Abstract Turbulent magnetically flows occur in a wide range of material processing systems involving electrically conducting melts. This paper presents a parallel higher order scheme for the direct numerical simulation of turbulent magnetically driven flows in induction channels. The numerical method is based on the higher order finite difference algorithm, which enjoys the spectral accuracy while minimizing the computational intensity. This, coupled with the parallel computing strategy, provides a very useful means to simulate turbulent flows. The higher order finite difference formulation of magnetically driven flow problems is described in this paper. The details of the parallel algorithm and its implementation for the simulations on parallel machines are discussed. The accuracy and numerical performance of the higher order finite difference scheme are assessed in comparison with the spectral method. The examples of turbulent magnetically driven flows in induction channels and pressure gradient driven flows in regular channels are given, and the computed results are compared with experimental measurements wherever possible.

AbstractThis paper presents an exponential compact higher order scheme for Convection-Diffusion Equations (CDE) with variable and nonlinear convection coefficients. The scheme is for one-dimensional problems and produces a tri-diagonal system of equations which can be solved efficiently using Thomas algorithm. For two-dimensional problems, the scheme produces an accuracy over a compact nine point stencil which can be solved using any line iterative approach with alternate direction implicit procedure. The convergence of the iterative procedure is guaranteed as the coefficient matrix of the developed scheme satisfies the conditions required to be positive. Wave number analysis has been carried out to establish that the scheme is comparable in accuracy with spectral methods. The higher order accuracy and better rate of convergence of the developed scheme have been demonstrated by solving numerous model problems for one and two-dimensional CDE, where the solutions have the sharp gradient at the solution boundary.

This paper presents a parallelized, dynamic solution adaptive, multi-grid, overset Chimera unstructured finite volume solver for all-speed flows. The methods and schemes applicable for all speeds were implemented in the general-purpose CFD computer code. The hanging node solution adaptation, parallel computing algorithm using MPI libraries, overset chimera grid to allow multiple moving bodies calculation and algebraic multi-grid speeding-up convergence method were all facilitated in the solver. With the enhancement of higher order scheme data reconstruction, higher order upwind-biased differencing, multi-pressure-correction, and Bi-CGSTAB and GMRES matrix solvers, the solver can efficiently and accurately handle flow problems in several cases including benchmark and practical.
