55th NIA CFD Seminar
Topic: Entropy stable wall boundary conditions for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations
Date: Tuesday, December 02, 2014
Time: 11:00am-noon (EST)
Room: NIA, Rm137
Speaker: Matteo Parsani
Speaker Bio: Dr. Matteo Parsani is currently a Post-doctoral Fellow at NASA Langley Research Center, working with Dr. Mark H. Carpenter. Prior to this he was a Post-doctoral Researcher at KAUST, working in the group of Professor David Ketcheson. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Free University of Brussels in December 2010. His research interests include high-order accurate methods for large-eddy simulation and aeroacoustics, efficient explicit and implicit time integrators and acceleration techniques for compressible flows. In 2011 his PhD thesis was selected among the best National Ph.D. theses to be presented at the ECCOMAS Olympiad workshop in Athens.
Abstract: Non-linear entropy stability and a summation-by-parts framework are used to derive entropy stable wall boundary conditions for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations. A semi-discrete entropy estimate for the entire domain is achieved when the new boundary conditions are coupled with an entropy stable discrete interior operator. The data at the boundary are weakly imposed using a penalty flux approach and a simultaneous-approximation-term penalty technique. Although discontinuous spectral collocation operators are used herein for the purpose of demonstrating their robustness and efficacy, the new boundary conditions are compatible with any diagonal norm summation-by-parts spatial operator, including finite element, finite volume, finite difference, discontinuous Galerkin, and flux reconstruction schemes. The proposed boundary treatment is tested for three-dimensional subsonic and supersonic flows. The numerical computations corroborate the non-linear stability (entropy stability) and accuracy of the boundary conditions.
