2017-07-19

In this work, we provide a unified and comparative description of the most prominent phase field based two-phase flow models and present our numerical results of the application of Galerkin-based Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) to incompressible Navier–Stokes–Cah...

The arbitrary order mimetic finite difference method for a diffusion equation with a non-symmetric diffusion tensor

We present the arbitrary order mimetic finite difference (MFD) discretization for the diffusion equation with non-symmetric tensorial diffusion coefficient in a mixed formulation on general polygonal meshes. The diffusion tensor is assumed to be positive defi...

Effects of High-Frequency Damping on Iterative Convergence of Implicit Viscous Solver

Stellar surface as low-rank modification in iterative methods for binary neutron stars

10.1016/j.jcp.2017.07.026

2017-07-18

We present a new multidomain spectral method for the treatment of non-spherical stellar surfaces in iterative methods for binary neutron stars. A stellar surface changes throughout the course of an iterative solution, potentially stalling the convergence. Our...

A continuum mechanics-based musculo-mechanical model for esophageal transport

10.1016/j.jcp.2017.07.025

2017-07-18

In this work, we extend our previous esophageal transport model using an immersed boundary (IB) method with discrete fiber-based structural model, to one using a continuum mechanics-based model that is approximated based on finite elements (IB-FE). To deal wi...

A new multi-domain method based on an analytical control surface for linear and second-order mean drift wave loads on floating bodies

10.1016/j.jcp.2017.07.014

2017-07-18

A novel multi-domain method based on an analytical control surface is proposed by combining the use of free-surface Green function and Rankine source function. A cylindrical control surface is introduced to subdivide the fluid domain into external and interna...

High order ADER schemes for a unified first order hyperbolic formulation of Newtonian continuum mechanics coupled with electro-dynamics

10.1016/j.jcp.2017.07.020

2017-07-17

In this paper, we propose a new unified first order hyperbolic model of Newtonian continuum mechanics coupled with electro-dynamics. The model is able to describe the behavior of moving elasto-plastic dielectric solids as well as viscous and inviscid fluids i...

SPH with dynamical smoothing length adjustment based on the local flow kinematics

10.1016/j.jcp.2017.07.023

2017-07-17

Due to the Lagrangian nature of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), the adaptive resolution remains a challenging task. In this work we first analyse the influence of the simulation parameters and the smoothing length on the solution accuracy, in particula...
