How to address the element face adjacent to boundaries when the finite difference method and marker-and-cell scheme are used to solve the Stokes flow?

The Stokes equations are $$-\Delta \mathbf u + \nabla p = f \text{, in }\Omega,$$ and $$ -\nabla \cdot \mathbf u = g, \text{ in } \Omega$$ where $\mathbf u = \left( u, v \right)$ is the flow ...

Good non oscilliatory derivatives for an exsisting grid

I'm calculating the entropy production of a shockwave by utilizing the equations: \begin{equation} \sigma = J'_q\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left(\frac{1}{T}\right) +\frac{1}{T}\frac{4\eta}{3}\left(\...

Fix for FD WENO method for multi-component compressible flows

I'm solving two-dimensional four-component compressible Navier-Stokes equations with finite-difference WENO approach. The equations are pretty standard: $$ \frac{\partial U}{\partial t} + \frac{\...

Haw to apply central difference to viscous flux in energy equation?

In many modern papers Navier-Stokes equations are solved with finite-difference or finite-volume methods using WENO reconstruction for non-viscous fluxes and central differences for viscous ones. It ...

Simplest way to "upgrade" from Euler equations to Navier-Stokes equations in FV or FD framework

I have quite a lot of experience solving unsteady Euler equations, including multi-component ones, with in house-coded finite-difference and finite-volume methods, including MacCormack and MUSCLE ...

FDM on nonlinear PDEs

I'm working with a 2D Navier Stokes PDE in the unstabilized version - the equation is a linear equation of the type $\frac{∂u}{∂t} = F(u,t)$. In order to perform time discretization with FDM (finite ...

Pressure boundary conditions in Stokes Equation in 2D

I am solving the steady-state incompressible Stokes equations in 2D: \begin{equation} \frac{\partial u_x}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial u_y}{\partial y} = 0, \end{equation} \begin{equation} \mu\left[\...

Lattice Boltzmann methods vs Navier stokes/ other eulerian methods for *water* simulation

Note, there is already a question here, however the answers don't answer the original question, let alone specific considerations when dealing with nearly in-compressible fluids (water). Another ...

Double mach reflection at a inclined wedge

I am running into a strange problem when solving the 2D compressible Euler equations on a inclined wedge. To elaborate, my top boundary condition seems to emitting some type of instability. I have ...

Interpolation of velocities on staggered grid (in PIC)

Edit: (copying from my comment) Let's consider the inverse problem when I need to transfer velocities from particles to the grid (inverse bilinear interpolation). How'd I transfer a particle's x-...
