Governing Equation of Fluid Flow

General Transport Equations
There are significant commonalities between the various equations.

Using a general variable 𝜙, the conservative form of all fluid flow


equations can usefully be written in the following form:

𝜕 𝜌𝜙
+ div 𝜌𝜙𝐮 = div Γ grad 𝜙 + 𝑆𝜙
𝜕𝑡

Or, in words:
Net rate of flow
Rate of increase Rate of increase Rate of increase
of 𝜙 out of
of 𝜙 of fluid + = of 𝜙 due to + of 𝜙 due to
fluid element
element diffusion sources
(convection)

Integral Form
The key step of the finite volume method is to integrate the differential
equation shown in the previous slide, and then to apply Gauss’ divergence
theorem, which for a vector a states:
න div 𝐚𝑑𝑉 = න 𝐧 ⋅ 𝐚𝑑𝐴
𝐶𝑉 𝐴
This then leads to the following general conservation equation in integral
form:
𝜕
න 𝜌𝜙𝑑𝑉 + න 𝐧 ⋅ 𝜌𝜙𝐮 𝑑𝐴 = න 𝐧 ⋅ Γ grad 𝜙 𝑑𝐴 + න 𝑆𝜙 𝑑𝑉
𝜕𝑡
𝐶𝑉 𝐴 𝐴 𝐶𝑉
Net rate of Net rate of
Rate of Net rate of
decrease of 𝜙 due increase of 𝜙 due
to convection =
increase + + creation
to diffusion

across boundaries across boundaries
This is the actual form of the conservation equations solved by finite
volume based CFD programs to calculate the flow pattern and associated

Integral Form
𝜕 𝜌𝜙
න 𝑑𝑉 + න div 𝜌𝜙𝐮 𝑑𝑉 = න div Γ grad 𝜙 𝑑𝑉 + න 𝑆𝜙 𝑑𝑉

The integrated form of the steady transport equation:

න 𝐧 ⋅ 𝜌𝜙𝐮 𝑑𝐴 = න 𝐧 ⋅ Γ grad 𝜙 𝑑𝐴 + න 𝑆𝜙 𝑑𝑉
𝐴 𝐴 𝐶𝑉
In time-dependent problems it is also necessary to integrate with
respect to time t over a small interval ∆t from, say, t until t + ∆t.
This yields the most general integrated form of the transport equation:
𝜕
න න 𝜌𝜙𝑑𝑉 𝑑𝑡 + න න 𝐧 ⋅ 𝜌𝜙𝐮 𝑑𝐴 𝑑𝑡

∆𝑡 𝐶𝑉 ∆𝑡 𝐴
= න න 𝐧 ⋅ Γ grad 𝜙 𝑑𝐴 𝑑𝑡 + න න 𝑆𝜙 𝑑𝑉 𝑑𝑡

The vibration amplitude remains

lack of damping in the system.
The shockwave discontinuities are L/c
manifestations of the hyperbolic x=0 x=L
nature of such flows
The disturbances at a point can only influence a limited region in space.
The speed of disturbance propagation through an hyperbolic problem is finite
and equal to the wave speed c.
In contrast, parabolic and elliptic models assume infinite propagation speeds.

Classification Method for Simple PDEs
Consider a general second-order PDE in two coordinates x and y.

𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑥𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑦
Assume that the equation is linear and a, b, c, d, e, f and g are constants

The classification of a PDE is governed by the behaviour of its highest


order derivatives, so we need only consider the second-order
derivatives.

Classification Method for Simple PDEs
Second-order PDEs in 𝑁 independent variables (x1, x2, . . . , xN) can be
classified by rewriting them first in the following form with Ajk = Akj :
𝑁 𝑁
𝜕2𝜙
෍ ෍ 𝐴𝑗𝑘 +𝐻 =0
𝜕𝑥𝑗 𝜕𝑥𝑘
𝑗=1 𝑘=1

this equation can be classified on the basis of the eigenvalues λ of a


matrix with entries 𝐴𝑗𝑘 .
det 𝐴𝑗𝑘 − 𝜆𝐼 = 0
The classification rules are:
▪ if any eigenvalue 𝜆 = 0: the equation is parabolic
▪ if all eigenvalues 𝜆 ≠ 0 and they are all of the same sign: the
equation is elliptic
▪ if all eigenvalues 𝜆 ≠ 0 and all but one are of the same sign: the
equation is hyperbolic

Solution Process
Analytical solution gives us 𝜙(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧, 𝑡).

Numerical solution gives us 𝜙 only at discrete grid points.

The process of converting the governing partial differential


equation into discrete algebraic equations is call discretization.

Discretization involves
 Discretization of space using mesh generation
 Discretization of governing equations to yield sets of
algebraic equations

Mesh Terminology

• Node-based finite volume scheme: 𝜙 stored at vertex


• Cell-based finite volume scheme: 𝜙 stored at cell centroid
