We present a novel method for the determination of N-factors in cross-flow transition scenarios. The method considers numerical simulations, in which a turbulent model is applied downstream from a predetermined point and solves a laminar flow upstream from this point. The solution is postprocessed using higher order dynamic mode decomposition to extract the leading spatial mode in several small sections along the streamwise direction. The spatial evolution of the amplitude of this mode will determine the N-factor. The results presented are compared with experimental measurements and linear stability theory, showing the good performance of this novel method, which does not assume parallel flow assumptions, is automatic and computationally efficient.

Stability-analysis-based optimization to control flow separation over a diffusing passage

Yinzhu Wang, Esteban Ferrer, Jorge Saavedra, Guillermo Paniagua, Eusebio Valero

Summary: This study investigates an optimization approach using blowing to prevent flow separation at low Reynolds numbers, comparing a stability-based method with a traditional pressure loss-related optimization. The stability-based method showed comparable results to the traditional approach, demonstrating its potential usefulness in cases with unclear integral functionals.

Summary: In this work, the numerical advantages of the high-order Flux Reconstruction (FR) method and the simplicity of the mesh generation of the Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) are combined for steady and unsteady problems over moving geometries using the volume penalization (penalty-IBM) method. The efficiency of the approach in handling moving geometries is demonstrated through various numerical test cases, showcasing the potential of this method in industrial design processes.

Eigensolution analysis of immersed boundary method based on volume penalization: Applications to high-order schemes

Jiaqing Kou, Aurelio Hurtado-de-Mendoza, Saumitra Joshi, Soledad Le Clainche, Esteban Ferrer

Summary: This paper presents eigensolution and non-modal analyses for IBM based on volume penalization for the linear advection equation, investigating the influence of penalization parameter on numerical errors and stability. Through semi-discrete and fully-discrete analyses, practical guidelines are provided for selecting penalty parameters, along with a proposal to include a second-order term for improved accuracy and relaxed time step restrictions. Results suggest that careful selection of penalty terms and damping can lead to a more accurate scheme for simulating flow past a cylinder.

Non-modal analysis of linear multigrid schemes for the high-order Flux Reconstruction method

Aurelio Hurtado-de-Mendoza, Jiaqing Kou, Saumitra Joshi, Kunal Puri, Charles Hirsch, Esteban Ferrer

Summary: We present a numerical analysis of linear multigrid operators for the high-order Flux Reconstruction method. The non-modal analysis is used to assess the short-term numerical dissipation in the context of 1D and 2D linear convection-diffusion. The effect of several parameters, including the number of coarse-level iterations, the polynomial order, and the combination of h- and p-multigrid, is explored to find the most efficient configurations. V-cycle p-multigrid is shown to be more efficient at higher polynomial orders, and the use of W-cycles and/or hp-multigrid appears to offer additional advantages. Additionally, the influence of high Peclet numbers and high aspect-ratio cells on error dissipation is investigated in the 2D case. Finally, the non-modal dissipation is related to the convergence rate of the multigrid through a series of manufactured solutions.

Fernando Manrique de Lara, Esteban Ferrer

Summary: High order discontinuous Galerkin methods offer accurate solutions with high order polynomials, but at increased cost. This study proposes using Neural Networks to accelerate the method by training the network to correct low order solutions and recover high order accuracy. The results show good accuracy and acceleration, particularly for high polynomial orders.

Summary: This article presents an entropy-stable formulation for the compressible Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the Spalart-Allmaras closure model. The proposed model satisfies an entropy law and employs a high-order Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) approximation with discrete stability analysis.

An entropy-stable p-adaptive nodal discontinuous Galerkin for the coupled Navier-Stokes/Cahn-Hilliard system

Gerasimos Ntoukas, Juan Manzanero, Gonzalo Rubio, Eusebio Valero, Esteban Ferrer

Summary: This paper presents a novel entropy-stable discontinuous Galerkin approximation for the incompressible Navier-Stokes/Cahn-Hilliard system. The scheme supports p-adaptation and maintains the properties of the original conforming scheme when transitioning to p-non-conforming elements. The authors also introduce a heuristic adaptation criterion and verify the scheme through simulations.

A combined volume penalization / selective frequency damping approach for immersed boundary methods applied to high-order schemes

Jiaqing Kou, Esteban Ferrer

Summary: There has been a recent growing interest in developing efficient immersed boundary methods (IBM) based on Cartesian grids in the context of high-order methods. This work proposes an improvement for high-order solvers based on flux reconstruction by introducing a selective frequency damping (SFD) method to suppress spurious oscillations. Numerical properties are studied through eigensolution analysis and demonstrate the advantages of using the SFD method as an alternative to traditional volume penalization, as well as the beneficial properties of combining both approaches. The new approach is applied to simulate steady and unsteady flow scenarios, showing the improved accuracy provided by the SFD method.

Toward a robust detection of viscous and turbulent flow regions using unsupervised machine learning

Kheir-Eddine Otmani, Gerasimos Ntoukas, Oscar A. Marino, Esteban Ferrer

Summary: We propose an invariant feature space using principal invariants of strain and rotational rate tensors for detecting viscous-dominated and turbulent regions. The feature space is independent of coordinate frame and allows identification of viscous-dominated rotational region and inviscid irrotational region. Tests on laminar and turbulent flow cases showed that Gaussian mixture clustering effectively identifies these regions without requiring an arbitrary threshold like traditional sensors.

Aeroacoustic airfoil shape optimization enhanced by autoencoders

Jiaqing Kou, Laura Botero-Bolivar, Roman Ballano, Oscar Marino, Leandro de Santana, Eusebio Valero, Esteban Ferrer

Summary: This study presents a framework for optimizing the airfoil shape of wind turbine blades to reduce trailing edge noise. The framework uses Amiet's theory, the TNO-Blake model, and XFOIL simulations to evaluate noise and boundary layer parameters. Particle swarm optimization is employed to find the optimized airfoil configuration, while traditional shape optimization techniques are compared to machine learning methods using a variational autoencoder. The autoencoder-based optimized airfoil reduces overall sound pressure level by 3% (1.75 dBA) and improves aerodynamic properties compared to the baseline NACA0012 airfoil.

Length-scales for efficient CFL conditions in high-order methods with distorted meshes: Application to local-timestepping for p-multigrid

Saumitra Joshi, Jiaqing Kou, Aurelio Hurtado de Mendoza, Kunal Puri, Charles Hirsch, Gonzalo Rubio, Esteban Ferrer

Summary: We propose a strategy to estimate the maximum stable time-steps for explicit time-stepping methods for hyperbolic systems in a high-order flux reconstruction framework. The strategy directly incorporates the spatial polynomial-and mesh-discretization in estimating the convective and diffusive length-scales, and is extended to the density-based Navier-Stokes system of equations, taking into account the omnidirectionality of the speed of sound.
