In this study, a novel Mach-uniform preconditioning method is developed for the solution of Euler equations at low subsonic and incompressible flow conditions. In contrast to the methods developed earlier in which the conservation of mass equation is preconditioned, in the present method, the conservation of energy equation is preconditioned, which enforces the divergence free constraint on the velocity field even at the limiting case of incompressible, zero Mach number flows. Despite most preconditioners, the proposed Mach-uniform preconditioning method does not have a singularity point at zero Mach number. The preconditioned system of equations preserves the strong conservation form of Euler equations for compressible flows and recovers the artificial compressibility equations in the case of zero Mach number. A two-dimensional Euler solver is developed for validation and performance evaluation of the present formulation for a wide range of Mach number flows. The validation cases studied show the convergence acceleration, stability, and accuracy of the present Mach-uniform preconditioner in comparison to the non-preconditioned compressible flow solutions. The convergence acceleration obtained with the present formulation is similar to those of the well-known preconditioned system of equations for low subsonic flows and to those of the artificial compressibility method for incompressible flows.

A 3-D Mach uniform preconditioner for incompressible and subsonic flows Bas, Onur; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2014-01-01) In recent years, beyond various different approaches, preconditioning methods gained increasing popularity for all speed flow solver development studies. The resulting formulation of these methods is very similar to the well-known compressible governing equations which allow the usage of widely used numerical methods and algorithms. On the contrary to pressure based methods, preconditioning methods are also very successful on high speed flows with their conservative form equation set. In preconditioning met...
Development of an all speed navier-stokes preconditioner for two and three dimensional flows on hybrid grids Baş, Onur; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015) In this study, a novel Mach uniform preconditioning method is developed for the solution of Euler/Navier-Stokes equations at subsonic and incompressible flow conditions. In contrast to the methods developed earlier in which the conservation of mass equation is preconditioned, the conservation of energy equation is preconditioned in the present method to enforce the divergence free constraint on the velocity field even at the limiting case of incompressible, zero Mach number flows. The proposed Mach-uniform ...
A discontinuous Galerkin method for optimal control problems governed by a system of convection-diffusion PDEs with nonlinear reaction terms Yücel, Hamdullah; BENNER, Peter (2015-11-01) In this paper, we study the numerical solution of optimal control problems governed by a system of convection-diffusion PDEs with nonlinear reaction terms, arising from chemical processes. The symmetric interior penalty Galerkin (SIPG) method with upwinding for the convection term is used as a discretization method. We use a residual-based error estimator for the state and the adjoint variables. An adaptive mesh refinement indicated by a posteriori error estimates is applied. The arising saddle point system...
A non-iterative pressure based scheme for the computation of reacting radiating flows Uygur, A. Bilge; Selçuk, Nevin; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2008-03-01) A non-iterative pressure based algorithm which consists of splitting the solution of momentum energy and species equations into a sequence of predictor-corrector stages was developed for the simulation of transient reacting radiating flows. A semi-discrete approach called the Method of Lines (MOL) which enables implicit time-integration at all splitting stages was used for the solution of conservation equations. The solution of elliptic pressure equation for the determination of the pressure field was perfo...
A two dimensional euler flow solver on adaptive cartesian grids Siyahhan, Bercan; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) In the thesis work, a code to solve the two dimensional compressible Euler equations for external flows around arbitrary geometries have been developed. A Cartesianmesh generator is incorporated to the solver. Hence the pre-processing can be performed together with the solution within a single code. The code is written in the C++ programming language and its object oriented capabilities have been exploited to save memory in the data structure developed. The Cartesian mesh is formed by dividing squares succe...
