An improved [Formula: see text]-factor algorithm for implementing total variation diminishing (TVD) scheme has been proposed for the gradient smoothing method (GSM) using unstructured meshes. Different from the methods using structured meshes, for the methods using unstructured meshes, generally the upwind point cannot be clearly defined. In the present algorithm, the value of upwind point has been successfully approximated for unstructured meshes by using the GSM with different gradient smoothing schemes, including node GSM (nGSM) midpoint GSM (mGSM) and centroid GSM (cGSM). The present method has been used to solve hyperbolic partial differential equation discontinuous problems, where three classical flux limiters (Superbee, Van leer and Minmod) were used. Numerical results indicate that the proposed algorithm based on mGSM and cGSM schemes can avoid the numerical oscillation and reduce the numerical diffusion effectively. Generally the scheme based on cGSM leads to the best performance among the three proposed schemes in terms of accuracy and monotonicity.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is very widespread use every day as a tool in fluid flow analyses. In order to solve the Partial Differential Equation (PDE), there are few approach been introduced. The total variation diminishing (TVD) is a most popular scheme which is usually used in combination with other scheme. Therefore, this study develops CFD code by using Runge-Kutta which based on combination of central scheme and TVD scheme. Comparison was done through purely Runge-Kutta and after implemented TVD. The result shows that combination of Runge-Kutta and TVD approach are more stable as compared to purely Runge-Kutta approach.

In this paper, vortex-shedding patterns and lock-in characteristics that vortex-shedding frequency synchronizes with the natural frequency of a thin cambered blade were numerically investigated. The numerical simulation was based on solving the vorticity-stream function equations with the fourth-order Runge–Kutta scheme in time and the Chakravaythy–Oscher total variation diminishing (TVD) scheme was used to discretize the convective term. The vortex-shedding patterns for different blade attack angles were simulated. In order to confirm whether the vortex shedding would induce blade self-oscillation, numerical simulation was also carried out for blade in a forced oscillation. By changing the pitching frequency and amplitude, the occurrence of lock-in at certain attack angles was determined. Inside the lock-in zone, phase differences between the blade’s pitching displacement and the torque acting on the blade were used to infer the probability of the blade self-oscillation.

A high-resolution, total variation diminishing (TVD) stable scheme is derived for scalar hyperbolic problems using the method of flux limiters. The scheme was constructed by combining the 1st-order upwind scheme and the 3rd-order quadratic upstream interpolation scheme (QUICK) using new flux limiter function. The new flux limiter function was established by imposing several conditions to ensure the TVD properties of the scheme. For temporal discretization, the theta method was used, and values for the parameter θ were chosen such that the scheme is unconditionally stable. Numerical results are presented for one-dimensional pure advection problems with smooth and discontinuous initial conditions and are compared to those of other known numerical schemes. The results show that the proposed numerical method is stable and of higher order than other common schemes.
