Galerkin’s method

Here we consider three theoretical approaches. As for rigid spheres, numerical solutions of the complete Navier-Stokes and transfer equations provide useful quantitative and qualitative information at intermediate Reynolds numbers (typically Re < 300). More limited success has been achieved with approximate techniques based on Galerkin s method. Boundary layer solutions have also been devised for Re > 50. Numerical solutions give the most complete and...

In the mathematical literature, the Galerkin method is also known as Galerkin-Bubnov, while the case Wj / Petrov-Galerkin [30,68] and is used in special finite element formulations, such as those where the heat transfer is governed by convective effects. The application of Galerkin s method in the finite element method will be covered in detail in Chapter 9 of this textbook.

Bubnov-Galerkin s method is one of these. For nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations the fairly complete justification of this method was presented in the works by M.Urabe (1965,1966) and L.Cessari (1963). However, when justifying the applicability of Bubnov-Galerkin s method to systems with lag, one should overcome the fundamental difficulties. The idea how to do this was suggested in the work by Samoilenko and Nurzhanov (1979) devoted to the investigation of a certain class of integro-differen-tial equations.

The third method employs Galerkin s method in a finite element formulation to solve the single modified Reynolds equation, which is obtained by introducing explicit expressions of, V into the continuity equation (2,5). An appeal of the finite element method is its ease of implementing varying grid size close to the step. Similar technique is adopted in... 

The upwind Galerkin s method was then used. This was found to produced some improvement to the results, such as delaying the divergence by 2 or 3 iterations. But satisfactory convergence could not be achieved. 

The method in reference (4) to correct the pressure field for the effect of inertia was found to give reasonable convergence. In this case, the pressure is obtained by the standard Galerkin s method. The mean velocities U , Vm are calculated from non-inertial pressures. They do not satisfy the continuity equation, and therefore result in residual mass sources. These residuals together with the LHS of equation (4) produce the pressure correction p , which is then used to compute the velocity corrections u, v , as shown in Appendix 2. The process is repeated until the pressure fields do not change by 0.3%. In some cases, oscillations of the pressures behind the step occurred. This was smoothed partly by the upwind Galerkin s method, but it could not be completely removed. 

It was found that the standard Galerkin s method and the evaluation of the mass source term by the central difference technique gave stable results and they were adopted in this paper.
