We revisit the issue of finding proper boundary conditions for the field equations describing incompressible flow problems, for quantities like pressure or vorticity, which often do not have immediately obvious “physical” boundary conditions. Most of the issues are discussed for the example of a primitive-variables formulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the form of momentum equations plus the pressure Poisson equation. However, analogous problems also exist in other formulations, some of which are briefly reviewed as well. This review article cites 95 references.

AbstractWe propose novel ensemble calculation methods for Navier–Stokes equations subject to various initial conditions, forcing terms and viscosity coefficients. We establish the stability of the schemes under a CFL condition involving velocity fluctuations. Similar to related works, the schemes require solution of a single system with multiple right-hand sides. Moreover, we extend the ensemble calculation method to problems with open boundary conditions, with provable energy stability.

The primitive variable formulation originally developed for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations is applied for the solution of the incompressible Euler equations. The unsteady momentum equation is solved for the velocity field and the continuity equation is satisfied indirectly in a Poisson-type equation for the pressure (divergence of the momentum equation). Solutions for the pressure Poisson equation with derivative boundary conditions exist only if a compatibility condition is satisfied (Green’s theorem). This condition is not automatically satisfied on nonstaggered grids. A new method for the solution of the pressure equation with derivative boundary conditions on a nonstaggered grid [25] is used here for the calculation of the pressure. Three-dimensional solutions for the inviscid rotational flow in a 90 deg curved duct are obtained on a very fine mesh (17 × 17 × 29). The use of a fine grid mesh allows for the accurate prediction of the development of the secondary flow. The computed results are in good agreement with the experimental data of Joy [15].

AbstractBased on full domain partition, three parallel iterative finite-element algorithms are proposed and analyzed for the Navier–Stokes equations with nonlinear slip boundary conditions. Since the nonlinear slip boundary conditions include the subdifferential property, the variational formulation of these equations is variational inequalities of the second kind. In these parallel algorithms, each subproblem is defined on a global composite mesh that is fine with size h on its subdomain and coarse with size H (H ≫ h) far away from the subdomain, and then we can solve it in parallel with other subproblems by using an existing sequential solver without extensive recoding. All of the subproblems are nonlinear and are independently solved by three kinds of iterative methods. Compared with the corresponding serial iterative finite-element algorithms, the parallel algorithms proposed in this paper can yield an approximate solution with a comparable accuracy and a substantial decrease in computational time. Contributions of this paper are as follows: (1) new parallel algorithms based on full domain partition are proposed for the Navier–Stokes equations with nonlinear slip boundary conditions; (2) nonlinear iterative methods are studied in the parallel algorithms; (3) new theoretical results about the stability, convergence and error estimates of the developed algorithms are obtained; (4) some numerical results are given to illustrate the promise of the developed algorithms.
