What are time-dependent flows?

This refers to simulations where time derivatives are present in


the basic equations describing the flow problem.
Time-dependent flows may or may not reach a steady-state
solution.
Any boundary condition parameter may be a function of time.
Material parameters may also depend on time, although the
physical relevance can be questioned.

Introduction
I t d ti

In time-dependent simulations, the solution of the problem has


to be satisfied at a discrete set of times starting from an initial
time. The solution at each time step is obtained by specific
integration schemes known as predictor-corrector methods. The
predictor method calculates a first guess at a specific time step.
This guess is used by the corrector method to compute the real
solution at the time step considered.

Time-Marching Scheme

How the time-marching scheme works


Consider a flow problem in which a boundary condition
parameter is time dependent.
Examples of such parameters are:
Flow rate
Temperature imposed along a wall
Velocity imposed along a boundary
The time dependence of the parameter is described by means of
a function f(t) such that:
(t) = o f(t)
where o is the nominal value of the parameter that you select.

The next time step is selected according to the current time step and
the tolerance value.

The time-marching scheme stops when:


The upper time limit is reached.
The time step is divided down to its minimum value
value.
The maximum number of successful time steps is reached.

Difference Between Time-Marching Scheme and


Evolution Scheme

In POLYFLOW, the time


time-marching
marching scheme is very similar to the
evolution scheme, but the fundamental difference is that the
evolution scheme is controlled by the convergence of the
iterative scheme,, while the time-marching g scheme is
controlled by the convergence and accuracy of the time-
integration technique.
