Abstract We introduce a new regularization model for incompressible fluid flow, which is a regularization of the EMAC (energy, momentum, and angular momentum conserving) formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) that we call EMAC-Reg. The EMAC formulation has proved to be a useful formulation because it conserves energy, momentum and angular momentum even when the divergence constraint is only weakly enforced. However, it is still a NSE formulation and so cannot resolve higher Reynolds number flows without very fine meshes. By carefully introducing regularization into the EMAC formulation, we create a model more suitable for coarser mesh computations but that still conserves the same quantities as EMAC, i.e., energy, momentum, and angular momentum. We show that EMAC-Reg, when semi-discretized with a finite element spatial discretization is well-posed and optimally accurate. Numerical results are provided that show EMAC-Reg is a robust coarse mesh model.

An approximate solution to the Navier–Stokes equations was found for the case describing two-dimensional steady-state laminar flow over an array of porous pipes with high wall Reynolds number. The Navier–Stokes equations in cylindrical coordinates reduced to a fourth-order nonlinear differential equation, which was solved for high wall Reynolds number flows through the porous wall using a zeroth- and first-order singular perturbation method. Our analytic solution for the high wall Reynolds number case is consistent with solutions found from the low Reynolds number case and that found using finite element analysis.

It is shown that, for a spherically symmetric expansion of a gas into a low pressure, the shock wave with area change region discussed earlier (Freeman & Kumar 1972) can be further divided into two parts. For the Navier–Stokes equation, these are a region in which the asymptotic zero-pressure behaviour predicted by Ladyzhenskii is achieved followed further downstream by a transition to subsonic-type flow. The distance of this final region downstream is of order (pressure)−2/3 × (Reynolds number)−1/3.

For a clear and comprehensive opinion on segregated SIMPLE algorithm in the area of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) during liquid processing of materials, the most significant developments on the SIMPLE algorithm and its variants are briefly reviewed. Subsequently, some important advances during last 30 years serving as increasing numerical accuracy, enhancing robustness and improving efficiency for Navier–Stokes (N-S) equations of incompressible fluid flow are summarized. And then a so-called Direct-SIMPLE scheme proposed by the authors of present paper introduced, which is different from SIMPLE-like schemes, no iterative computations are needed to achieve the final pressure and velocity corrections. Based on the facts cited in present paper, it conclude that the SIMPLE algorithm and its variants will continue to evolve aimed at convergence and accuracy of solution by improving and combining various methods with different grid techniques, and all the algorithms mentioned above will enjoy widespread use in the future.

AbstractOur concern in this paper is with high-Reynolds-number nonlinear equilibrium solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations for boundary-layer flows. Here we consider the asymptotic suction boundary layer (ASBL) which we take as a prototype parallel boundary layer. Solutions of the equations of motion are obtained using a homotopy continuation from two known types of solutions for plane Couette flow. At high Reynolds numbers, it is shown that the first type of solution takes the form of a vortex–wave interaction (VWI) state, see Hall & Smith (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 227, 1991, pp. 641–666), and is located in the main part of the boundary layer. On the other hand, here the second type is found to support an equilibrium solution of the unit-Reynolds-number Navier–Stokes equations in a layer located a distance of $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}O(\ln \mathit{Re})$ from the wall. Here $\mathit{Re}$ is the Reynolds number based on the free-stream speed and the unperturbed boundary-layer thickness. The streaky field produced by the interaction grows exponentially below the layer and takes its maximum size within the unperturbed boundary layer. The results suggest the possibility of two distinct types of streaky coherent structures existing, possibly simultaneously, in disturbed boundary layers.

Using direct numerical simulations performed on periodic cubes of various sizes, the largest being $8192^3$ , we examine the nonlinear advection term in the Navier–Stokes equations generating fully developed turbulence. We find significant dissipation even in flow regions where nonlinearity is locally absent. With increasing Reynolds number, the Navier–Stokes dynamics amplifies the nonlinearity in a global sense. This nonlinear amplification with increasing Reynolds number renders the vortex stretching mechanism more intermittent, with the global suppression of nonlinearity, reported previously, restricted to low Reynolds numbers. In regions where vortex stretching is absent, the angle and the ratio between the convective vorticity and solenoidal advection in three-dimensional isotropic turbulence are statistically similar to those in the two-dimensional case, despite the fundamental differences between them.
