A continuum method for modeling surface tension

to be done in this area. Face recognition is a problem that scarcely clamoured for attention before the computer age but, having surfaced, has involved a wide range of techniques and has attracted the attention of some fine minds (David Mumford was a Fields Medallist in 1974). This singular application of mathematical modelling to a messy applied problem of obvious utility and importance but with no unique solution is a pretty one to share with students: perhaps, returning to the source of our opening quotation, we may invert Duncan's earlier observation, 'There is an art to find the mind's construction in the face!'.

Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov methods: a survey of approaches and applications

Explicit finite element and finite difference methods are used to solve a wide variety of transient problems in industry and academia. Unfortunately, explicit methods are rarely discussed in detail in finite element text books. This paper reviews the basic explicit finite element and finite difference methods that are currently used to solve transient, large deformation problems in solid mechanics. A special emphasis has been placed on documenting methods that have not been previously published in journals.

Computational methods in Lagrangian and Eulerian hydrocodes

This new edition takes account of the explosive growth in computer technology and the greatly increased capacity for solving complex reactive-flow problems. It presents algorithms for reactive flow simulations, describes some trade-offs involved in their use, and gives guidance for building and using models of complex reactive flows.

New Insights into Large Eddy Simulation

Fluid dynamic turbulence is one of the most challenging computational physics problems because of the extremely wide range of time and space scales involved, the strong nonlinearity of the governing equations, and the many practical and important applications. While most linear fluid instabilities are well understood, the nonlinear interactions among them makes even the relatively simple limit of homogeneous isotropic turbulence difficult to treat physically, mathematically, and computationally. Turbulence is modeled computationally by a two-stage bootstrap process. The first stage, direct numerical simulation, attempts to resolve the relevant physical time and space scales but its application is limited to diffusive flows with a relatively small Reynolds number (Re). Using direct numerical simulation to provide a database, in turn, allows calibration of phenomenological turbulence models for engineering applications. Large eddy simulation incorporates a form of turbulence modeling applicable when the large-scale flows of interest are intrinsically time dependent, thus throwing common statistical models into question. A promising approach to large eddy simulation involves the use of high-resolution monotone computational fluid dynamics algorithms such as flux-corrected transport or the piecewise parabolic method which have intrinsic subgrid turbulence models coupled naturally to the resolved scales in the computed flow. The physical considerations underlying and evidence supporting this monotone integrated large eddy simulation approach are discussed.

New insights into large eddy simulation

This book presents a series of topics ranging from microscopic combustion physics to several aspects of macroscopic reactive-flow modeling. As the reader progresses into the book, the successive chapters generally include a wider range of physical and chemical processes in the mathematical model. Including more processes, however, usually means that they will be represented phenomenologically at a cruder level. In practice the detailed microscopic models and simulations are often used to develop and calibrate the phenomenologies used in the macroscopic models. The book first describes computations of the most microscopic chemical processes, then considers laminar flames and detonation modeling, and ends with computations of complex, multiphase combustion systems.

A series of multidimensional numerical simulations were used to investigate how, through a series of shock-flame interactions, a turbulent flame may suddenly evolve into a detonation, the process o...
