High-Order Spatial and Temporal Methods for Simulation and Sensitivity Analysis of High-Speed Flows PI Dimitri J. Mavriplis University of Wyoming Co-PI Luigi Martinelli Princeton University
Project Scope and Relevance • Develop novel approaches for improving simulation capabilities for high-speed flows • Emerging consensus about higher-order methods • May be only way to get desired accuracy • Asymptotic arguments • Superior scalability • Sensitivity analysis and adjoint methods • Now seen as indispensible component of new emerging class of simulation tools • Automated (adaptive) solution process with certifiable accuracy • Other novel approaches: BGK methods
Advantages of DG Discretizations 2.5 million cell DG (h-p Multigrid) • Superior Asymptotic Properties • Smaller meshes • Easier to generate/manage • Superior Scalability: small meshes on many cores • Dense kernels, well suited for GPUs, Cell processors
Disadvantages of DG Discretizations • High-Risk, Revolutionary • Still no production level DG code for subsonics • Relies on smooth solution behavior to achieve favorable asymptotic accuracy • Difficulties for strong shocks • Robustness issues
Overview of Current Work • Viscous discretizations and solvers for DG • ALE Formulation for moving meshes • BGK Flux flunction implementation/results • Shock capturing - Artificial dissipation - High-order filtering/limiting • Adjoint-based h-p refinement - Shocks captured with no limiting/added dissipation • Conclusions
Extension to Viscous Flows • DG methods developed initially for hyperbolic problems • Diffusion terms for DG non-trivial • Interior Penalty (IP) method • Simplest approach, compact stencil • Explicit expression for penalty parameter derived (JCP) • IP method derived and implemented for compressible Navier-Stokes formulation up to p=5 • Studied symmetric and non-symmetric forms for IP • h and p independent convergence observed for Poisson and Navier-Stokes problems
DG Navier-Stokes Solutions • Mach =0.5, Re =5000 • 2000 mesh elements • Non-symmetric grid
DG Navier-Stokes Solutions • h-p multigrid convergence maintained (50 – 80 cycles) • Accuracy validated by comparison with high-resolution finite-volume results • Separation location ~ 81% chord (p=3) p=1: second-order accuracy p=3: fourth-order accuracy
Solution of DG Discretization for NS Equations • h-p multigrid solver: h and p independent convergence rates • Used as preconditioner to GMRES for further efficiency improvements
Kinetic Based Flux Formulations (BGK)L. Martinelli Princeton University • Alternative for extension to Navier-Stokes: • It is not necessary to compute the rate of strain tensor in order to calculate viscous fluxes • Automatic upwinding via the kinetic model. • Satisfy Entropy Condition (H-Theorem) at the discrete level. • Implemented in 2D Unstructured Finite-Volume code by Martinelli • Extension to 2D DG code under development

DG Filtering for Strong Shocks Lax-Friedrichs Van Leer • Shock resolution determined by convergence robustness • (not necessarily property of flux function) • Van Leer flux could be run with larger filter l value • Higher order solutions should deliver higher resolution shocks • Convergence issues remain above p=2

Conclusions and Future Work • DG methods hold promise for advancing state-of-the-art for difficult problems such as Hypersonics • Recent advances in: • Viscous discretizations • Flux functions (BGK) • ALE formulations • Solver technology (h-p multigrid) • Shock capturing • Extend into 3D DG parallel code • Diffusion terms • Shock capturing • h-p adaptivity (adjoint based) • Real gas effects • 5 species, 2 temperature model for DG code
Remaining Difficulties • DG Methods need to be robust • Often requires accuracy reduction (limiting) • Shock capturing with artificial viscosity becomes very non-linear/difficult to converge for high p and high Mach • Limiting is very robust initially, but convergence to machine zero stalls • Other limiter formulations are possible • Adjoint h-p refinement is promising but will likely require use with limiter for necessary robustness • Linearization of limiter/filter
