MAST-RT0 SOLUTION OF 3D NAVIER STOKES EQUATIONS ON UNSTRUCTURED MESHS. PRELIMINARY RESULTS IN THE LAMINAR CASE

MAST-RT0 solution of 3D Navier Stokes equations in very irregular domains. Preliminary results in the laminar case
2021
A new numerical methodology to solve the 3D Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids within complex boundaries and unstructured body-fitted tetrahedral mesh is presented and validated with three literature and one real-case tests. We apply a fractional time step procedure where a predictor and a corrector problem are sequentially solved. The predictor step is solved applying the MAST (Marching in Space and Time) procedure, which explicitly handles the non-linear terms in the momentum equations, allowing numerical stability for Courant number greater than one. Correction steps are solved by a Mixed Hybrid Finite Elements discretization that assumes positive distances among tetrahedr…
