//! Code verification of the SIMPLE solver by manufactured solution. //! //! Cavity benchmarks tell you whether the answer looks like the picture in the //! paper. This tells you the rate at which the discretisation converges to an //! exact solution, which is a statement about the code rather than about the //! flow, and which no amount of tuning can fake. //! //! # The manufactured solution //! //! ```text //! u(x, y) = sin(pi x) cos(pi y) //! v(x, y) = -cos(pi x) sin(pi y) //! p(x, y) = sin(pi x) sin(pi y) //! ``` //! //! The velocity field is divergence-free by construction — //! `du/dx = pi cos cos` and `dv/dy = -pi cos cos` — which it must be, or the //! pressure-correction equation is being asked to solve an inconsistent //! problem and the measurement means nothing. //! //! The pressure is deliberately *not* the one that goes with this velocity in //! a force-free flow. With `p = (cos 2pi x + cos 2pi y)/4` the convective and //! pressure terms cancel identically at unit density, which would leave the //! convection discretisation untested. This choice keeps all three terms //! present in the source. //! //! # Grid convention //! //! On this staggered layout, with `nx` by `ny` cells over the unit square: //! //! ```text //! u[(j, i)] at ( i dx, (j + 0.5) dy ) i = 0..=nx //! v[(j, i)] at ( (i + 0.5) dx, j dy ) j = 0..=ny //! p[(j, i)] at ( (i + 0.5) dx, (j + 0.5) dy ) //! ``` //! //! Cell `i` is bounded by u-faces `i` and `i + 1`, which is the convention //! `compute_mass_source` uses to form the divergence and therefore the one //! that defines the grid. //! //! # What this currently measures — and it is not yet good enough //! //! First-order upwind should give an observed order of 1. **It measures about //! 0.5**, and the `u` component is markedly further from the exact solution //! than `v` on the same mesh. Both facts say there is at least one more defect //! in the discretisation or its boundary treatment, and the asymmetry between //! the two momentum equations is the strongest clue as to where. //! //! This test therefore asserts what is established — that the error falls //! monotonically under refinement, which it did *not* do before the diffusion //! conductances were corrected — and records the shortfall rather than //! asserting a rate the solver does not achieve. Raising it to 1 is the //! precondition for the second-order convection work, not a consequence of it: //! there is no point adding a higher-order scheme to a discretisation that has //! not yet demonstrated first order. //! //! Found by this test already: the diffusion conductances omitted the face //! area, reading `mu / dx` where finite volume requires `mu * A / delta`, so //! viscosity was too large by a factor of `1/h` — 65 times on a 65x65 mesh. //! Before that fix the error did not reduce under refinement at all. use rtx_cfd::solvers::incompressible::{ BoundaryConditions, FlowField, SimpleParameters, SimpleSolver, }; use rtx_cfd::{CfdConfig, CfdResult}; use std::f64::consts::PI; const RHO: f64 = 1.0; const MU: f64 = 0.05; fn u_exact(x: f64, y: f64) -> f64 { (PI * x).sin() * (PI * y).cos() } fn v_exact(x: f64, y: f64) -> f64 { -(PI * x).cos() * (PI * y).sin() } /// Momentum source `f = rho (u.grad)u - mu lap(u) + grad p`, derived by hand. /// /// The convective terms collapse neatly: /// `(u.grad)u = pi sin(pi x) cos(pi x) = (pi/2) sin(2 pi x)` and likewise /// `(u.grad)v = (pi/2) sin(2 pi y)`, because `sin^2 + cos^2` factors out. /// The Laplacians are `lap(u) = -2 pi^2 u` and `lap(v) = -2 pi^2 v`. fn source(x: f64, y: f64) -> (f64, f64) { let fx = RHO * 0.5 * PI * (2.0 * PI * x).sin() + 2.0 * PI * PI * MU * u_exact(x, y) + PI * (PI * x).cos() * (PI * y).sin(); let fy = RHO * 0.5 * PI * (2.0 * PI * y).sin() + 2.0 * PI * PI * MU * v_exact(x, y) + PI * (PI * x).sin() * (PI * y).cos(); (fx, fy) } /// Solve the manufactured problem on an `n` by `n` grid, returning the L2 /// error of the velocity field over the interior faces. async fn l2_error(n: usize) -> CfdResult { let dx = 1.0 / n as f64; let dy = dx; let config = CfdConfig::new() .with_density(RHO) .with_viscosity(MU) .with_reference_velocity(1.0) .with_reference_length(1.0); let params = SimpleParameters::default() .with_max_iterations(40000) .with_tolerance(1e-9); let mut solver = SimpleSolver::new(config, params)?; solver.set_momentum_source(source); let mut field = FlowField::new(n, n, dx, dy)?; // Impose the exact solution on the outermost layer of faces. // // The momentum sweeps run over interior faces only — `1..nx` for u and // `1..ny` for v — so this layer is never overwritten and an empty // boundary-condition set leaves it untouched for the whole solve.
