Unsteady 3D Boundary Element Method for Oscillating Wing
Marco La Mantia¹, Peter Dabnichki^1,2
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.33, No.2, pp. 131-154, 2008, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2008.033.131
Abstract A potential flow based boundary element method was devised to obtain the hydrodynamic forces acting on oscillating wings. A new formulation of the unsteady Kutta condition, postulating a finite pressure difference at the trailing edge of the flapping wing and proposed earlier by the authors, is implemented in the numerical procedure. A comparison with published experimental data (Read et al., 2003) is carried out and the three-dimensional computational results showed good agreement, especially if compared with a similar two-dimensional numerical approach (La Mantia and Dabnichki, 2008) and the potential analytical model of Garrick (1936).

Multi-material Eulerian Formulations and Hydrocode for the Simulation of Explosions
Ma Tianbao¹, Wang Cheng, Ning Jianguo
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.33, No.2, pp. 155-178, 2008, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2008.033.155
Abstract A multi-material Eulerian hydrodynamic numerical method and hydrocode that can effectively simulate explosion problems in engineering practice were developed in this study. A modified Youngs' interface reconstruction algorithm was proposed for mixed cells, in which the material's volume fractions of the surrounding cells are not only used to reconstruct the material interface but also adopted to determine the transport order of the material. The algorithm developed herein was validated by the modeling of several tests, such as objects with different shapes moving in translational, rotating and shear flow field in two dimensional Descartes coordinates and More >

A Fictitious Time Integration Method for Two-Dimensional Quasilinear Elliptic Boundary Value Problems
Chein-Shan Liu¹
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.33, No.2, pp. 179-198, 2008, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2008.033.179
Abstract Dirichlet boundary value problem of quasilinear elliptic equation is numerically solved by using a new concept of fictitious time integration method (FTIM). We introduce a fictitious time coordinate t by transforming the dependent variable u(x,y) into a new one by (1+t)u(x,y) =: v(x,y,t), such that the original equation is naturally and mathematically equivalently written as a quasilinear parabolic equation, including a viscous damping coefficient to enhance stability in the numerical integration of spatially semi-discretized equation as an ordinary differential equations set on grid points. Six examples of Laplace, Poisson, reaction diffusion, Helmholtz, the minimal surface, as well More >

A Faster Method of Moments Solution to Double Layer Formulation of Acoustic Scattering
B. Chrasekhar¹, Sadasiva. M. Rao²
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.33, No.2, pp. 199-214, 2008, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2008.033.199
Abstract In this work, the acoustic scattering problem based on double layer formulation is solved with a novel numerical technique using method of moment's solution. A new set of basis functions, namely, Edge based Adaptive Basis Functions (EABF) are defined in the method of moment's solution procedure. The geometry of the body is divided into triangular patches and basis functions are defined on the edges. Since the double layer formulation involves the evaluation of the hyper-singular integral, the edge based adaptive basis functions are used to make the solution faster. The matrix equations are derived for More >
