In this thesis, an Adomian Based Scheme (ABS) for the compressible
Navier-Stokes equations is constructed, resulting in a new multiderivative type
scheme not found in the context of fluid dynamics. Moreover, this scheme is
developed as a means to reduce the computational cost associated with
aeroacoustic simulations, which are unsteady in nature with high-order
requirements for the acoustic wave propagation. We start by constructing a set
of governing equations for the hybrid computational aeroacoustics method,
splitting the problem into two steps: acoustic source computation and
wave propagation.
The first step solves the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation using Chorin's
projection method, which can be understood as a prediction-correction method.
First, the velocity prediction is obtained solving the viscous Burgers'
equation. Then, its divergence-free correction is performed using a pressure
Poisson type projection. In the velocity prediction substep, Burgers' equation
is solved using two ABS variants: a MAC type implementation, and a ``modern''
ADER method. The second step in the hybrid method, related to wave propagation,
is solved combining ABS with the discontinuous Galerkin high-order approach.
Described solvers are validated against several test cases: vortex shedding
and Taylor-Green vortex problems for the first step, and a Gaussian wave
propagation in the second case.
Although ABS is a multiderivative type scheme, it is easily programmed with an
elegant recursive formulation, even for the general Navier-Stokes equations.
Results show that its simplicity combined with excellent adaptivity
capabilities allows for a successful extension to very high-order accuracy
at relatively low cost, obtaining considerable time savings in all test cases
considered.
