I am planning to write a FORTRAN code for CFD using Finite Element Methods. I am familiar with FEM for structures, but I am relatively new to FEM for fluids. Hence, It would be great if I can find help from those who already have some experience in this regard. Please suggest some good textbooks citing discretization of governing equations for fluids using FEM for 1D and 2D cases and also how to implement it in a code in the best possible way.
Dear Dhyan,
please find the attached 2 FORTRAN files for seepage analysis
I hope that helps you
regards
Hi Sir,
Thank for sending me your code. It would be more helpful if you can send a simpler code for reference. I would like to know more about the FEM part in the code, even if it is for a simple 2D pipe flow.
I can do the modfications later as I am already into coding using FVM.
Thanks and regards,
Dhyan
Hi Ebid,
Thank you for sending the reference. I just went through them and I feel these materials are great for starting.
I will go through them and if any queries shall arise, I will revert to you.
Thanks and regards,
Dhyan
Dear Tapan Sir,
I do understand the things which you have mentioned and there is no problem with FVM. Infact, I feel FVM is much better for my problems. But as of now, I need to work with FEM due to client requirements.
Thanks,
Dhyan
Hi,
Have a look on the FEniCS project (search on google). You may also be interested in the code Feel++
For convection-dominated problems, discontinuous Galerkin method are more suitable (close to the finite volume methods). But you can also use stabilized FEM using articifical viscosity (SUPG from Mallet, Hughes et al., works by Claes Johnson etc ...).
See also works by Di Pietro for Discontinuous Galerkin (DG)
Refer to book by Prof.Perumal Nitiarasu Swansea University UK.
Also check NPTEL for materials/lectures etc
Hello Mr.Tapan I have carried out many many CFD simulations and solved many problems with experimental validation using FLUENT for the last 18 years
