The transport equation is split into two successive initial value problems:a pure convection problem and a pure diffusion problem.For the pure convection problem,solutions are found by the method of characteristiCS.The solution algorithm involves tracing the characteristic lines backwards in time from a vertex of an element to an interior point.A cubic polynomial is used to interpolate the concentration and its derivatives within each element.For the diffusion problem,an explicit finite element algorithm is employed.Numerical examples are given which agree well with the analytical solutions.展开更多

Jakoobsson-Floberg-Olsson (JFO) pressure conditions were incorporated for the study of cavitation in a liquid-lubricated journal bearings. Shear flow component of the oil film was first solved by a modified upwind finite difference method. The solution of the pressure gradient flow component was completed by the Galerkin finite element method. Present OSM solutions for a slider bearing are in agreement with Elord's results. OSM was then applied to herringbone grooved journal bearing in this work. The film pressure, cavitation areas, load capacity and attitude angle were obtained with JFO pressure conditions. The calculated load capacities are in agreement with Hirs's experimental data. A comparison of the present results and those predicted by the Reynolds pressure conditions shows some differences. The numerical results indicate that the load capacity and the critical mass of journal (linear stability indicator) are higher, and the attitude angle is lower than those predicted by Reynolds pressure conditions in cases of high eccentricities.展开更多

The stability analysis is given for the ADI method for first-order time derivatives and for the LOD (locally one-dimensional) methods for second-order time derivatives.The higher-order methods are unconditionally stable.Some numerical experiments verify our results.展开更多

As expected, a settling truncated cylinder turns its broadside perpendicular to the main stream direction and the center of mass moves to the central axis of the channel. In the case of two truncated cylinders, they first move around each other for a while and then stay together in a "T" shape. After the "T" shape has been formed for a long enough time, we found no vortex shedding behind the cylinders. When simulating the fluidization of 60 truncated cylinders, we captured the features of interactions among fluidized cylinders as observed in experiments.展开更多

These methods are based on time-discretization by operator-splitting and take advantage of a characterization of the solutions involving some kind of Lagrange multipliers. The full discretization is achieved by combining the above operator-splitting methods with finite element approximations, the advection being treated by a wave-like equation 'equivalent' formulation easier to implement than the method of characteristics or high order upwinding methods. The authors illustrate the methodology discussed in this article with the results of numerical experiments concerning the simulation of wall driven cavity Bingham flow in two dimensions.展开更多
