The explicit semi-Lagrangian method method for solution of Lagrangian transport equations as developed in [Natarajan and Jacobs, Computer and Fluids, 2020] is adopted for the solution of stochastic differential equations that is consistent with Discontinuous Spectral Element Method (DSEM) approximations of Eulerian conservation laws. The method extends the favorable properties of DSEM that include its high-order accuracy, its local and boundary fitted properties and its high performance on parallel platforms for the concurrent Monte-Carlo, semi-Lagrangian and Eulerian solution of a class of time-dependent problems that can be described by coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian formulations. The semi-Lagrangian method seeds particles at Gauss quadrature collocation nodes within a spectral element. The particles are integrated explicitly in time according to a drift velocity and a Wiener increment forcing and form the nodal basis for an advected interpolant. This interpolant is mapped back in a semi-Lagrangian fashion to the Gauss quadrature points through a least squares fit using constraints for element boundary values. Stochastic Monte-Carlo samples are averaged element-wise on the quadrature nodes. The stable explicit time step Wiener increment is sufficiently small to prevent particles from leaving the elements bounds. The semi-Lagrangian method is hence local and parallel and does not have the grid complexity, and parallelization challenges of the commonly used Lagrangian particle solvers in particle-mesh methods for solution of Eulerian-Lagrangian formulations. Formal proof is presented that the semi-Lagrangian algorithm evolves the solution according to the Eulerian Fokker-Planck equation. Numerical tests in one and two dimensions for drift-diffusion problems show that the method converges exponentially for constant and non-constant advection and diffusion velocities.

In the field of fluid numerical analysis, there has been a long-standing problem: lacking of a rigorous mathematical tool to map from a continuous flow field to discrete vortex particles, hurdling the Lagrangian particles from inheriting the high res olution of a large-scale Eulerian solver. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel learning-based framework, the Neural Vortex Method (NVM), which builds a neural-network description of the Lagrangian vortex structures and their interaction dynamics to reconstruct the high-resolution Eulerian flow field in a physically-precise manner. The key components of our infrastructure consist of two networks: a vortex representation network to identify the Lagrangian vortices from a grid-based velocity field and a vortex interaction network to learn the underlying governing dynamics of these finite structures. By embedding these two networks with a vorticity-to-velocity Poisson solver and training its parameters using the high-fidelity data obtained from high-resolution direct numerical simulation, we can predict the accurate fluid dynamics on a precision level that was infeasible for all the previous conventional vortex methods (CVMs). To the best of our knowledge, our method is the first approach that can utilize motions of finite particles to learn infinite dimensional dynamic systems. We demonstrate the efficacy of our method in generating highly accurate prediction results, with low computational cost, of the leapfrogging vortex rings system, the turbulence system, and the systems governed by Euler equations with different external forces.
Past Lagrangian/Eulerian modeling has served as a poor match for the mixing limited physics present in many sprays. Though these Lagrangian/Eulerian methods are popular for their low cost, they are ill-suited for the physics of the dense spray core a nd suffer from limited predictive power. A new spray model, based on mixing limited physics, has been constructed and implemented in a multi-dimensional CFD code. The spray model assumes local thermal and inertial equilibrium, with air entrainment being limited by the conical nature of the spray. The model experiences full two-way coupling of mass, momentum, species, and energy. An advantage of this approach is the use of relatively few modeling constants. The model is validated with three different sprays representing a range of conditions in diesel and gasoline engines.
A new implicit BGK collision model using a semi-Lagrangian approach is proposed in this paper. Unlike existing models, in which the implicit BGK collision is resolved either by a temporal extrapolation or by a variable transformation, the new model r emoves the implicitness by tracing the particle distribution functions (PDFs) back in time along their characteristic paths during the collision process. An interpolation scheme is needed to evaluate the PDFs at the traced-back locations. By using the first-order interpolation, the resulting model allows for the straightforward replacement of ${f_{alpha}}^{eq,n+1}$ by ${f_{alpha}}^{eq,n}$ no matter where it appears. After comparing the new model with the existing models under different numerical conditions (e.g. different flux schemes and time marching schemes) and using the new model to successfully modify the variable transformation technique, three conclusions can be drawn. First, the new model can improve the accuracy by almost an order of magnitude. Second, it can slightly reduce the computational cost. Therefore, the new scheme improves accuracy without extra cost. Finally, the new model can significantly improve the ${Delta}t/{tau}$ limit compared to the temporal interpolation model while having the same ${Delta}t/{tau}$ limit as the variable transformation approach. The new scheme with a second-order interpolation is also developed and tested; however, that technique displays no advantage over the simple first-order interpolation approach. Both numerical and theoretical analyses are also provided to explain why the new implicit scheme with simple first-order interpolation can outperform the same scheme with second-order interpolation, as well as the existing temporal extrapolation and variable transformation schemes.
In this paper we describe the construction of an efficient probabilistic parameterization that could be used in a coarse-resolution numerical model in which the variation of moisture is not properly resolved. An Eulerian model using a coarse-grained field on a grid cannot properly resolve regions of saturation---in which condensation occurs---that are smaller than the grid boxes. Thus, in the absence of a parameterization scheme, either the grid box must become saturated or condensation will be underestimated. On the other hand, in a stochastic Lagrangian model of moisture transport, trajectories of parcels tagged with humidity variables are tracked and small-scale moisture variability can be retained; however, explicitly implementing such a scheme in a global model would be computationally prohibitive. One way to introduce subgrid-scale saturation into an Eulerian model is to assume the humidity within a grid box has a probability distribution. To close the problem, this distribution is conventionally determined by relating the required subgrid-scale properties of the flow to the grid-scale properties using a turbulence closure. Here, instead, we determine an assumed probability distribution by using the statistical moments from a stochastic Lagrangian version of the system. The stochastic system is governed by a Fokker--Planck equation and we use that, rather than explicitly following the moisture parcels, to determine the parameters of the assumed distribution. We are thus able to parameterize subgrid-scale condensation in an Eulerian model in a computationally efficient and theoretically well-founded way. In two idealized advection--condensation problems we show that a coarse Eulerian model with the subgrid parameterization is well able to mimic its Lagrangian counterpart.
We present a multi-scale lattice Boltzmann scheme, which adaptively refines particles velocity space. Different velocity sets, i.e., higher- and lower-order lattices, are consistently and efficiently coupled, allowing us to use the higher-order latti ce only when and where needed. This includes regions of either high Mach number or high Knudsen number. The coupling procedure of different lattices consists of either projection of the moments of the higher-order lattice onto the lower-order lattice or lifting of the lower-order lattice to the higher-order velocity space. Both lifting and projection are local operations, which enable a flexible adaptive velocity set. The proposed scheme can be formulated both in a static and an optimal, co-moving reference frame, in the spirit of the recently introduced Particles on Demand method. The multi-scale scheme is first validated through a convected athermal vortex and also studied in a jet flow setup. The performance of the proposed scheme is further investigated through the shock structure problem and a high Knudsen Couette flow, typical examples of highly non-equilibrium flows in which the order of the velocity set plays a decisive role. The results demonstrate that the proposed multi-scale scheme can operate accurately, with flexibility in terms of the underlying models and with reduced computational requirements.
