    Solution of the potential flow though an orifice

    the problem

    solution of the “Basic problem” in 2D, potential incompressible flow \displaystyle u =\frac{\partial p}{\partial x}, \;\; v = \frac{\partial p}{\partial y},\;\;\; \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=0 to be solved in the upper half space y>0 filled with a porous media so that velocity is 0 at infinity (but pressure is not zero to have a flow). At the bottom, there is a slit (-1<x<1, y=0) where pressure is constant: p=0. And there is no penetration for (|x|>1, y=0), so normal velocity is \frac{\partial p}{\partial y}=0

    Solution is proposed in Sneddon and in Lamb. It is x=cosh(p) cos(\psi) and y=sinh(p) sin (\psi)

    iso lines of pressure are the ellipses \displaystyle \frac{x^2}{cosh^2 p} + \frac{y^2}{sinh^2 p } =1

    Code

    #include "run.h"
#include "poisson.h"
#define MAXLEVEL 8

scalar p[], source[];
face vector beta[];
mgstats mgp;

    far away, cosh(p)= sinh(p)= e^p/2, hence iso pressure are p \simeq log(2 \sqrt{x^2+y^2})

    Of course, this corresponds to the expected solution of a source far enough.

    as arcsinh(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}) \simeq log(2 \sqrt{x^2+y^2}) we write the approximate BC on the top right and left (and “mix” for fun).

    On the bottom, the mixed condition.

    p[right] = dirichlet(log(sqrt(4.*(x*x+y*y)))) ;  
p[left]  = dirichlet(asinh(sqrt(x*x+y*y))) ;   
p[top]   = dirichlet(log(sqrt(4.*(x*x+y*y)))) ;  
p[bottom] = fabs(x)<= 1 ? dirichlet(0): neumann(0);

    domain is large

    int main()
{    
    L0=50.;
    Y0=0;
    X0=-L0/2.;
    init_grid (1 << MAXLEVEL);
    run();
}

    coefficient of porosity is constant

    event init (i = 0) {
    foreach_face() {
        beta.x[] = 1; 
    }  
}

    no source

    event defaults (i = 0)
{ 
  foreach()
    p[] = source[] = 0.;
  boundary ({p});
}

    At every timestep, but after all the other events for this timestep have been processed (the ‘last’ keyword), we update the pressure field p by solving the Poisson equation with coefficient \beta.

    event pressure (i++, last)
{

    solve \nabla \cdot (\beta \nabla p )= s with http://basilisk.fr/src/poisson.h

      mgp = poisson (p, source, beta);
}

    error

    event logfile (i++)
{
    stats s = statsf (p);
    fprintf (stderr, "%d %g %d %g %g %g\n",
             i, t, mgp.i, s.sum, s.min, s.max);
}

    Save in a file

    event sauve (i++,last)
{
FILE *  fpc = fopen("pressure.txt", "w");
output_field ({p}, fpc, linear = true);
fclose(fpc);
fprintf(stdout," end\n");
}

    Run

    Then compile and run:

     qcc -O2 -Wall -o darcyLambSneddon darcyLambSneddon.c -lm
./darcyLambSneddon

    or better

     make darcyLambSneddon.tst;make darcyLambSneddon/plots; make darcyLambSneddon.c.html
