Titolo: | Level-Set Ghost Fluid Methods for Free Boundary Problems in Incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes Equations |
Abstract: | The present work is devoted to the study of free boundary problems for Euler and Navier-Stokes equations in primitive variables. The goal of the present work is to elaborate a methodology for numerical modeling of all kinds of incompressible viscous fluids, having in mind possible application to deep water, lava flow simulation and crust formation.
Our approach could be essentially divided in three fundamental components: finite difference for spatial approximation, second order accurate method for temporal discretization and level set methods for boundary representation.
The domain is discretized by a regular Cartesian grid. The boundary is described by level set methods. In this context the boundary is seen as a zero level set of a specific function. Navier-Stokes equations is solved starting from Semi-Lagrangian methods, achieving second order accuracy in time and space. Resolution of Navier-Stokes equations allows a Poisson problem for pressure as an intermediate step. This is solved by multigrid methods. The velocity and the pressure are computed by solving a single implicit system solved iteratively. |
