How to implement Boundary conditions in cfd.
Boundary and Initial conditions provide the unique solution for the considered physics.
Initial value condition : Represent a constraint to the DE at a particular point (at any time).
Differential Initial value is an equation which specifies how the system evolves with time for the given
initial condition of the problem.
ex:
dydx=cos(x)
y(0) = -1 (Initial Condition of the Dependent variable)
Solving , => y=sinx+c (generalised solution for the given ODE)
Using the initial condition (x = 0 , y = -1) , => c = -1 final solution is y=sinx−1
Note :
1. Initial values need not to be a values of y only , may be the derivative of the dependent variable.
2. Initial value problem does not always have a unique solution , possible for may solutions (or) No solution.
Boundary condition is a prescription os some combinations of values of the unknown solution and its
derivatives at more than one point.
Boundary Value Problem , considering the additional constraint Boundary condition. Solution satisfies
Boundary values . Boundary condition specifies a relationship between the values of the solution at
two or more locations in the considered intervals.
How many Boundary conditions need to specify for the given pde ?
Depends on the pde , Generally Number of Boundary conditions are given as the order of the derivative of the dependent variable in that direction.
∂2T∂x2+∂2T∂y2=γ⋅∂T∂t
Along x-direction => order = 2 ; so 2 BC required.
Along y-direction => order = 2 ; so 2 BC required.
Since transient term present in the pde ; Order = 1 => 1 IC required.
So , To get an Unique solution , we required 4 BC +1 BC.
How to implement the Boundary conditions ?
Boundary condition are implemented based on the model and type of flow physics.
Types of BC :
1. Dirichlet : Prescribed value .
2. Neumann : In the form of derivative (represent the flux)
3. Cauchy. : Dirichlet + Neumann simultaneously.
4. Robin. : Derivative of dependent variable as a function of the dependent variable.
Classification of PDE's :
There are 3 Types of PDE :
1. Elliptic.
2. Parabolic.
3. Hyperbolic.
Classification of pde is very important before considering the Numerical scheme. whether it is elliptical , parabolic , hyperbolic (Number of characteristics lines).
Generally fluid mechanics governing equations are second order partial differential equations.
General pde :
A⋅∂2ϕ∂x2+B⋅∂2ϕ∂x∂y+c⋅∂2ϕ∂y2+d⋅∂ϕ∂x+e⋅∂ϕ∂y+F=0
Whether the characteristic lines exist or not , depends on the higher order terms
∂y∂x=−b±(b2−4⋅a⋅c)122⋅a
if ;
(b2−4⋅a⋅c)<0 => No characteristic , means No discontinuity in the solution , if exists gets nullified. (elliptic)
There are Boundary Value problems
ex ;
Laplace Equation.
(b2−4⋅a⋅c)=0 => 1 real characteristic , time Marching problems
(b2−4⋅a⋅c)>0 => 2 real characteristics
The Numerical scheme should be selected in a way that can accept the discontuinities correclty in the domain where it exists.
