  • Chapter 6 Riemann Solvers I
    Chapter 6 Riemann solvers I The numerical hydrodynamics algorithms we have devised in Chapter 5 were based on the idea of operator splitting between the advection and pressure force terms. The advection was done, for all conserved quantities, using the gas velocity, while the pressure force and work terms were treated as source terms. From Chapter 2 we know, however, thatthecharacteristicsoftheEuler equations are not necessarily all equal to the gas velocity. We have seen that there exist an eigen- vector which indeed has the gas velocity as eigenvectors, λ0 = u,buttherearetwoeigenvectors which have eigenvalues λ = u C which belong to the forward and backward sound propa- ± ± s gation. Mathematically speaking one should do the advectioninthesethreeeigenvectors,using their eigenvalues as advection velocity. The methods in Chapter 5 do not do this. By extracting the pressure terms out of the advection part and adding them asasourceterm,theadvectionpart has been reduced essentially to Burger’s equation,andthepropagationofsoundwavesisentirely driven by the addition of the source terms. Such methods therefore do not formally propagate the sound waves using advection, even though mathematically they should be. All the effort we have done in Chapters 3 and 4 to create the best advection schemes possible will therefore have no effect on the propagation of sound waves. Once could say that for two out of three characteristics our ingeneous advection scheme is useless. Riemann solvers on the other hand keep the pressure terms within the to-be-advected sys- tem. There is no pressure source term in these equations. The mathematical character of the equations remains intact. Such solvers therefore propagateallthecharacteristicsonequalfoot- ing.

  • Chapter 5 the Riemann Problem for Systems
    Chapter 5 The Riemann Problem for Systems Diese Untersuchung macht nicht darauf Anspruch, der experimentellen Forschung nutzliche¨ Ergebnisse zu liefern; der Verfasser wunscht¨ sie nur als einen Beitrag zur Theorie der nicht linearen partiellen Differentialgleichungen betrachtet zu sehen.1 G. F. B. Riemann [153] We return to the conservation law (1.2), but now study the case of systems, i.e., ut + f(u)x =0, (5.1) where u = u(x, t)=(u ,...,u ) and f = f(u)=(f ,...,f ) C2 are vec- 1 n 1 n 2 tors in Rn. (We will not distinguish between row and column vectors, and use whatever is more convenient.) Furthermore, in this chapter we will consider only systems on the line; i.e., the dimension of the underlying physical space is still one. In Chapter 2 we proved existence, uniqueness, and stability of the Cauchy problem for the scalar conservation law in one space dimension, i.e., well-posedness in the sense of Hadamard. However, this is a more subtle question in the case of systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. We will here first discuss the basic concepts for systems: fundamental properties of shock waves and rarefaction waves. In particular, we will discuss various entropy conditions to select the right solutions of the Rankine–Hugoniot relations. Using these results we will eventually be able to prove well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for systems of hyperbolic conservation laws with small variation in the initial data. 1 The present work does not claim to lead to results in experimental research; the author asks only that it be considered as a contribution to the theory of nonlinear partial di↵erential equations.

Dimotakisif Graduate Aeronautical Laboratories Ca.li£ornia Institute of Technology Pasadena, Ca. 91 f 25 Abstract A new approach for studying wave propa.gation phenomena in an inviscid gas is presented. This approacll can be viewed as the extension of the method of charac- teristics to the general case of unsteady multidiinensional flow. The general case of the unsteaclji coillpressible Euler equations in several space dimensions is examined. A fanlily of spacetinle illanifolds is found on wllich an equivalent one-dimensional problem holds. Their geometry clepends on the spatial gradients of the flow, and they provicie, locally, a convenient system of coordinate surfaces for spacetime. In the case of zero entropy gradients, f~~nctionsanalogous to the Riemann invariants of 1-D gas dynamics can be introduced. These generalized Riemann Invariants are constant on these ma.nifolds and, thus, the manifolds are dubbed Riemann Invari- ant Manifolds (RIM). I11 this special case of zero entropy gradients, the equations of motion are integrable on these manifolds, and the problem of computing the solution becomes that of deterinining the inanifold geometry in spacetime. This situation is colnpletely analogous to the traditional method of characteristics in one-dimensional flow.

The flowfield is described by a Defect formulation, where sepa- rate Euler and Navier-Stokes algorithms are used on overlapping grids and are coupled through wall transpiration fluxes. The work is separated into three major contributions. The first contribution is a new algorithm for the solution of the 2-D unsteady Euler equations. The algorithm incorporates flux-splitting to capture shocks crisply and with minimal oscillations. To reduce numerical errors, grid independent second order accu- racy is achieved for both steady and unsteady flows.

Prelude to Topology The subject known as topology took shape in the 19th century, made dramatic progress during the 20th century, and is flourishing in the 21st.

K¨onigsberg in the 18th century Euler Perhaps the first topological statement in the mathematical literature came with Euler's solution to the problem of the Seven Bridges of K¨onigsberg: the prob- lem of taking a walk which traverses each of the seven bridges exactly once.

Centre-ville, Montr´eal, (QC) H3C 3J7, Canada; [email protected] Abstract In this paper we employ a “direct method” to construct rank-k solutions, expressible in Riemann invariants, to hyperbolic system of first order quasilinear differential equations in many dimensions. The most important feature of our approach is the analysis of group invariance properties of these solutions and applying the conditional symmetry reduction technique to the initial equations. We discuss in detail the necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of these type of solutions. We demonstrate our approach through several examples of hydrodynamic type systems; new classes of solutions are obtained in a closed form.

La caract´eristique la plus importante de cette approche est l’analyse des propri´et´es d’invariance de ces solutions et l’application de la m´ethode de r´eduction par sym´etries conditionnelles aux ´equations initiales.

  • The Hydrodynamical Riemann Problem
    Chapter 5: The Hydrodynamical Riemann Problem 5.1) Introduction 5.1.1) General Introduction to the Riemann Problem We have seen in Chapter 4 that even Burgers equation, the simplest non-linear scalar conservation law, can give rise to complex flow features such as shocks and rarefactions. Linear schemes were seen to be inadequate for treating such problems. In Chapter 3 we realized that a simple non-linear hybridization introduced by TVD limiters could yield a monotonicity preserving reconstruction. In Sub-section 4.5.2 we even designed an approximate Riemann solver for evaluating consistent and properly upwinded numerical fluxes at zone boundaries based on the HLL flux for scalar conservation laws. Such a strategy for obtaining a physically sound flux can indeed be extended to systems to yield a basic second order accurate scheme. Since better fluxes translate into better schemes, in this Chapter we invest a little time to understand strategies for obtaining a good, high-quality, physically consistent flux at the zone boundaries for use in numerical schemes. In this chapter we restrict attention to the Euler equations. However, the next Chapter will show that the insights gained here are of great importance in designing good strategies for obtaining the numerical flux at zone boundaries in numerical schemes for several hyperbolic conservation laws of interest in several areas of science and engineering. In this and the next paragraph we motivate the need for studying the hydrodynamical Riemann problem. Assume that we are solving a problem on a one- dimensional mesh with fluid variables defined at the zone centers.
