October 15, 2012, 13:05	Analytic solution for 2D steady Euler equations	#1
jojo81 New Member Join Date: Oct 2012 Posts: 1 Rep Power: 0	Hello, I'm trying to verifiy my CFD code for low Mach number flows with some analytical or manufactured solutions. The convection and/or diffusion equation for a scalar is fine and now I focus on the Navier Stokes equations: $\nabla \cdot \underline{u} = 0$ $\frac{\partial \underline{u}}{\partial t} + \left( \underline{u} \cdot \nabla \right) \underline{u} - \nu \Delta \underline{u} = - \frac{1}{\rho_0} \nabla p$ First, I want to check the non linear convection term, so I suppress the viscosity considering a perfect fluid and starting from the Green Taylor vorticies solution for Navier Stokes: $u(x,y,t) = - \cos (2 \pi x) \sin (2 \pi y) e^{-8 \pi^2 \nu t}$ $v(x,y,t) = + \sin (2 \pi x) \cos (2 \pi y) e^{-8 \pi^2 \nu t}$ $p(x,y,t) = -\frac{1}{4}\left[\cos(4 \pi x) + \cos (4 \pi y)\right] e^{- 16 \pi^2 \nu t}$ I get this solution: $u(x,y,t) = - \cos (2 \pi x) \sin (2 \pi y)$ $v(x,y,t) = + \sin (2 \pi x) \cos (2 \pi y)$ $p(x,y,t) = -\frac{1}{4}\left[\cos(4 \pi x) + \cos (4 \pi y)\right]$ which satisfies the steady Euler equations: $\nabla \cdot \underline{u} = 0$ $\left( \underline{u} \cdot \nabla \right) \underline{u} = - \frac{1}{\rho_0} \nabla p$ I tried this solution with my CFD code setting boundary and initial conditions with the solution, the pressure is also imposed, not computed, with the solution. At each iteration, I solve the velocity components and then update the convective flux, solve velocity, update the convective flux, etc. I use finite volume, upwind or centered convective scheme. My problem: after some oscillations, the flow diverges and I don't understand why. Is the solution unstable ? Can't a solver for Navier Stokes solve an Euler problem ? Did or is anybody try this kind of problem ? Thanks.
