Formalisme espace temps

Numerical fluid mechanics

  • start from the Navier stockes equations
  • When we make assumptions (no heat transfer, no viscosity, no gravity) then we obtain the Euler equations. This is a system of equations (conservation of mass, of momentum, and energy), that can be expressed as one equation, similar to an equation of conservation. He then takes this formalism with the space time formalism: this assumption makes the time derivative within the former equation of conservation to vanish !
  • Then, it is possible to obtain the conservation law, expressed with the tensor momentum-energy, exactly corresponding to the conservation of mass, linear momentum, and energy.
  • Example in finite difference.
    • Usually, modelisation where we resolve time step by time step the whole solution in time
    • In this framework, calculation of the solution at the same time !

  • finite volume method
    • Main idea: integration on control volumes, written in terms of fluxes with the Stockes theorem
    • Interests: conservative (equality of entrance and ou), easily usable with a non structure mech.
    • We have the finite volume in space, and the time integration is determine ad hoc (here it is the implicit Euler scheme = unconditionnaly stable)
    • Need for the choice of a flux: here it is the Rusanov’s flux, or there exists the HLL flux
    • Then, applies these ideas with the space time formalism: a space-time flux. ==Big results: able to create a space-time adaptative mesh: adaptation of the space + time mesh due to events/geometric particularities (implicit scheme so no problem)==

Remarques

  • respect the principle of causality when you have a non structured space-time mesh
  • conditions entropiques chocs
