TLDR
The purpose of this paper is to highlight some recent enhancements that have been made to the Navier-Stokes code OVERFLOW, in three major areas: a multigrid method, for convergence acceleration; a lowMach preconditioning algorithm, for converge acceleration and solution quality improvement for low Mach number flows; and a matrix dissipation algorithm for solution quality improved.Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to highlight some recent enhancements that have been made to the Navier-Stokes code OVERFLOW. The enhancements we are concerned with are in three major areas: a multigrid method, for convergence acceleration; a lowMach preconditioning algorithm, for convergence acceleration and solution quality improvement for low Mach number flows; and a matrix dissipation algorithm for solution quality improvement. We will describe these methods and show examples of their efficacy.read more

TL;DR: In this article, a physics-based software tool for modeling the noise characteristics of maneuvering rotorcraft is presented, which can accurately predict the rotorcraft flight state and rotor trim, the unsteady aerodynamic loading, the time-dependent flow field around the rotor blades, and the radiated noise, in all flight conditions including maneuver.

Application of OVERFLOW to Hypersonic Perfect Gas Flowfields
Michael E. Olsen,D. K. Prabhu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a validation of the matrix dissipation option in OVERFLOW was completed, and a single set of constants was found which yield good inviscid shock capturing, viscous heat and skin friction predictions, and work over a wide Mach and Reynolds number range.

Automated Off-Body Cartesian Mesh Adaption for Rotorcraft Simulations
TL;DR: A new adaptive mesh refinement strategy is presented that couples feature-detection with local error-estimation, and applies a Richardson extrapolation-like procedure to detect local truncation error based on solutions from different grid levels.

An investigation of a high temperature difference natural convection in a finite length channel without Bossinesq assumption
TL;DR: In this paper, the Roe scheme matching methods of preconditioning and dual-time stepping are used to solve the governing equations of a natural convection in a channel under a high temperature difference.

An adaptive discretization of incompressible flow using a multitude of moving Cartesian grids
TL;DR: It is observed that a robust second order accurate symmetric positive definite readily preconditioned discretization can be obtained by constructing a local Voronoi region on the fly for each degree of freedom in question in order to obtain both its stencil (logically connected neighbors) and stencil weights.

An Introduction to Multigrid Methods
TL;DR: These notes were written for an introductory course on the application of multigrid methods to elliptic and hyperbolic partial differential equations for engineers, physicists and applied mathematicians, restricting ourselves to finite volume and finite difference discretization.

A diagonal form of an implicit approximate-factorization algorithm
Thomas H. Pulliam,D.S Chaussee +1 more
TL;DR: The modification transforms the coupled system of equations into an uncoupled diagonal form that requires less computational work and has an important effect on the application of implicit finite-difference schemes to vector processors.

Preconditioned methods for solving the incompressible low speed compressible equations
TL;DR: It is sown that the resultant incompressible equations form a symmetric hyperbolic system and so are well posed, and several generalizations to the compressible equations are presented which extend previous results.

A 3-D Chimera Grid Embedding Technique
TL;DR: A three-dimensional (3-D) chimera grid-embedding technique that simplifies the construction of computational grids about complex geometries by solution of the Euler equations for the transonic flow about a wing/body, wing/ body/tail, and a configuration of three ellipsoidal bodies is described.
