An efficient eigenvalue bounding method: CFL condition revisited

F. Xavier Trias, Xavier Álvarez-Farré, Àdel Alsalti-Baldellou +2

Direct and large-eddy simulations of turbulence are often solved using explicit temporal schemes. However, this imposes very small time-steps because the eigenvalues of the (linear…

A rational length scale for large-eddy simulation of turbulence on anisotropic grids

F. Xavier Trias, Jesús Ruano, Alexey Duben +1

Due to the prohibitive cost of resolving all relevant scales, direct numerical simulations of turbulence remain unfeasible for most real-world applications. Consequently, dynamical…

On the Reynolds-number scaling of Poisson solver complexity

F. Xavier Trias, Àdel Alsalti-Baldellou, Assensi Oliva

We aim to answer the following question: is the complexity of numerically solving the Poisson equation increasing or decreasing for very large simulations of incompressible flows?…

Energy-consistent discretization of viscous dissipation with application to natural convection flow

Benjamin Sanderse, Francesc Xavier Trias

A new energy-consistent discretization of the viscous dissipation function in incompressible flows is proposed. It is implied by choosing a discretization of the diffusive terms an…

A general method to compute numerical dispersion errors and its application to stretched meshes

J. Ruano, A. Baez Vidal, F. X. Trias +1

This article presents a new spectral analysis approach for dispersion error and a methodology to numerically evaluate it. In practice, this new analysis allows the numerical study…

A new subgrid characteristic length for turbulence simulations on anisotropic grids

F. X. Trias, A. Gorobets, M. H. Silvis +2

Direct numerical simulations of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are not feasible yet for most practical turbulent flows. Therefore, dynamically less complex mathematical…
