One cannot overemphasize the importance of studying fluids in motion or at rest for a variety of scientific and engineering endeavors. Fluid mechanics as an art reaches back into antiquity, but its rational formulation is a relatively recent undertaking. Much of the physics of a particular flow situation can be understood by conducting appropriate experiments. Flow visualization techniques offer a useful tool to establish an overall picture of a flow field and to delineate broadly its salient features before embarking on more detailed quantitative measurements. Among the single-point measurements that are particularly difficult are those in separated flows, non-Newtonian fluids, rotating flows, and nuclear aerosols. Pressure, shear stress, vorticity, and heat transfer coefficient are also difficult quantities to measure, particularly for time-dependent flows. These and other special situations are among the topics covered in this volume. Each article emphasizes the development of a particular measuring technique. The topics covered were chosen because of their importance to the field, recent appeal, and potential for future development. The articles are comprehensive and coverage is pedagogical with a bias towards recent developments.

In recent years, the performance of digital computers has been improved by the rapid development of electronics at remarkable speed. In addition, substantial research has been carried out in developing numerical analysis techniques. Nowadays, a variety of problems in the engineering and scientific fields can be solved by using not only super computers but also personal computers. After the first book titled "Boundary Element" was published by Brebbia in 1978, the boundary element method (BEM) has been recognized as a powerful numerical technique which has some advantages over the finite difference method (FDM) and finite element method (FEM). A great amount of research has been carried out on the applications of BEM to various problems. The numerical analysis of fluid mechanics and heat transfer problems plays a key role in analysing some phenomena and it has become recognized as a new research field called "Computational Fluid Dynamics". In partic ular, the analysis of viscous flow including thermal convection phenomena is one of the most important problems in engineering fields. The FDM and FEM have been generally .applied to solve these problems because of non singularities of governing equations.

The GAMM Committee for Efficient Numerical Methods for Par tial Differential Equations (GAMM-FachausschuB "Effiziente numerische Verfahren fUr partielle Differenzialgleichungen") organizes conferences and seminars on subjects concerning the algorithmic treatment of partial differential equation prob lems. The first seminar "Efficient Solution of Elliptic Systems" was followed by a second one held at the University of Kiel from January 17th to January 19th, 1986. The title was "Efficient Numerical Methods in Continuum Mechanics." The equations arising in continuum mechanics have many con nections to those of fluid mechanics, but are usually more complex. Therefore, much attention has to be paid to the ef ficient discretization, postprocessing and extrapolation. The seminar was attended by 66 scientists from 10 countries. Most of the 21 lectures presented at the seminar treated the discretization of equations in continuum mechanics by finite elements, methods for improving the accuracy of these approx imations and the use of boundary elements. Other contribu tions presented efficient methods for investigating bifurca tions which play an essential role in practical applications. These proceedings contain 11 contributions in alphabetical order. The editors and organizers of the seminar would like to thank the land Schleswig-Holstein and the DFG (Deutsche Forschungs gemeinschaft) for their support. Kiel, November 1986 W. Hackbusch K.

During the week of December 8-13, 1984, a conference on Multi-Grid Methods was held at the Mathematisches Forschungs- institut (Mathematical Research Institute) in Oberwolfach. The conference was suggested by the GAMM-Committee "Effiziente numerische Verfahren fUr partielle Differentialgleichungen". We were pleased to have 42 participants from 12 countries. These proceedings contain some contributions to the confe- rence. The centre of interest in the more theoretical contri- butions were exact convergence proofs for multi-grid method. Here, the theoretical foundation for the application of the method to the Stokes equations, the biharmonic equation in its formulation as a mixed finite element problem and other more involved problems were investigated. Moreover, improvements and new attacks for getting quantitative results on convergence rates were reported. Another series of contributions was concerned with the de- velopment of highly efficient and fast algorithms for various partial differential equations. Also in this framework, the Stokes and the biharmonic equations were investigated. Other lectures treated problems from fluid mechanics (as Navier- Stokes and Euler equations), the dam-problem and eigenvalue problems. The editors would like to thank Professor M. Barner, the director of Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach for making this conference possible. D. Braess, Bochum W. Hackbusch, Kiel U. Trottenberg, St. Augustin v CONTENTS O.

INTRODUCTION 1. - The problem for analysis and requirements 2. - Results 3. - Comparison of computer times 4. - Conclusion. INTRODUCTION In 1981 it appeared to the organizers that a workshop to compare codes to solve the Navier -Stokes equations would be of great interest to the community of numerical analysts and users working on CFD (Computer fluid Dynamics}. A test problem would have to be selected with the following features: 1. it should be suited for all known methods (finite differences, finite elements, spectral ... ) thus the geometry should be simple. 2. it should be simple so that scientists with small computer facilities can test it and the gradients in the flow should be reasonable in size so that algo rithms don't blow up with a limited number of points and iterations. In practice one would have to select a stationary flow at moderate Reynolds number. 3. it should be a real flow to allow experimental asurements. The simplest problem used previously was the cavity flow problem; however the singularity of the data at the boundary (point A and B on figure 1} makes it difficult for the Finite Element and Spectral methods; furthermore it is not such an easy experiment to set up. A B .... u = 2 Flow around a cylinder, although most interesting of all, is too difficult because it is unbounded (many grid points) and very quickly unsteady {Re 30)."

