In this work the 3D dynamics of two immiscible liquids in unbounded domain at low Reynolds numbers is considered. The numerical method is based on the boundary element method, which is very efficient for simulation of the three-dimensional problems in infinite domains. To accelerate calculations and increase the problem size, a heterogeneous approach to parallelization of the computations on the central (CPU) and graphics (GPU) processors is applied. To accelerate the iterative solver (GMRES) and overcome the limitations associated with the size of the memory of the computation system, the software component of the matrix-vector product

In the present work the dynamics of bubbles containing compressible gas is studied in the presence of an acoustic field at low Reynolds numbers. The numerical approach is based on the boundary element method (BEM), which is effective for three-dimensional simulation. The application of the standard BEM to the compressible bubble dynamics faces the problem of the degeneracy of the algebraic system. To solve this problem, additional relationships based on the Lorentz reciprocity principle are used. Test calculations of the dynamics of one and several bubbles in an acoustic field are presented.

The boundary element method is applied to the solution of incompressible fluid flow problems governed by the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations. The differential equations are transformed into integral equations. Indication of the transformation is given in detail. Application to simple flow cases such as the driven cavity and forward facing step is presented. Convergence difficulties are indicated, which have limited the applications to flows of low Reynolds numbers..

The present paper is dedicated to the investigation of the 3D dynamics of two viscous immiscible liquids in an unbounded domain at low Reynolds numbers. The numerical technique is based on the boundary element method. To accelerate the calculations and increase the problem scale the parallelization of computations on graphic processors (GPU) using CUDA technology is used. The inclination angle and the deformation of droplets in a shear flow at various parameters are studied. The obtained results are compared with the experimental data represented in the literature, numerical results and the small deformations theory. The calculation of rheological characteristics for dilute emulsions in shear flow is carried out for different viscosity ratios of internal and external liquids.

A general boundary element method (BEM) for the complete three-dimensional Biot consolidation theory is developed which operates directly in the time domain and requires only boundary discretization. Consequently, the dimensionality of the problem is reduced by one and the method becomes quite attractive for geotechnical analyses, particularly those that involve extensive or infinite domains. Furthermore, as a result of a well-known analogy fully elaborated here, the new BEM formulation is equally applicable for quasi-static thermoelasticity. Several detailed examples are presented to illustrate the accuracy and suitability of this boundary element approach for both consolidation and thermomechanical analyses.

In the present work creeping three-dimensional flows of a viscous liquid in a cylindrical tube and a channel of variable cross-section are studied. A qualitative triangulation of the surface of a cylindrical tube, a smoothed and experimental channel of a variable cross section is constructed. The problem is solved numerically using boundary element method in several modifications for a periodic and non-periodic flows. The obtained numerical results are compared with the analytical solution for the Poiseuille flow.

An approach to developing a general technique for constructing reduced-order models of unsteady flows about three-dimensional complex geometries is presented. The boundary element method along with the potential flow is used to analyze unsteady flows over two-dimensional airfoils, three-dimensional wings, and wing-body configurations. Eigenanalysis of unsteady flows over a NACA 0012 airfoil, a three-dimensional wing with the NACA 0012 section and a wing-body configuration is performed in time domain based on the unsteady boundary element formulation. Reduced-order models are constructed with and without the static correction. The numerical results demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the present method in reduced-order modeling of unsteady flows over complex configurations.
