High-Reynolds-number turbulent cavity flow using the lattice Boltzmann method
2018
We present a boundary condition scheme for the lattice Boltzmann method that has significantly improved stability for modeling turbulent flows while maintaining excellent parallel scalability. Simulations of a three-dimensional lid-driven cavity flow are found to be stable up to the unprecedented Reynolds number $\mathrm{Re}=5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{4}$ for this setup. Excellent agreement with energy balance equations, computational and experimental results are shown. We quantify rises in the production of turbulence and turbulent drag, and determine peak locations of turbulent production.

Estimates of the Distance to Exact Solutions of the Stokes Problem with Slip and Leak Boundary Conditions
2019
We deduce a posteriori error estimates of functional type for the stationary Stokes problem with slip and leak boundary conditions. The derived error majorants do not contain mesh dependent constants and are valid for a wide class of energy admissible approximations that satisfy the Dirichlet boundary condition on a part of the boundary. Different forms of error majorants contain global constants associated with Poincaré type inequalities or the stability (LBB) condition for the Stokes problem or constants associated with subdomains (if a domain decomposition is applied). It is proved that the majorants are guaranteed and vanish if and only if the functions entering them coincide with the r…
Designing a graphics processing unit accelerated petaflop capable lattice Boltzmann solver: Read aligned data layouts and asynchronous communication
2016
The lattice Boltzmann method is a well-established numerical approach for complex fluid flow simulations. Recently, general-purpose graphics processing units (GPUs) have become available as high-performance computing resources at large scale. We report on designing and implementing a lattice Boltzmann solver for multi-GPU systems that achieves 1.79 PFLOPS performance on 16,384 GPUs. To achieve this performance, we introduce a GPU compatible version of the so-called bundle data layout and eliminate the halo sites in order to improve data access alignment. Furthermore, we make use of the possibility to overlap data transfer between the host central processing unit and the device GPU with com…
Virtauslaskenta traktorien tuotekehityksessä
2016
This work describes the deployment of the current fluid flow simulation software, Star-CCM+, at Valtra Inc. The text also gives a brief introduction to computational fluid dynamics and its role in the product development process for an engineer at the company. Two computational test cases are also described. A simpler case of the simulation of an engine air intake channel flow is shown first. The results show better agreement with the measured values than the outsourced simulation that was used as a reference. The second case is the so called underhood analysis which is a flow simulation of the whole Valtra N-series front end, including fan and heat exchangers. It is a steady state simulati…

Spin Pumping and Torque Statistics in the Quantum Noise Limit
2017
We analyze the statistics of charge and energy currents and spin torque in a metallic nanomagnet coupled to a large magnetic metal via a tunnel contact. We derive a Keldysh action for the tunnel barrier, describing the stochastic currents in the presence of a magnetization precessing with the rate Ω. In contrast to some earlier approaches, our result is valid for an arbitrary ratio of ℏΩ/kBT. We illustrate the use of the action by deriving spintronic fluctuation relations, the quantum limit of pumped current noise, and consider the fluctuations in two specific cases: the situation with a stable precession of magnetization driven by spin transfer torque, and the torque-induced switching betw…
Smoothed particle hydrodynamics virtausmekaniikan simulaatioissa
2016
Tässä opinnäytetyössä käsittelemme Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics -menetelmää (SPH) virtausmekaniikan simulaatioissa. Aluksi johdamme nesteen liikettä kuvaavat differentiaaliyhtälöt. Määrittelemme SPH:n diskreetit divergenssi-, gradientti- sekä Laplace-operaattorit avaruuden diskretisoimiseksi. Lisäksi tutkimme SPH:n toimivuutta rajoitetuissa virtauksissa ja esittelemme menetelmiä rajoituksista seuraavien ongelmien korjaamiseksi tutkien erityisesti SPH:n renormalisaatiota. Lopulta käsittelemme ajan diskretisointia, simulaatiototeutuksessa tarvittavia tietorakenteita ja reunaehtoja sekä esittelemme simulaatiotuloksia sekä analyyttisesti ratkeaville Couette- ja Poiseuille -virtauksille sekä …
Unstable thin film spreading of volatile binary mixtures
2013
This Thesis discusses the fluid mechanics of thin films, with emphasis on dynamical instabilities observed in some situations. The theoretical part first presents the main theory of thin-film flow, and then advances to discuss the problems associated with incorporation of evaporative effects and binary mixtures in the model. In the experimental part, measurements related to spreading of certain class of binary mixtures are presented. The studied mixtures have a volatile component with low surface tension and a less volatile component with high surface tension. The main example of such a mixture is the water-isopropanol system. Tämän opinnäytteen aiheena on ohuiden nestekalvojen virtausmekan…
