We developed a computational framework for simulating thin fluid flow in narrow interfaces between contacting solids, which is relevant for a range of engineering, biological and geophysical applications. The treatment of this problem requires coupling between fluid and solid mechanics equations, further complicated by contact constraints and potentially complex geometrical features of contacting surfaces. We developed a monolithic finite-element framework for handling mechanical contact, thin incompressible viscous flow and fluid-induced tractions on the surface of the solid, suitable for both one- and two-way coupling approaches. Additionally, we consider the possibility of fluid entrapment in pools delimited by contact patches and its pressurisation following a non-linear compressibility constitutive law. Furthermore, image analysis algorithms were adapted to identify the local status of each interface element within the Newton-Raphson loop. First, an application of the proposed framework for a problem with a model geometry is given, and the robustness is demonstrated by the residual-wise and status-wise convergence. The full capability of the developed two-way coupling framework is demonstrated on a problem of a fluid flow in contact interface between a solid with representative rough surface and a rigid flat. The evolution of the contact pressure, fluid flow pattern and the morphology of trapped fluid zones until the complete sealing of the interface is displayed. Additionally, we demonstrated an almost mesh-independent result of a refined post-processing approach to the real contact-area computation. The developed framework permits not only to study the evolution of effective properties of contact interfaces, but also to highlight the difference between one- and two-way coupling approaches and to quantify the effect of multiple trapped fluid pools on the coupled problem.

This article presents numerical investigations on accuracy and convergence properties of several numerical approaches for simulating steady state flows in heterogeneous aquifers. Finite difference, finite element, discontinuous Galerkin, spectral, an
d random walk methods are tested on one- and two-dimensional benchmark flow problems. Realizations of log-normal hydraulic conductivity fields are generated by Kraichnan algorithms in closed form as finite sums of random periodic modes, which allow direct code verification by comparisons with manufactured reference solutions. The quality of the methods is assessed for increasing number of random modes and for increasing variance of the log-hydraulic conductivity fields with Gaussian and exponential correlation. Experimental orders of convergence are calculated from successive refinements of the grid. The numerical methods are further validated by comparisons between statistical inferences obtained from Monte Carlo ensembles of numerical solutions and theoretical first-order perturbation results. It is found that while for Gaussian correlation of the log-conductivity field all the methods perform well, in the exponential case their accuracy deteriorates and, for large variance and number of modes, the benchmark problems are practically not tractable with reasonably large computing resources, for all the methods considered in this study.
We present hidden fluid mechanics (HFM), a physics informed deep learning framework capable of encoding an important class of physical laws governing fluid motions, namely the Navier-Stokes equations. In particular, we seek to leverage the underlying
conservation laws (i.e., for mass, momentum, and energy) to infer hidden quantities of interest such as velocity and pressure fields merely from spatio-temporal visualizations of a passive scaler (e.g., dye or smoke), transported in arbitrarily complex domains (e.g., in human arteries or brain aneurysms). Our approach towards solving the aforementioned data assimilation problem is unique as we design an algorithm that is agnostic to the geometry or the initial and boundary conditions. This makes HFM highly flexible in choosing the spatio-temporal domain of interest for data acquisition as well as subsequent training and predictions. Consequently, the predictions made by HFM are among those cases where a pure machine learning strategy or a mere scientific computing approach simply cannot reproduce. The proposed algorithm achieves accurate predictions of the pressure and velocity fields in both two and three dimensional flows for several benchmark problems motivated by real-world applications. Our results demonstrate that this relatively simple methodology can be used in physical and biomedical problems to extract valuable quantitative information (e.g., lift and drag forces or wall shear stresses in arteries) for which direct measurements may not be possible.
A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation framework for predicting complex flows is developed on the Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) platform. The TPU architecture is featured with accelerated performance of dense matrix multiplication, large high
bandwidth memory, and a fast inter-chip interconnect, which makes it attractive for high-performance scientific computing. The CFD framework solves the variable-density Navier-Stokes equation using a Low-Mach approximation, and the governing equations are discretized by a finite difference method on a collocated structured mesh. It uses the graph-based TensorFlow as the programming paradigm. The accuracy and performance of this framework is studied both numerically and analytically, specifically focusing on effects of TPU-native single precision floating point arithmetic on solution accuracy. The algorithm and implementation are validated with canonical 2D and 3D Taylor Green vortex simulations. To demonstrate the capability for simulating turbulent flows, simulations are conducted for two configurations, namely the decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence and a turbulent planar jet. Both simulations show good statistical agreement with reference solutions. The performance analysis shows a linear weak scaling and a super-linear strong scaling up to a full TPU v3 pod with 2048 cores.
In this paper, we develop a simplified hybrid weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) method combined with the modified ghost fluid method (MGFM) [28] to simulate the compressible two-medium flow problems. The MGFM can turn the two-medium flow pr
oblems into two single-medium cases by defining the ghost fluids status in terms of the predicted the interface status, which makes the material interface invisible. For the single medium flow case, we adapt between the linear upwind scheme and the WENO scheme automatically by identifying the regions of the extreme points for the reconstruction polynomial as same as the hybrid WENO scheme [50]. Instead of calculating their exact locations, we only need to know the regions of the extreme points based on the zero point existence theorem, which is simpler for implementation and saves computation time. Meanwhile, it still keeps the robustness and has high efficiency. Extensive numerical results for both one and two dimensional two-medium flow problems are performed to demonstrate the good performances of the proposed method.
Computational models are increasingly used for diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. To provide a quantitative hemodynamic understanding that can be effectively used in the clinic, it is crucial to quantify the variability in the outputs
from these models due to multiple sources of uncertainty. To quantify this variability, the analyst invariably needs to generate a large collection of high-fidelity model solutions, typically requiring a substantial computational effort. In this paper, we show how an explicit-in-time ensemble cardiovascular solver offers superior performance with respect to the embarrassingly parallel solution with implicit-in-time algorithms, typical of an inner-outer loop paradigm for non-intrusive uncertainty propagation. We discuss in detail the numerics and efficient distributed implementation of a segregated FSI cardiovascular solver on both CPU and GPU systems, and demonstrate its applicability to idealized and patient-specific cardiovascular models, analyzed under steady and pulsatile flow conditions.
