Test 24: Navier-Stokes with penalty for non axisymetric domain

Introduction

In this example, we check the correctness behavior of SFEMaNS for a hydrodynamic problem with a solid obstacle involving Dirichlet boundary conditions.

We solve the Navier-Stokes equations:

\begin{align*} \partial_t\bu+\left(\ROT\bu\right)\CROSS\bu - \frac{1}{\Re}\LAP \bu +\GRAD p &=\bef \text{ in } \Omega_1, \\ \bu & = 0 \text{ in } \Omega_2, \\ \DIV \bu &= 0, \\ \bu_{|\Gamma} &= \bu_{\text{bdy}} , \\ \bu_{|t=0} &= \bu_0, \\ p_{|t=0} &= p_0, \end{align*}

in the domain \(\Omega= \Omega_1 \cup \Omega_2\) with \( \Omega_1=\{ (r,\theta,z) \in {R}^3 : (r,\theta,z) \in [0.1,1/2] \times [0,2\pi) \times [0,1]\}\) and \(\Omega_2=\{ (r,\theta,z) \in {R}^3 : (r,\theta,z) \in [1/2,1] \times [0,2\pi) \times [0,1]\} \). We also define \(\Gamma= \partial \Omega \). We note that the condition \(\bu=0\) in \(\Omega_2\) is imposed via a penalty method that involves a penalty function \(\chi\) equal to 1 in \(\Omega_1\) and zero elsewhere. The data are the source term \(\bef\), the penalty function \(\chi\), the boundary data \(\bu_{\text{bdy}}\), the initial datas \(\bu_0\) and \(p_0\). The parameter \(\Re\) is the kinetic Reynolds number.

Manufactured solutions

We approximate the following analytical solutions:

\begin{align*} u_r(r,\theta,z,t) &= (2r-1)^2 \sin(r+t) \mathbb{1}_{r\geq0.5}, \\ u_{\theta}(r,\theta,z,t) &= 0, \\ u_z(r,\theta,z,t) &= \left( (2-1/r) (6r-1) \cos(r+t) + (r-0.5) \sin(2\theta) \right) \mathbb{1}_{r\geq0.5}, \\ p(r,\theta,z,t) &= r^2 z^3\cos(t) + r \cos(\theta) , \end{align*}

with \( \mathbb{1}_{r\geq0.5} \) the function equals to \(r\geq0.5\) if \( \) and \(0\) elsewhere. The source term \(\bef\) and the boundary data \( \bu_{\text{bdy}}\) are computed accordingly.

Generation of the mesh

The finite element mesh used for this test is named cylinder_0.05.FEM and has a mesh size of \(0.05\) for the P1 approximation. You can generate this mesh with the files in the following directory: ($SFEMaNS_MESH_GEN_DIR)/EXAMPLES/EXAMPLES_MANUFACTURED_SOLUTIONS/cylinder_0.05. The following image shows the mesh for P1 finite elements.

Information on the file condlim.f90

The initial conditions, boundary conditions, the forcing term and the penalty function are set in the file condlim_test_24.f90. Here is a description of the subroutines and functions of interest.

