265 : Flow + Transport
This example solve the Stokes problem in an Omega-shaped pipe and then uses the velocity in a transport equation for a species with a certain inlet concentration. Altogether, we are looking for a velocity $\mathbf{u}$, a pressure $\mathbf{p}$ and a stationary species concentration $\mathbf{c}$ such that
\[\begin{aligned} - \mu \Delta \mathbf{u} + \nabla p & = 0\\ \mathrm{div}(\mathbf{u}) & = 0\\ \mathbf{c}_t - \kappa \Delta \mathbf{c} + \mathbf{u} \cdot \nabla \mathbf{c} & = 0 \end{aligned}\]
with some viscosity parameter and diffusion parameter $\kappa$.
The diffusion coefficient for the species is chosen (almost) zero such that the isolines of the concentration should stay parallel from inlet to outlet. For the discretisation of the convection term in the transport equation three possibilities can be chosen:
- Classical Bernardi–Raugel stationary finite element discretisations $\mathbf{u}_h \cdot \nabla \mathbf{c}_h$ [set FVtransport = false, reconstruct = false]
- As in 1. but with divergence-free reconstruction operator in convection term $\Pi_\text{reconst} \mathbf{u}_h \cdot \nabla \mathbf{c}_h$ [set FVtransport = false, reconstruct = true]
- Time-dependent upwind finite volume discretisation for $\kappa = 0$ based on normal fluxes along the faces [set FVtransport = true]
Observe that the divergence-free postprocessing helps a lot for mass conservation, but is still not perfect. The finite volume upwind discretisation ensures mass conservation.
Note, that the transport equation is very convection-dominated and no stabilisation in the finite element discretisations was used here (but instead a nonzero $\kappa$). Also note, that only the finite volume discretisation perfectly obeys the maximum principle for the concentration but the isolines do no stay parallel until the outlet is reached, possibly due to articifial diffusion.
The computed solution for the default parameters looks like this:
