heat source, in a two-dimensional domain. This problem arises when the domain is heated by microwaves or by electromagnetic induction. Findings This paper shows that combination of interpolating wavelet basis and finite difference method makes an accurate structure to design adaptive algorithm for such problems which usually have non-smooth solution. Originality/value The proposed numerical technique is flexible for different OCP governed by a partial differential equation with box constraint over the control or the state function.

In this paper we present effective preconditioning techniques for solving the nonsymmetric systems that arise from the discretization of the Navier–Stokes equations. These linear systems are solved using either Krylov subspace methods or the Richardson scheme. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our techniques in handling time-accurate as well as steady-state solutions. We also compare our solvers with those published previously.

Explicit Solver

In order to efficiently address complex problems in hydrodynamics, the advances in the development of a new method are presented here. This method aims at finding a good compromise between computational efficiency, accuracy, and easy handling of complex geometries. The chosen method is an Explicit Cartesian Finite Volume method for Hydrodynamics (ECFVH) based on a compressible (hyperbolic) solver, with a ghost-cell method for geometry handling and a Level-set method for the treatment of biphase-flows. The explicit nature of the solver is obtained through a weakly-compressible approach chosen to simulate nearly-incompressible flows. The explicit cell-centered resolution allows for an efficient solving of very large simulations together with a straightforward handling of multi-physics. A characteristic flux method for solving the hyperbolic part of the Navier-Stokes equations is used. The treatment of arbitrary geometries is addressed in the hyperbolic and viscous framework. Viscous effects are computed via a finite difference computation of viscous fluxes and turbulent effects are addressed via a Large-Eddy Simulation method (LES). The Level-Set solver used to handle biphase flows is also presented. The solver is validated on 2-D test cases (flow past a cylinder, 2-D dam break) and future improvements are discussed.

A numerical procedure to solve three-dimensional incompressible flows in arbitrary shapes is presented. The conservative form of the primitive-variable formulation of the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations written for a general curvilinear coordiante system is adopted. The numerical scheme is based on an overlapping grid combined with opposed differencing for mass and pressure gradients. The pressure and the velocity components are stored at the same location: the center of the computational cell which is used for both mass and the momentum balance. The resulting scheme is stable and no oscillations in the velocity or pressure fields are detected. The method is applied to test cases of ducting and the results are compared with experimental and numerical data.

Inverting an evolving diffusive scalar field to reconstruct the underlying velocity field is an underdetermined problem. Here we show, however, that for two-dimensional incompressible flows, this inverse problem can still be uniquely solved if high-resolution tracer measurements, as well as velocity measurements along a curve transverse to the instantaneous scalar contours, are available. Such measurements enable solving a system of partial differential equations for the velocity components by the method of characteristics. If the value of the scalar diffusivity is known, then knowledge of just one velocity component along a transverse initial curve is sufficient. These conclusions extend to the shallow-water equations and to flows with spatially dependent diffusivity. We illustrate our results on velocity reconstruction from tracer fields for planar Navier–Stokes flows and for a barotropic ocean circulation model. We also discuss the use of the proposed velocity reconstruction in oceanographic applications to extend localized velocity measurements to larger spatial domains with the help of remotely sensed scalar fields.