  1. The subroutine init_velocity_pressure initializes the velocity field and the pressure at the time \(-dt\) and \(0\) with \(dt\) being the time step. It is done by using the functions vv_exact and pp_exact as follows:
    time = 0.d0
    DO i= 1, SIZE(list_mode)
    mode = list_mode(i)
    DO j = 1, 6
    !===velocity
    un_m1(:,j,i) = vv_exact(j,mesh_f%rr,mode,time-dt)
    un (:,j,i) = vv_exact(j,mesh_f%rr,mode,time)
    END DO
    DO j = 1, 2
    !===pressure
    pn_m2(:) = pp_exact(j,mesh_c%rr,mode,time-2*dt)
    pn_m1 (:,j,i) = pp_exact(j,mesh_c%rr,mode,time-dt)
    pn (:,j,i) = pp_exact(j,mesh_c%rr,mode,time)
    phin_m1(:,j,i) = pn_m1(:,j,i) - pn_m2(:)
    phin (:,j,i) = Pn (:,j,i) - pn_m1(:,j,i)
    ENDDO
    ENDDO
  2. The function vv_exact contains the analytical velocity field. It is used to initialize the velocity field and to impose Dirichlet boundary conditions on the velocity field.
    1. First we define the radial and vertical coordinates r, z.
      r = rr(1,:)
      z = rr(2,:)
    2. We define the velocity field depending of the Fourier mode and its TYPE (1 and 2 for the component radial cosine and sine, 3 and 4 for the component azimuthal cosine and sine, 5 and 6 for the component vertical cosine and sine) as follows:
      IF (TYPE==1.AND.m==0) THEN
      DO n = 1, SIZE(rr,2)
      IF (rr(1,n)>0.5d0) THEN
      vv(n) = (2*rr(1,n)-1)**2*SIN(rr(2,n)+t)
      ELSE
      vv(n) = 0.d0
      END IF
      END DO
      ELSE IF (TYPE==5.AND.m==0) THEN
      DO n = 1, SIZE(rr,2)
      IF (rr(1,n)>0.5d0) THEN
      vv(n) = (2-1.d0/rr(1,n))*(6*rr(1,n)-1)*COS(rr(2,n)+t)
      ELSE
      vv(n) = 0.d0
      END IF
      END DO
      ELSE IF (TYPE==6.AND.m==2) THEN
      DO n = 1, SIZE(rr,2)
      IF (rr(1,n)>0.5d0) THEN
      vv(n) = rr(1,n)-0.5d0
      ELSE
      vv(n) = 0.d0
      END IF
      END DO
      ELSE
      vv = 0.d0
      END IF
      RETURN
      where \(t\) is the time.
  3. The function pp_exact contains the analytical pressure. It is used to initialize the pressure.
    1. First we define the radial and vertical coordinates r, z.
      r = rr(1,:)
      z = rr(2,:)
    2. We define the pressure depending of the Fourier mode and its TYPE (1 for cosine and 2 for sine) as follows:
      IF (TYPE==1.AND.m==0) THEN
      vv(:) = r**2*z**3*COS(t)
      ELSE IF (TYPE==1.AND.m==1) THEN
      vv(:) = r
      ELSE
      vv = 0.d0
      END IF
      RETURN
      where \(t\) is the time.
  4. The function source_in_NS_momentum computes the source term \(\bef\) of the Navier-Stokes equations.
  5. The function penal_in_real_space define the penalty function \(\chi\) in the real space (depending of the node in the meridian plan and its angle n). It is done as follows:
    DO n = nb, ne
    n_loc = n - nb + 1
    IF (rr_gauss(1,n_loc).LE.0.5d0) THEN
    vv(:,n_loc) = 0.d0
    ELSE
    vv(:,n_loc) = 1.d0
    END IF
    END DO
    RETURN
    As defined earlier, this function is equal to one when the cylindrical coordinate r is smaller than 0.5 and else is equal to 1.
  6. The function imposed_velocity_by_penalty defines the velocity in the solid domain \(\Omega_2\). It is set to zero as follows:
    vv=0.d0
    RETURN

All the other subroutines present in the file condlim_test_24.f90 are not used in this test. We refer to the section Fortran file condlim.f90 for a description of all the subroutines of the condlim file.

Setting in the data file

We describe the data file of this test. It is called debug_data_test_24 and can be found in the directory ($SFEMaNS_DIR)/MHD_DATA_TEST_CONV_PETSC.

    ===Is mesh file formatted (true/false)?
    .t.
  2. The path and the name of the mesh are specified with the two following lines:
    ===Directory and name of mesh file
    '.' 'cylinder_0.05.FEM'
    where '.' refers to the directory where the data file is, meaning ($SFEMaNS_DIR)/MHD_DATA_TEST_CONV_PETSC.

    These informations are written in the file lis when you run the shell debug_SFEMaNS_template.

Outputs and value of reference

The outputs of this test are computed with the file post_processing_debug.f90 that can be found in the following directory: ($SFEMaNS_DIR)/MHD_DATA_TEST_CONV_PETSC.

To check the well behavior of the code, we compute four quantities:

  1. The L2 norm of the error on the velocity field.
  2. The H1 norm of the error on the velocity field.
  3. The L2 norm of the divergence of the velocity field.
  4. The L2 norm of the error on the pressure outside the obstacle.

These quantities are computed at the final time \(t=0.05\). They are compared to reference values to attest of the correctness of the code.

These values of reference are in the last lines of the file debug_data_test_24 in the directory ($SFEMaNS_DIR)/MHD_DATA_TEST_CONV_PETSC. They are equal to:

============================================
(cylinder_0.05.FEM)
===Reference results
5.35272511967831415E-003 L2 error on velocity
0.41315380860605949 H1 error on velocity
0.19511906134562279 L2 norm of divergence
5.07028095271459204E-003 L2 error on pressure outter obstacle

To conclude this test, we show the profile of the approximated pressure and velocity magnitude at the final time. These figures are done in the plane \(y=0\) which is the union of the half plane \(\theta=0\) and \(\theta=\pi\).
