    Notes: Least square methods have been frequently used to solve fluid mechanics problems. Their specific usefulness is emphasized for the solution of a first-order conservation equation. On the one hand, the least square formulation embeds the first-order problem into equivalent second-order problem, better adapted to discretization techniques due to symmetry and positive-definiteness of the associated matrix. On the other hand, the introduction of a least square functional is convenient for finite element applications.This approach is applied to the model problem of the conservation of mass (the unknown is the density ρ) in a nozzle with a specified velocity field (u, v), possibly including jumps along lines simulating shock waves. This represent a preliminary study towards the solution of the steady Euler equations.A finite difference and a finite element method are presented. The choice of the finite difference scheme and of a continuous finite element representation for the groups of variables (ρu, ρv) is discussed in terms of conservation of mass flux. Results obtained with both methods are compared in two numerical tests with the same mesh system.

    Notes: This paper develops and analyses individual construction aspects of an efficient and accurate finite element algorithm for prediction of viscous and turbulent flow fields of impact in aerodynamics. The theoretical construction employs a Taylor weak statement (TWS) for coincident embedding of stability mechanisms within a classic Galerkin finite element formulation of semi-discrete approximation error orthogonalization. A wide variety of the stabilizing mechanisms of independently derived CFD algorithms are contained within the TWS theory. An implicit construction that meets the requirement of efficient convergence to steady state is developed. The theoretical asymptotic error estimates of the TWS finite element algorithm for supersonic and viscous boundary layer flows are verified. Application to a three-dimensional turbulent flow is cited.

    Notes: An iterative type harmonic finite element model is developed for solving the full non-linear form of the shallow water equations. The scheme iteratively updates time histories of the non-linear terms which are then harmonically decomposed and used as forcing terms for the linear sets of equations which result from the harmonic separation of the shallow water equations.A least-squares harmonic analysis procedure is used to decompose the non-linear forcing terms. This procedure allows for the very efficient separation of extremely closely spaced harmonics, since it is highly selective with respect to the frequencies it considers. In addition tailoring the procedure and using very specific time steps and sampling periods significantly reduces the number of time samplings points required. In conjunction with the iterative nature of our scheme, the least-squares procedure makes the scheme entirely general, allows for the direct assessment of all tidal constituents, including compound tides, and permits the clear cut and complete investigation of their mutual interaction through the non-linearities. In addition this procedure readily computes very-low-frequency or residual type circulations.The FE formulation used shows a very low degree of spurious oscillations while remaining quite simple to implement. This control on nodal oscillations is especially important due to the energy transfer mechanisms involved in this type of iterative scheme.In an example application the effects of the various non-linear overtide and compound tide type interactions are examined. It is demonstrated that not only are compound tides significant relative to the overtides, but they also influence the overtides.

    Notes: An engineering method for the design of aerofoils having a prescribed pressure distribution in subsonic or transonic flow is described. The method is based on an iterative procedure of ‘residual-correction’ type. In each iteration step, the difference between a current and a target pressure distribution (residual) is determined by a fast (multi-grid) finite-volume full-potential code. Corrections to the geometry driving the pressure residual to zero are determined by a global, inverse, thin-aerofoil theory based method for the subsonic part of the flow field, and by means of a local, inverse, wavy-wall theory based formula for the supersonic part of the flow field. The determination of the geometry correction has been formulated as a minimization problem in the sense that pressure distribution and geometry requirements may be balanced in a weighted least squares sense. The method is described briefly, including the basic mathematical/physical formulation and the main computational aspects. The capabilities of the method are illustrated by means of examples of aerofoil designs.

    Notes: The application of the Zienkiewicz-Zhu estimator was extended to the estimation of the discretization error arising from shape sensitivity analysis using the finite element method. The sensitivity error was quantified from the sensitivity of the energy norm by using an estimator specially developed for this purpose. Sensitivity analyses were carried out using the discrete analytical approach, which introduced no additional errors other than the discretization error. In this work, direct nodal averaging was used for linear triangular elements and the SPR technique for quadratic elements in order to obtain the smoothed stress and sensitivities fields. Two examples with an exact solution are used to analyse the effectivity of the proposed estimator and its convergence with the h-adaptive refinement. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: We study the transient motion of the solidification front during the growth of semiconductor crystals in the horizontal Bridgman geometry. The calculation is based on a two-dimensional flow. We use finite elements which deform with the motion of the interface. The energy equation is coupled with the isothermal constraint of the interface in an implicit transient algorithm. Several examples show the oscillatory motion of the interface caused by the periodic flow of the melt, and they reveal the importance of the growth rate on the shape of the interface.

    Notes: We study the generation of periodic velocity and temperature fields in a plane horizontal crucible of molten metal under the action of a horizontal temperature gradient. The geometry and the boundary conditions are similar to those encountered in the Bridgman growth process of semiconductor crystals, although the present paper is limited to two-dimensional flows. We use transient finite difference and finite element algorithms which lead to identical results. We demonstrate the oscillatory mechanism in two different geometries.

    Notes: Numerical algorithms are presented which combine spectral expansions on elemental subdomains with boundary integral formulations for solving viscous flow problems. Three distinct algorithms are described. The first demonstrates the use of spectral elements for the classic boundary integral method for steady Stokes flow. The second extends this algorithm to include domain integrals for solution of the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. The third algorithm explores the use of boundary integrals as a means of consolidating uncoupled elemental solutions in a domain decomposition approach. Numerical results demonstrating high-order convergence are presented in each case.

    Notes: A boundary element approach for time harmonic axisymmetric problems using the complete space point load fundamental solution is presented. The fundamental solution is integrated numerically along the azimuthal co-ordinate of each axisymmetric element. To increase the accuracy of the numerical integration a simple co-ordinate transformation is proposed. The approach is applied to the computation of the dynamic stiffness functions of rigid circular foundations on layered viscoelastic soils. Three different sites are considered: a uniform half-space, a soil layer on a half-space, and a soil consisting of four horizontal layers and a compliant half-space. The numerical results obtained by the proposed approach for surface circular foundations are very close to corresponding published results obtained by different procedures.

    Notes: The proficiency of available mixed methods for solving the flow of a Maxwell fluid is evaluated through their application to the same problem. The reasons for the usual degeneracy of the numerical results beyond some level of elasticity are investigated. The best-performing technique is applied to the flow through an abrupt 4/1 contraction.
