    A review of variational multiscale methods for the simulation of turbulent incompressible flows
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2015) Ahmed, Naveed; Rebollo, Tomás Chacón; John, Volker; Rubino, Samuele
    Various realizations of variational multiscale (VMS) methods for simulating turbulent incompressible flows have been proposed in the past fifteen years. All of these realizations obey the basic principles of VMS methods: They are based on the variational formulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and the scale separation is defined by projections. However, apart from these common basic features, the various VMS methods look quite different. In this review, the derivation of the different VMS methods is presented in some detail and their relation among each other and also to other discretizations is discussed. Another emphasis consists in giving an overview about known results from the numerical analysis of the VMS methods. A few results are presented in detail to highlight the used mathematical tools. Furthermore, the literature presenting numerical studies with the VMS methods is surveyed and the obtained results are summarized.

    An assessment of solvers for algebraically stabilized discretizations of convection-diffusion-reaction equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Jha, Abhinav; Pártl, Ondřej; Ahmed, Naveed; Kuzmin, Dmitri
    We consider flux-corrected finite element discretizations of 3D convection-dominated transport problems and assess the computational efficiency of algorithms based on such approximations. The methods under investigation include flux-corrected transport schemes and monolithic limiters. We discretize in space using a continuous Galerkin method and P1 or Q1 finite elements. Time integration is performed using the Crank-Nicolson method or an explicit strong stability preserving Runge-Kutta method. Nonlinear systems are solved using a fixed-point iteration method, which requires solution of large linear systems at each iteration or time step. The great variety of options in the choice of discretization methods and solver components calls for a dedicated comparative study of existing approaches. To perform such a study, we define new 3D test problems for time dependent and stationary convection-diffusion-reaction equations. The results of our numerical experiments illustrate how the limiting technique, time discretization and solver impact on the overall performance.
