V00_SmoothDivV

Chorin projection: smooth the local values of div(v) before going into the correction pressure computation (UCV)

Default: V00_SmoothDivV = 000
entry description
first digit switch for projection of div(v)-values from boundary to interior
0: no projection
>0: projection, where the given value is the factor for the weight kernel that defines the distribution function
second digit number of smoothing cycles
third digit factor for the smoothing weight kernel
\begin{align} div({\bf v})_i^{\text{smooth}} = \sum exp(-\text{SmoothDivV} \cdot r_{ij}) \cdot div({\bf v})_j \end{align} Then, the Chorin correction pressure is established based on the PDE \begin{align} div({\bf v})_i^{\text{smooth}} = \nabla^T \left( \frac{\Delta t_{virt}}{\rho} \nabla c \right) \end{align} Note:
  • This parameter is used to study conservation properties of MESHFREE.
  • Surprisingly, it has bad effects on the smoothness of the velocity and pressure solutions. We observed transversal ripples for instance for the flow around and airfoil.
