A density-based flux scheme scheme for simulating low Mach flows

Participants : Pascal Bruel, Jonathan Jung, Vincent Perrier.

The topic dealt with concerns acoustic computations in low Mach number flows with density based solvers. For ensuring a good resolution of the low Mach number base flow, a scheme able to deal with stationary low Mach number flows is necessary. Previously proposed low Mach number fixes have been tested with acoustic computations. Numerical results prove that they are not accurate for acoustic computations. The issues raised with acoustic computations with low Mach number fixes were studied and a new scheme has been developed, in order to be accurate not only for steady low Mach number flows, but also for acoustic computations. Numerical tests evidenced the improvement of the proposed scheme with respect to the state of the art [9].
