/UPWM/TG - Upwind Method for Momentum Advection

Description

Describes the Taylor Galerkin method for momentum advection. This method is not available with multi-material law 51 (/MAT/MULTIMAT).

Description

fac

Coefficient for upwind term.

Default = 1.00 (Comment 3)

Comments

1.A Taylor development is applied on velocity vector and substituted in Navier Stokes equations. Integration is performed using standard Bubnov Galerkin integration. This introduces terms with a streamline character. Assumption is made that viscous stress is negligible (high Reynolds number). This is also not valid for stationary cases.
2.If this keyword is used, the usual upwind method for momentum advection (defined with coefficient symbol_n1 from /UPWIND) is replaced.
3.Best results are obtained for:

upwm_tg_eq

Where, M is the Mach number. Which means for subsonic simulation, coefficient fac > 1 is advised. The original TG method is obtained for fac = 1.00 and does not take into account compressibility for stability time step (upwind term is proportional to it).

4.The /SUPG and /TG options are available in 3D Euler, 3D ALE and 2D Euler, although they are not recommended in axisymmetric cases.
