A comprehensive study has been made for the investigation of the convergence and stability characteristics of the LU scheme for solving the Navier-Stokes equations on unstructured meshes. For this purpose the characteristics of the LU scheme was initially studied for a scalar model equation. Then the analysis was extended to the Navier-Stokes equations. It was shown that the LU scheme has an inherent stiffness in the streamwise direction. This stiffness increases when the grid aspect ratio becomes high and the cell Reynolds number becomes small. It was also shown that the stiffness related to the grid aspect ratio can be effectively eliminated by performing proper subiteration. The results were validated for a flat-plate turbulent flow.

The objective of this study is convergence acceleration of multigrid Navier-Stokes solvers. This study has been performed to enhance the performance of preconditioned multi-stage time stepping method which is a popular smoother for the multigrid Navier-Stokes solvers. Comparative study on the convergence characteristics of the ADI and DDADI preconditioners has been conducted. It is shown that the DDADI preconditioner has better performance than the ADI by numerical tests on the 2-D compressible turbulent flows past airfoils. The Spalart-Allmaras turbulent model and the Baldwin-Lomax turbulent model have been compared with the multigrid calculations.

컴퓨터 성능향상과 수치해석기법의 발달로 인해 Navier-Stokes 방정식에 기초한 수치모델을 활용한 3차원 유동/파동장 해석이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 아직까지 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모델의 계산부하를 PC에서 소화하기에는 무리가 따른다. 게다가 실험실 스케일을 벗어나, 실제 현장을 계산영역으로 설정할 경우에는 계산량이 엄청나게 증가하게 된다. 이것을 극복하기 위해서는 반듯이 병렬계산을 수행하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 계산부하가 큰 Navier-Stokes 방정식 기반의 3차원 수치모델 LES-WASS-3D를 활용한 대용량 병렬계산체계를 구축한다. 나아가 3차원 정밀 또는 광역의 유동/파동장 해석에 있어서 병렬계산체계의 성능과 적용성을 검토한다. 현재 보급되고 있는 PC들은 모두 멀티프로세서가 장착됨으로 손쉽게 병렬계산을 수행할 수 있다. 그러나 정밀 또는 광역해석을 위해서는 대용량 병렬계산 컴퓨터가 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 보조프로세서를 장착한 공유메모리 환경의 고성능 병렬계산체계를 구축한다. 나아가 포트란 기반의 순차코드로 구축된 기존 3차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모델 LES-WASS- 3D를 병렬코드로 변환한다. 병렬계산 성능 및 적용성을 검토하기 위한 수치해석을 수행한다. 이상의 과정을 통해 본 연구에서 구축한 병렬계산체계의 성능 및 적용성을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 3차원 유동/파동장 해석에 있어서 정확도 향상뿐 아니라, 계산영역을 확장할 수 있는 계기가 마련되었다. 또한 유동/파동 해석보다 많은 계산시간이 필요한 지형변동 해석에도 충분히 적용될 수 있다고 판단된다.

The limit of applicability of Navier-Stokes equation to stationary plane shock-waves is examined by using the principle of minimum entropy production of linear irreversible thermodynamics. In order to obtain analytic results, the equation is linearized near the equilibrium of downstream. Results show that the solution of Navier-Stokes equation which fits the boundary condition of far downstream flow is consistent with the thermodynamic requirement within the first order when the solution is expanded around the M=1, where M is the Mach number of upstream speed.

This study concentrates on the upwind schemes for convergence acceleration of the multigrid method for the Navier-Stokes equations. Comparative study of the upwind schemes in the Fourier space has been performed to identify why the second-order upwind scheme with enlarged stencil can be preconditioned better than the classical second-order upwind scheme. The full-coarsening multigrid method with implicit preconditioned multistage scheme has been implemented for verification of analysis. Numerical simulations on the inviscid and turbulent flows with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulent model have been performed. The results showed consistent trend with the analysis.

The objective of this study is to develop efficient numerical method to enable solution of optimal control problems of Navier-Stokes flows and to apply these technique to the problem of viscous drag minimization on a bluff body by controlling boundary velocities on the surface of the body. In addition to the industrial importance of the drag reduction problem, it serves as a model for other more complex flow optimization settings, and allows us to study, modify, and improve the behavior of the optimal control methods proposed here. The control is affected by the suction or injection of fluid on portions of the boundary, and the objective function represents the rate at which energy is dissipated in the fluid. This study shows how reduced Hessian successive quadratic programming method, which avoid converging the flow equations at each iteration, can be tailored to these problems.

It is shown that the cubic law can be modified regarding the steady-state Navier-Stokes equations by using perturbation approximation method for a sinusoidal aperture variation. In order to adopt the perturbation theory, the sinusoidal function needs to be non-dimensionalized for the amplitude and wavelength. Then, the steady-state Navier-Stokes equations can be solved by expanding the non-dimensionalized stream function with respect to the small value of the parameter (the ratio of the mean aperture to the wavelength), together with the continuity equation. From the approximate solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, the basic cubic law is successfully modified for the steady-state condition and a sinusoidal aperture variation. A finite difference method is adopted to calculate the pressure within a fracture model, and the results of numerical experiments show the accuracy and applicability of the modified cubic law. As a result, it is noted that the modified cubic law, suggested in this study, will be used for the analysis of fluid flow through aperture geometry of sinusoidal distributions.

The main objective of the research is to develop a research code solving transient incompressible Navier-Stokes equation. In this research code, Adams-Bashforth method was applied to the convective terms of the navier stokes equation and the splitted equations were discretized spatially by finite element methods to solve the complex geometry problems easily. To reduce the divergence on the boundaries of pressure poisson equation due to the unsuitable pressure boundary conditions, multi step approximation pressure boundary conditions derived from the boundary linear momentum equations were used. Simulations of Lid Driven Flow and Flow over Cylinder were conducted to prove the accuracy by means of the comparison with results of the previous workers.

Two-dimensional Navier-Stokes code has been developed for analysis of turbomachinery blade rows and other internal flows. The Navier-Stokes equations are written in a Cartesian coordinate system, then mapped into a generalized body-fitted coordinate system. All direction of viscous terms are incorporated and turbulent effects are modeled using the Baldwin-Lomax algebraic model. Equation are discretized using finite difference method on the C-type grids and solved using implicit LU-ADI decomposition scheme. Calculations are made at a VKI turbine cascade flow in a transonic wind-tunnel and compared to experimental data. Present numerical scheme is shown to be in good agreement with the previous experimental results and simulates the two-dimensional viscous flow phenomena.
