A Flow-Condition-Based Interpolation Method Combined with Splitting Algorithm for Wind Field Calculation

Abstract:

Wind field calculation is a research focus for wind disaster prevention in Civil Engineering. A new finite element procedure using flow-condition-based interpolation method combined with splitting algorithm is proposed in the paper. It used the analytical solution of one-dimensional advection–diffusion equation, and naturally introduced upwind effect in element interpolation functions. Further, combined with splitting algorithm, the element interpolation functions of velocity and pressure have concise format without meet Babuska-Brezzi condition. A two dimension four-node bilateral fluid element was constructed using flow-condition-based interpolation method and a corresponding program was developed. The solution procedure was discussed in detail and the numerical example solution was given to illustrate the capabilities of the procedure
