A third-order multi-moment cell-centered Lagrangian scheme for hydrodynamics with an accurate 2D nodal solver

This paper presents a novel high-order cell-centered Lagrangian scheme for 2D compressible hydrodynamics by bridging the multi-moment constrained finite volume method (MCV) [16, 51, 52] with a nodal Riemann solver. This scheme (denoted by LMCV) not only maintains high-order accuracy as MCV but also inherits the conservation and robust properties of the nodal Riemann solver. On the one hand, the MCV employs and evolves both the point-values (PV) at cell vertexes and the volume-integrated averages (VIA) on computational mesh, which ensures the rigorous numerical conservation and establishes an adequate foundation for the computation of Lagrangian fluxes with high accuracy. On the other hand, we developed a 2D Riemann solver based on EUCCLHYD [24], it takes fully advantage of numerical formulations from high-order scheme and accomplishes the compatibility between the mesh movement and numerical fluxes. The main new features of the solver are the introduction of a new set of jump and balance conditions. The jump condition provides a high-accurate formulation linking the surface pressure of each cell to its nodal velocity, while the balance condition ensures nodal conservation and stabilizes the velocity field without losing accuracy. More intriguing is that our nodal solver can be regarded as a natural high-order extension of the HLLC and the HLLC-2D [41] solvers. The comparison between these solvers better demonstrates our innovative approach in addressing the difficulties encountered in constructing 2D high-order Lagrangian schemes. A variety of numerical experiments are carried out to illustrate the accuracy and robustness of the algorithm.

A reduced model for compressible viscous heat-conducting multicomponent flows

In the present paper we propose a reduced temperature non-equilibrium model for simulating multicomponent flows with inter-phase heat transfer, diffusion processes (including the viscosity and the heat conduction) and external energy sources. We derive three equivalent formulations for the proposed model. All the three formulations assume velocity and pressure equilibrium across the material interface. These equivalent forms provide different physical perspectives and numerical conveniences. Temperature equilibration and continuity across the material interfaces are achieved with the instantaneous thermal relaxation. Temperature equilibrium is maintained during the heat conduction process. The proposed models are proved to respect the thermodynamical laws. For numerical solution, the model is split into a hyperbolic partial differential equation (PDE) system and parabolic PDE systems. The former is solved with the high-order Godunov finite volume method that ensures the pressure-velocity-temperature (PVT) equilibrium conduction. The parabolic PDEs are solved with both the implicit and the explicit locally iterative method (LIM) based on Chebyshev parameters. Numerical results are presented for several multicomponent flow problems with diffusion processes. Furthermore, we apply the proposed model to simulate the target ablation problem that is of significance to inertial confinement fusion. Comparisons with one-temperature models in literature demonstrate the ability to maintain the PVT property and superior convergence performance of the proposed model in solving multicomponent problems with diffusions.

An Accelerated Stackelberg Game Approach for Distributed Energy Resource Aggregator participating in Energy and Reserve Markets Considering Security Check

With increasing distributed energy resoures (DERs) integration, the strategic behavior of a DER aggregator in electricity markets will significantly affect the secure operation of the distribution system. In this paper, the interactions among the DER aggregator, energy and reserve markets, and distribution system are investigated through a single-leader-multi-follower Stackelberg game model with the DER aggregator as the leader and the independent system operator and distribution system operator as the followers. To guarantee the operation security of the distribution system, security check problems under three different scenarios are involved in the follower level, which is linearized using a mixed-integer linearized power flow model. Then, using the strong duality theorem, the proposed model is converted into a bi-level mixed-integer linear (BMILP) programming model with only mixed-integer linear follower-level problems. Next, an accelerated relaxation-based bi-level reformulation and decomposition algorithm is proposed to solve the BMILP problem. Finally, case studies are carried out on a constructed integrated transmission and distribution (T&D) system and a practical integrated T&D system to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and algorithm. The simulation results indicate that the available downward reserve of the DER aggregator will decrease with the security limitation of the distribution system.

Diffuse interface relaxation model for two-phase compressible flows with diffusion processes

The paper addresses a two-temperature model for simulating compressible two-phase flow taking into account diffusion processes related to the heat conduction and viscosity of the phases. This model is reduced from the two-phase Baer-Nunziato model in the limit of complete velocity relaxation and consists of the phase mass and energy balance equations, the mixture momentum equation, and a transport equation for the volume fraction.Terms describing effects of mechanical relaxation, temperature relaxation, and thermal conduction on volume fraction evolution are derived and demonstrated to be significant for heat conduction problems. The thermal conduction leads to instantaneous thermal relaxation so that the temperature equilibrium is always maintained in the interface region with meeting the entropy relations. A numerical method is developed to solve the model governing equations that ensures the pressure-velocity-temperature (PVT) equilibrium condition in its high-order extension. We solve the hyperbolic part of the governing equations with the Godunov method with the HLLC approximate Riemann solver. The non-linear parabolic part is solved with an efficient Chebyshev explicit iterative method without dealing with large sparse matrices. To verify the model and numerical methods proposed,we demonstrate numerical results of several numerical tests such as the multiphase shock tube problem, the multiphase impact problem, and the planar ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability problem.
