High-Order Dynamic Integration Method (HODIM) for Modeling Turbulent Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

This research explores the development and application of the High-Order Dynamic Integration Method for solving integro-differential equations, with a specific focus on turbulent fluid dynamics. Traditional numerical methods, such as the Finite Difference Method and the Finite Volume Method, have been widely employed in fluid dynamics but struggle to accurately capture the complexities of turbulence, particularly in high Reynolds number regimes. These methods often require significant computational resources and are prone to errors in nonlinear dynamic systems. The High-Order Dynamic Integration Method addresses these challenges by integrating higher-order interpolation techniques with dynamic adaptation strategies, significantly enhancing accuracy and computational efficiency. Through rigorous numerical analysis, this method demonstrates superior performance over the Finite Difference Method and the Finite Volume Method in handling the nonlinear behaviors characteristic of turbulent flows. Furthermore, the High-Order Dynamic Integration Method achieves this without a substantial increase in computational cost, making it a highly efficient tool for simulations in computational fluid dynamics. The research validates the capabilities of the High-Order Dynamic Integration Method through a series of benchmark tests and case studies. Results indicate a marked improvement in both accuracy and stability, particularly in simulations of high-Reynolds-number flows, where traditional methods often falter. This innovative approach offers a robust and efficient alternative for solving complex fluid dynamics problems, contributing to advances in the field of numerical methods and computational fluid dynamics.

Bayesian neural network correction of RANS turbulence models with uncertainty quantification in separated flows

Data-driven correction of turbulence models offers a promising route for improving Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) predictions, but quantifying uncertainty in such corrections and ensuring generalization across flows remain key challenges. This work presents a Bayesian neural network (BNN) framework for uncertainty-aware correction of RANS models. The BNN represents both epistemic and input-dependent aleatoric uncertainty, interpreted here as irreducible scatter in the feature-to-correction relationship, with the latter propagated as spatially correlated fields through the RANS solver. The framework is trained exclusively on a periodic-hill configuration and evaluated without retraining on five unseen separated-flow configurations. The learned corrections improve the training-flow prediction, but the strong momentum-field benefit obtained from the anisotropy correction does not transfer consistently to the unseen flows. Out-of-distribution under-coverage is already present at the correction-field level, indicating that the loss of calibration is already present in transfer of the learned correction rather than being introduced primarily by CFD propagation. Overall, the framework enables joint propagation of epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty while exposing the present limitations of uncertainty calibration under distribution shift.

Direct numerical simulation of particle-laden flow in a linear compressor cascade: Unsteady boundary-layer effects on particle-blade interactions

We perform point-particle direct numerical simulations (PP-DNS) of particle-laden flow through a linear compressor cascade subjected to synthetic free-stream turbulence. Monodisperse particles are advanced in a one-way coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian framework with drag-only dynamics. We use PP-DNS collision statistics together with empirical deposition and erosion models to estimate particle deposition and blade erosion. Collision hotspots and regions of predicted deposition are identified near the leading edge and over the pressure side. On the pressure side, for the intermediate Stokes number, the onset of frequent collisions and predicted deposition is spatially associated with elevated boundary-layer intermittency during bypass transition. Nevertheless, for the largest particles, impacts occur farther upstream. On the suction side, sparse collisions and predicted deposition events appear only for the smallest particles and are phase-modulated by separation-induced vortex shedding. Joint distributions of impact velocity and angle show that leading-edge impacts are faster and span wider angles than pressure-side impacts. For the two larger particle sizes, the higher normal impact velocities near the leading edge result in a greater likelihood of rebound than on the pressure side. Therefore, appreciable erosion is predicted primarily near the leading edge under the present conditions. The present results highlight the role of unsteady boundary-layer dynamics in affecting particle-blade interactions in compressor cascades.

Diffusion Enhancement and Directional Suppression Induced by Reciprocal Flows

Reciprocal flows repeatedly return fluid elements to their initial positions, producing no net advective transport on time average. Nevertheless, their interplay with diffusion gives rise to nontrivial transport. To describe this phenomenon, we develop a general theory of effective diffusion under two-dimensional linear flows with arbitrary time dependence. By analyzing the advection-diffusion equation, we derive exact expressions for the mean square displacement and the effective diffusion coefficients for extensional, simple shear, and rotational flows within a single framework. We show that the reciprocal flows universally induce diffusion enhancement. The diffusion tensor exhibits pronounced anisotropy, which can result in directional diffusion suppression in spite of the direction-averaged diffusion enhancement. Our results provide a general framework for diffusion control by time-dependent flows and can provide new strategies for transport manipulation in microfluidic and biological systems.
