Optimized compact finite volume formulation with dispersion relation preserving characteristics in structured space discretizations

Abstract

Computationally extensive fluid flow simulations usually require numerical schemes with a high degree of numerical precision, where high wavenumber and frequency capturing capability is desired in solutions with high physical fidelity. Numerical dispersion and diffusion errors must be reduced to a minimum in order to caputre low amplitude and high frequency flow aspects, such as flow induced sound waves and minor instabilities. Such schemes also must be capable of dealing with flow discontinuities, such as shockwaves and expansion waves in cases where the flow velocity stands near or above sound velocity. In this work the Dispersion Relation Preserving (DRP) optimization is formally extended to the compact Finite Volume (FV) framework where the error is minimized along a given spectral interval. This is done by equaling the resulting algebraic compact spectral optimized Finite Difference (FD) operators with the Finite Volume formulation with the desired numeric characteristics. Numerical tests are carried over linear and nonlinear governing equations models for one and three-dimensional cases, where the travelling Gaussian wave, the transient expansion wave and the smooth to nonsmooth step wave flows are considered. The proposed compact DRP FV schemes surpasses its counterparts in some numerical tests while maintaining comparable capabilities with other more basic schemes in the remaining numerical tests. Excellent broadband content capturing capability is observed, while possessing reduced numerical instabilities generation.
