The objective of this paper is the development and assessment of a fourth-order compact scheme for unsteady incompressible viscous flows. A brief review of the main developments of compact and high-order schemes for incompressible flows is given. A numerical method is then presented for the simulation of unsteady incompressible flows based on fourth-order compact discretization with physical boundary conditions implemented directly into the scheme. The equations are discretized on a staggered Cartesian non-uniform grid and preserve a form of kinetic energy in the inviscid limit when a skew-symmetric form of the convective terms is used. The accuracy and efficiency of the method are demonstrated in several inviscid and viscous flow problems. Results obtained with different combinations of second- and fourth-order spatial discretizations and together with either the skew-symmetric or divergence form of the convective term are compared. The performance of these schemes is further demonstrated by two challenging flow problems, linear instability in plane channel flow and a two-dimensional dipole-wall interaction. Results show that the compact scheme is efficient and that the divergence and skew-symmetric forms of the convective terms produce very similar results. In some but not all cases, a gain in accuracy and computational time is obtained with a high-order discretization of only the convective and diffusive terms. Finally, the benefits of compact schemes with respect to second-order schemes is discussed in the case of the fully developed turbulent channel flow. Copyright (C) 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Coupling finite elements of class C1 on composite curved meshes for second order elliptic problems
Ashish Bhole, Herve Guillard, Boniface Nkonga, Francesca Rapetti
Summary: Finite elements of class C-1 are used for computing magnetohydrodynamics instabilities in tokamak plasmas, and isoparametric approximations are employed to align the mesh with the magnetic field line. This numerical framework helps in understanding the operation of existing devices and predicting optimal strategies for the international ITER tokamak. However, a mesh-aligned isoparametric representation encounters issues near critical points of the magnetic field, which can be addressed by combining aligned and unaligned meshes.

Efficient hyperbolic-parabolic models on multi-dimensional unbounded domains using an extended DG approach
Federico Vismara, Tommaso Benacchio
Summary: This paper introduces a method for solving hyperbolic-parabolic problems on multidimensional semi-infinite domains. By dividing the computational domain into bounded and unbounded subdomains and coupling them using numerical fluxes at the interface, accurate numerical solutions are obtained. In addition, computational cost can be reduced by tuning the parameters of the basis functions.

Extension of moving particle simulation by introducing rotational degrees of freedom for dilute fiber suspensions
Keigo Enomoto, Takato Ishida, Yuya Doi, Takashi Uneyama, Yuichi Masubuchi
Summary: We have developed a novel Moving Particle Simulation (MPS) method to accurately reproduce the motion of fibers in sheared liquids. By introducing the micropolar fluid model, we address the issue of fibers being aligned with the flow direction in conventional MPS simulations. Our method is capable of accurately reproducing the fiber motion predicted by Jeffery's theory.
