HI to All,

I am trying to solve Lid Driven Cavity problem using Finite Volume Method, for that i want to use Simple Algorithm. I have all ready solve LDC using Artificial Compressibility now i want to use SIMPLE Algorithm to solve velocity-pressure coupling, for that i am following Versteeg's book.

I am using steady navier stokes equations for LDC.

The procedure that i have adopted is given below:

1. Initialize u*,v*,p*
2. Solve Discretised momentum equation and Calculated u*,v*

NOW comes the problem. in step 3 when i try to calculate p'.
3.
the equation is
a[i,j]p'[i,j]=a[i-1,j]p'[i-1,j]+a[i+1,j]p'[i+1,j]+a[i,j-1]p'[i,j-1]+a[i,j+1]p'[i,j+1]+b'[i,j]

a[i-1,j]=(d A)[i-1,j]

a[i+1,j]=(d A)[i+1,j]

a[i,j-1]=(d A)[i,j-1]

a[i,j+1]=(d A)[i,j+1]

b'[i,j] = (u*A)[i-1,j]-(u*A)[i+1,j]+(v*A)[i,j+1]-(v*A)[i,j-1]
In this equation i need d to be calculated which is d=A/a where a is the centeral coefficient of velocity equation.
where i try to calculate this it some how a become zero which makes d=infinity. and p' become undefined or infinity. that cause problems in step 4 i.e.
4.
p[i,j]=p*[i,j]+p'[i,j]
u[i,j]=u*[i,j]+d[i,j]*(p'[i-1,j]-p'[i,j])
u[i,j]=u[i,j]+u[i,j]*(p'[i,j-1]-p'[i,j])
5. Set Boundary condition for u and v
6. Set Wall presure gradient to zero
7. Copy Values
p*=p
u*=u
v*=v
8. Check Convergence. and goto Step 1

My main problem is step 3 any sugesstions for that? (I am using c++)

Junaid

Junaid

Hi Junaid

I do not know how you defined your notations but your implementation is a bit weird.

You should rather have something like:

ap[i,j]p'[i,j]=aw[i,j]p'[i-1,j]+ae[i,j]p'[i+1,j]+as[i,j]p'[i,j-1]+an[i,j]p'[i,j+1]+b'[i,j]

[JunaidAhmad]

Yes your are correct yours make more sense. Mine your are same.
So any thoughts how to calculate d

[Michail]

Hi Junaid Ahmad!

Take a look here http://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Sampl...9_-_Fortran_90

Hope this will help

[JunaidAhmad]

This is Pressure Correction File. First let me tell you that i have no working knowledge of FORTRAN So its hard for me to understand this. If I am not wrong then its your code. it will be very help full if you explain it and tell me which book you follow to develop your understanding. Or at least explain the Highlighted terms in this code.

Regards

Junaid

Hi Junaid,

The code of Michail is really well writen and the notations are very understanable because intuitive. Greatings for him !!

You should first read a book on finite volume method and SIMPLE like the ones of Patankar, Peric or Versteek.
The one of Peric should be better because Michail used colocated variables arrangement based on Rhie and Chow interpolation. So for this purpose I think Peric's book is better oriented.

However just reading the code of Michail you understand what he is talking about...

DpU(2:NXmax,2:NYmax) = 1./Ap(2:NXmax,2:NYmax,1)
DpV(2:NXmax,2:NYmax) = 1./Ap(2:NXmax,2:NYmax,2)


This is 1./AP coefficient involved in the derivation of the pressure equation and correction velocities. Check for simple algorithm in dedicated books.
AP is the central coefficent there is one for U momentum equation --> APU and one for V-momentum APV.
in fact for Michail APU(i,j) = AP(i,j,1)
APV(i,j) = AP(i,j,2)
because he works with vector componnents style

!************************************************* ***************************************

If((i.ne.1).and.(i.ne.NXmax))then


DXc_e = Xc(i+1,j+1) - Xc(i,j+1)

this is the distance between node P and node E

S_e = Y(i ,j+1) - Y(i,j )

This is the east surface S_e

VOL_e = DXc_e * S_e


!-------------------------------------------------------------
APU_e = 0.5 * ( DpU(i,j+1) + DpU(i+1,j+1) )

this is the iterpolation of 1/APU at east location

Ul_e = 0.5 * ( F(i,j+1,1) + F(i+1,j+1,1) )

this is the interpolation of F on east location.I don't knowyet what is F but it doesn't matter

