Application contents
Finite element solvers
The application provides solvers for the Stokes and Navier-Stokes problems using stabilized finite element strategies. While the default approach is based on an Eulerian description of the flow (fixed mesh), all elements support moving parts descirbed using an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) description of motion.
Numerical approach
Elements
Support for linear triangles and tetrahedra. All elements use Variational Multiscale (VMS) stabilization.
- The element used by the monolithic solver supports either ASGS or OSS stabilization.
- The fractional step element uses split-OSS type stabilization.
Boundary Conditions
- Fixed inflow velocity.
- Slip and No-slip fixed boundaries.
- Turbulent wall-law friction: log-linear and Werner-Wengle models.
- Imposed external pressure.
Turbulence
Support for turbulence modelling:
- RANS: Spalart-Allmaras.
- LES: Smagorinsky.
Constitutive Laws
- Newtonian.
- Bingham.
- Hershel-Bulkley.
Time Integration Schemes
- Steady solution.
- Bossak (generalized-alpha type scheme).
- BDF2.
Solving Strategies
- Stokes solver.
- Navier-Stokes Monolithic solution strategy.
- Segregated Navier-Stokes fractional-step strategy.
- Support for embedded objects.
Utilities
- Basic support for Dynamic Smagorinsky LES modeling.
- Periodic boundary conditions.