One studying the motion of fluids relative to particulate systems is soon impressed by the dichotomy which exists between books covering theoretical and practical aspects. Classical hydrodynamics is largely concerned with perfect fluids which unfortunately exert no forces on the particles past which they move. Practical approaches to subjects like fluidization, sedimentation, and flow through porous media abound in much useful but uncorrelated empirical information. The present book represents an attempt to bridge this gap by providing at least the beginnings of a rational approach to fluid particle dynamics, based on first principles. From the pedagogic viewpoint it seems worthwhile to show that the Navier-Stokes equations, which form the basis of all systematic texts, can be employed for useful practical applications beyond the elementary problems of laminar flow in pipes and Stokes law for the motion of a single particle. Although a suspension may often be viewed as a continuum for practical purposes, it really consists of a discrete collection of particles immersed in an essentially continuous fluid. Consideration of the actual detailed boundary value problems posed by this viewpoint may serve to call attention to the limitation of idealizations which apply to the overall transport properties of a mixture of fluid and solid particles."

The advent of the computer has drastically changed and widened the field of applied mathematics. The "graphical and numerical methods" taught some thirty years ago rather incoherently in small courses have given way to a broad and complex treatment from very different view-points, and the struggle for ever-in-creasing accuracy has brought forth a considerable diver- sification according to the different fields of application. The mathematical theorist, striving for general theorems and unified methods, might regret this development but as long as the demands of practical problems surpass what can be achieved by purely mathematical reasoning, the physicist and the engineer will also base their endeavours on physical grounds. In the wide field of fluid mechanics this development is marked by an in- creasing number of conferences, lecture series and periodicals. It was felt, however, that the nature of the subject required a more extensive coverage of information than is possible in a ] 5 minute-8 pages paper, and that it was necessary, for instance, to give detailed reasoning, comparisons and even critical coding samples. Thus ultimately a monograph form of publication seemed desirable to back up the other channels and the idea of a specialized series was brought forth in the GAMM-Fachausschu for Numerical Methods in Fluid Mechanics. We are happy to have found in the Vieweg-Verlag a potent and understanding partner for this task and we hope for a lasting resonance both from readers and writers in this interesting field.

1. 1 Preamble The science to which this work is appended is termed rheology and rheology means the study of flow and deformation of liquids and solids with emphasis on the underlying physical processes. Characteristic for solids is that they respond to a force by deforming, and, on removal of the force, by returning to their original shape. This type of re sponse is termed elastic. Characteristic for liquids is that they deform and continue to deform as long as the force is present. This type of response is termed viscous. The two definitions just given for viscous and elastic response represent wo extremes of response to an external force. Materials do not always fall readily into one or the other of the above-mentioned categories. An additional parameter is needed to describe material response more fully. The extra param eter is time. As a general rule the faster the deformation the closer the re sponse is to being elastic, the slower the deformation the closer the response is to being viscous. Slow and fast . are factors relative to some natural time, T, of the material. This natural time may be thought connected with the rates of spontaneous diffusion of its molecular and atomic constituents. For every day fluids as water, the natural time is very short, of the order of 10-10s 1) and hence for most purposes is considered as being viscous."

R3,649 Discovery Miles 36 490 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Flowing matter is all around us, from daily-life vital processes (breathing, blood circulation), to industrial, environmental, biological, and medical sciences. Complex states of flowing matter are equally present in fundamental physical processes, far remote from our direct senses, such as quantum-relativistic matter under ultra-high temperature conditions (quark-gluon plasmas). Capturing the complexities of such states of matter stands as one of the most prominent challenges of modern science, with multiple ramifications to physics, biology, mathematics, and computer science. As a result, mathematical and computational techniques capable of providing a quantitative account of the way that such complex states of flowing matter behave in space and time are becoming increasingly important. This book provides a unique description of a major technique, the Lattice Boltzmann method to accomplish this task. The Lattice Boltzmann method has gained a prominent role as an efficient computational tool for the numerical simulation of a wide variety of complex states of flowing matter across a broad range of scales; from fully-developed turbulence, to multiphase micro-flows, all the way down to nano-biofluidics and lately, even quantum-relativistic sub-nuclear fluids. After providing a self-contained introduction to the kinetic theory of fluids and a thorough account of its transcription to the lattice framework, this text provides a survey of the major developments which have led to the impressive growth of the Lattice Boltzmann across most walks of fluid dynamics and its interfaces with allied disciplines. Included are recent developments of Lattice Boltzmann methods for non-ideal fluids, micro- and nanofluidic flows with suspended bodies of assorted nature and extensions to strong non-equilibrium flows beyond the realm of continuum fluid mechanics. In the final part, it presents the extension of the Lattice Boltzmann method to quantum and relativistic matter, in an attempt to match the major surge of interest spurred by recent developments in the area of strongly interacting holographic fluids, such as electron flows in graphene.