DPl_e = 0.5 * ( DPx_c(i,j+1) + DPx_c(i+1,j+1) )

the same for interpolation of DPx

DPx_e = ( F(i+1,j+1,4) - F(i,j+1,4) ) / DXc_e

this is the gradient of variable F at east location usint central difference.
probaby the gradient of pressure I guess

U_e = Ul_e + APU_e * VOL_e * ( DPl_e - DPx_e)

This is the interpolated velocity using at east location using the interpolation of Rhie and Chow

!--------------------------------------------------------------
Con_e(i,j) = U_e * S_e

this is the convective flux.



End If



End

Really get a book on FV , SIMPLE algorithm with Rhie and Chow interpolation and everything will be clear for you because the code is really clear!!

[JunaidAhmad]

Thanks,

I am following verseek's book, and in it d(i-1,j)=A(i-1,j)/ap(i-1,j)

A(i-1,j) is area of west face
ap(i-1,j) is central coefficient of velocity
the problem is when i calculate ap by use the value of u* and v* and use it to find p' it some how blow up the velocity field, and when i use that to calculate ap which is ap = aw+ae+an+as+dF
For Hybrid scheme in that e.g. ae=Max(De-Fe/2,-Fe,0)
and Fe=0.5*(uP+uE)
De=Gama if dx=dy
so when velocity blowup everything went side ways.

So what should i use when i calculate ap do i use u* or u the corrected velocity.
Anyways i try to find this book of Peric and see how it works.

Dear Leflix

May I'll include Your explanations into the code? I guess it'l be better for future?

of course Michail, you are welcome!

[michaelmoor.aero]

I have a working Poiseulle flow problem based on Versteeg which matches nicely to the Hagen-Poiseulle velocity profile. It is extremey well annotated and culd be of great help.

It has under-relaxation and uses the JAcobi method, and was possible due to members of this forum such as Ztdep and houkensjtu.

The only problems that i have, are that the momentum resuduals do not get much better that 1e-3, and that the largest mesh that i am able to solve for (without divergence or stagnation) is about 34*34.... I would greatly appreciate any help, but for right now, you can look at my code...

Regards,
Michael

[JunaidAhmad]

If you implemented versteeks method then would realy like to take a look at it. you may give me the like of send me the code at tojunaidahmad@hotmail.com

Junaid

[Michail]

Dear Junaid

I offer to take a look through M.Peric codes

ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/technik/peric/

There are both staggered and collocated grids codes for SIMPLE-algorithm.

As concerned M.Peric book I offer to check torrents and previous posts on CFD-online.

Fight for CFD and CFD will fight for You

Best wishes
Michail

[JunaidAhmad]

Thanks Michail, i need to know what is the best time to add under relaxation factor in the calculation of p, u, and v. now when i revisit the literature i find out that it is the under relaxation factor that cause divergence to me solution.

Regards
Junaid

were you using implicit under-relaxation for u and v? what values were you using for under-relaxation to make it diverge? I am having a similar issue...

[JunaidAhmad]

what is the good method for under relaxation do i use






or use URF embedded in the discretised momentum equation

Junaid

Junaid

If you look at Versteeg page 189, you will find that by applying the under-relaxation to the momentum equations yields the under-relaxed form of equations...6.36 and 6.37, they are not separate mehtods, and i believe that it is called implicit under-relaxation, and it the same form as that of peric.

AS for pressure under-relaxation, I understand it such that only the correction is under-relaxed... i.e. pnew = p* +alphap*p'

[JunaidAhmad]

I don't understand i did exactly what is written in book. it didn't work. I did the same think using artificial compressibility and it worked but using SIMPLE method it did not. the only thing left for me is to paste the code a let you guys decide what is wrong with it.

But first i have to go through one more time.

[michaelmoor.aero]

It sounds that easy!

Did you get the code that i sent? I have now upgraded it to SIMPLEC also, and it is working well.

[JunaidAhmad]

Yes i got the code . and its approach and mine is the same i.e. hi-bride scheme.


why we need SIMPLE Algorithm when We have Artificial compressibility?

thank you would be nice.


as for artificial compressibility, that is outside of my knowledge.
