finite element method - Solving Navier-Stokes equations for a steady-state compressible viscous flow in a 2D axisymmetric step


Note: you may apply or follow the edits on the code here in this GitHub Gist


I'm trying to follow this post to solve Navier-Stokes equations for a compressible viscous flow in a 2D axisymmetric step. The geometry is :


enter image description here



lc = 0.03;
rc = 0.01;
xp = 0.01;
c = 0.005;
rp = rc - c;
lp = lc - xp;
Subscript[T, 0] = 300;
Subscript[\[Eta], 0] = 1.846*10^-5;
Subscript[P, 1] = 6*10^5 ;
Subscript[P, 0] = 10^5;

Subscript[c, P] = 1004.9;
Subscript[c, \[Nu]] = 717.8;
Subscript[R, 0] = Subscript[c, P] - Subscript[c, \[Nu]];
\[CapitalOmega] = RegionDifference[
Rectangle[{0, 0}, {lc, rc}],
Rectangle[{xp, 0}, {xp + lp, rp}]];

And meshing:


Needs["NDSolve`FEM`"];
mesh = ToElementMesh[\[CapitalOmega],

"MaxBoundaryCellMeasure" -> 0.00001,
MaxCellMeasure -> {"Length" -> 0.0008},
"MeshElementConstraint" -> 20, MeshQualityGoal -> "Maximal"][
"Wireframe"]

Where the model is axisymmetric around the x axis, the governing equations including conservation equations of mass, momentum and heat can be written as:


$$ \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left( \rho \nu_x \right)+\frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial }{\partial r}\left(r \rho \nu_r\right)=0 \tag{1}$$


$$\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left( \rho \nu_x^2+\mathring{R} \rho T \right)+\frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial}{\partial r}\left( r \left( \rho \nu_r \nu_x + \eta \frac{\partial \nu_x}{\partial r} \right)\right) \tag{2}$$


$$ \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\left( \rho \nu_x \nu_r+\eta \frac{\partial \nu_r}{\partial x} \right)+ \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial}{\partial r}\left( r \left( \rho \nu_r ^2 +\mathring{R} \rho T \right) \right)=0 \tag{3}$$



$$\rho c_\nu\left( \nu_x \frac{\partial T}{\partial x} + \nu_r \frac{\partial T}{\partial r} \right)+ \mathring{R} \rho T \left( \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial}{\partial r} \left( r \nu_r \right)+ \frac{\partial \nu_x}{\partial x} \right)+ \eta \left( 2 \left( \frac{\partial \nu_x}{\partial x} \right)^2+ 2 \left( \frac{\partial \nu_r}{\partial r} \right)^2+ \left( \frac{\partial \nu_r}{\partial x}+ \frac{\partial \nu_x}{\partial r} \right)^2 \\ -\frac{2}{3}\left( \frac{1}{r} \frac{\partial}{\partial r}\left( r \nu_r \right) + \frac{\partial \nu_x}{\partial x} \right)^2 \right)=0 \tag{4}$$


eqn1 = D[\[Rho][x, r]*Subscript[\[Nu], x][x, r], x] + 
D[r*\[Rho][x, r]*Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, r], r]/r == 0 ;
eqn2 = D[\[Rho][x, r]*Subscript[\[Nu], x][x, r]^2 +
Subscript[R, 0] \[Rho][x, r]*T[x, r], x] +
D[r*(\[Rho][x, r]*Subscript[\[Nu], x][x, r]*
Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, r] +
Subscript[\[Eta], 0]*D[Subscript[\[Nu], x][x, r], r]), r]/
r == 0 ;
eqn3 = D[\[Rho][x, r]*Subscript[\[Nu], x][x, r]*

Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, r] +
Subscript[\[Eta], 0]*D[Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, r], x], x] +
D[r*(\[Rho][x, r]*Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, r]^2 +
Subscript[R, 0] \[Rho][x, r]*T[x, r]), r]/r == 0;
eqn4 = Subscript[
c, \[Nu]]*\[Rho][x,
r]*(Subscript[\[Nu], x][x, r]*D[T[x, r], x] +
Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, r]*D[T[x, r], r]) +
Subscript[R, 0]*\[Rho][x, r]*
T[x, r]*(D[Subscript[\[Nu], x][x, r], x] +

D[r*Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, r], x]/r) + (2*
D[Subscript[\[Nu], x][x, r], x]^2 +
2*D[Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, r],
r]^2 + (D[Subscript[\[Nu], x][x, r], r] +

D[Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, r],
x])^2 - ((D[Subscript[\[Nu], x][x, r], x] +
D[r*Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, r], x]/r)^2)*2/3)*
Subscript[\[Eta], 0] == 0;
eqns = {eqn1, eqn2, eqn3, eqn4};


And the boundary conditions are:



  1. constant pressure at inlet

  2. constant pressure at outlet

  3. axis of symmetry

  4. no slip


Implemented as


bc1 = Subscript[R, 0] \[Rho][0, r]*Subscript[T, 0] == Subscript[P, 1] 

bc2 = Subscript[R, 0] \[Rho][lc, r]*Subscript[T, 0] == Subscript[P, 0]
bc3 = DirichletCondition[{Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, 0] == 0,
D[Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, r], r] == 0,
D[Subscript[\[Nu], x][x, r], r] == 0, D[\[Rho][x, r], r] == 0,
D[T[x, r], r] == 0}, r == 0 && (0 <= x <= xp )]
bc4 = DirichletCondition[{Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, r] == 0,
Subscript[\[Nu], x][x, r] ==
0}, (0 <= r <= rp && x == xp ) || (r == rp &&
xp <= x <= xp + lp) || (r == rc && 0 <= x <= lc) ] == 0
bcs = {bc1, bc2, bc3, bc4};


When I try to solve the equations:


{\[Nu]xsol, \[Nu]rsol, \[Rho]sol, Tsol} = 
NDSolveValue[{eqns, , bcs}, {Subscript[\[Nu], x], Subscript[\[Nu],
r], \[Rho], T}, {x, r} \[Element] mesh,
Method -> {"FiniteElement",
"InterpolationOrder" -> {Subscript[\[Nu], x] -> 2,
Subscript[\[Nu], r] -> 2, \[Rho] -> 1, T -> 1},
"IntegrationOrder" -> 5}];


I get the errors:



NDSolveValue::femnr: {x,r}[Element] is not a valid region specification.



and



Set::shape: Lists {[Nu]xsol,[Nu]rsol,Tsol,[Rho]sol} and NDSolveValue[<<1>>] are not the same shape.



Googling the errors does not offer that much of help (e.g. here). I would appreciate if you could help me know What is the issue and how I can solve it.


P.S.1. The NDSolveValue femnr error was caused by [ "Wireframe"] term at the end of meshing command changing it to



mesh = ToElementMesh[\[CapitalOmega], 
"MaxBoundaryCellMeasure" -> 0.00001,
MaxCellMeasure -> {"Length" -> 0.0008},
"MeshElementConstraint" -> 20, MeshQualityGoal -> "Maximal"];
mesh["Wireframe"]

resolves the issue.


P.S.2. There is an extra ==0 at the end of boundary condition 4 it was edited to:


bc4 = DirichletCondition[{Subscript[\[Nu], r][x, r] == 0, 
Subscript[\[Nu], x][x, r] ==

0}, (0 <= r <= rp && x == xp) || (r == rp &&
xp <= x <= xp + lp) || (r == rc && 0 <= x <= lc)];

at this moment the second error still persists and a new error was added:



NDSolveValue::deqn Equation or list of equations expected instead of Null in the first argument ...



P.S.3 There were multiple issues. So I decided to use this Github Gist to further edit the code.

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
