Motivation
• Explict CFD methods resolve all relevant time scales of the
wave dynamics (~ 1 nano sec).

micro channel

Liquid Volume fraction
• Problem: Due to the coupling of spatial and
temporal resolution (accoustic CFL condition)
explicit methods generate prohibitely long
computation times in complex geometries
(injection systems, pumps, …)
Pressure
Distance of Wave
travel at CFL = 1
The smallest cell in the domain
dictates the overall time step
• Is it really necessary to resolve all time scales?
We would like to increase the time step systematically and
therefore need an implicit method.

Numerical method and Physical model
• To get an implict method we modify a compressible standard
pressure-based algorithm (SIMPLE, 2. order in space and time)
1.) local underrelaxation (preconditioning of the matrix)
2.) density- instead of pressure correction, pressure from EOS
• Reference method: Explicit density-based code with CATUM flux
functions (TU Munich) and time integration scheme (2. order)
• Homogenous model
• Neglect of the energy equation
and use of a barotropic EOS
• inviscid flow

With the Implicit method, we can reproduce the Explicit method results.
Conclusion: The Implicit scheme is feasible.
For the next test case, we use a second order in time and space.

Conclusions
• For the prediction of the wall load which is the origin of cavitation
erosion it is sufficient to use CFL ~ 100.
• Possible application: visous flow computations with a fine nearwall resolution.
• The pressure-based code has in total a much higher CPU time
than the explicit code due to numerical issues. The cost per time
step must be decreased.
• For future investigations we recommend to use implicit densitybased methods.
