This project gathered four sub-projects related to Numerical Methods. Most of these activities are related to the use of high-order schemes presented in [1] in the context of Finite-Volumes Method.

Sub-project 1 (N. Odier, B. Martin, G. Lartigue): The main objective of this sub-project was to implement a High-Order Finite-Volume method in the Cell-Vertex compressible code AVBP.
Sub-project 2 (G. Lartigue, M. Bernard, G. Balarac): The main objective of this sub-project was to work on the use of High-Order Finite-Volume method to solve the Poisson Equation in the incompressible code YALES2.
Sub-project 3 (G. Sahut, G. Balarac, G. Lartigue): The main objective of this sub-project was to implement a URANS method with a semi-implicit solver in YALES2.
Sub-project 4 (G. Lartigue, V. Moureau): The main objective of this sub-project was to improve the precision and robustness of the Laplacian Operator in YALES2. There is two class of operators in YALES2: ROBUST (a.k.a. PAIR_BASED and IGNORE_SKEWNESS) and PRECISE (a.k.a. SIMPLEX). It has been shown that for operators with constant coefficients (as in ICS and VDS solvers), the PRECISE approach is unconditionally stable and must be used in all situations. However, in the SPS solver, the density variations across a pair of vertex can lead to a non-PSD operator. A major achievement of the workshop was to propose an hybrid operator that mixes both operators to achieve both precision and robustness. This operator will be implemented in a near future.
Discussion (All): A two-hours discussion on Tuesday afternoon have been dedicated to the analysis of the paper [2]. This paper deals with an optimal way of mixing a robust low-order numerical scheme with high-order scheme. The major interest of this mixing technique is that it preserves the boundedness of the solution with a so-called convex-limiting. This is similar to WENO techniques but it relies on the resolution of the interface Riemann problems

Participants: Thomas Fabbri and Guillaume Balarac, LEGI, Barthélémy Thibaud and Simon Mendez, IMAG, Likhitha Ramesh Reddy and Axelle Viré, TU Delft and Pierre Bénard, CORIA

This project gathered three sub-projects related to fluid-structure interactions (FSI). Their common feature was the FSI solver from YALES2, which is based on a partitioned approach. The FSI solver couples an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian solver for predicting the fluid motion in a moving domain (FSI_ALE) and a solver for structural dynamics (FSI_SMS), which are both YALES2 solvers. The FSI solver has been initiated by Thomas Fabbri (LEGI, Grenoble) and the objectives of ECFD4 were to optimize it and generalize its use among several teams, by improving its performances, demonstrating its versatility and adding multiphysics effects. All the projects made interesting progree and will continue over the newt weeks/months.

Sub-project 1 (Thomas Fabbri and Guillaume Balarac, LEGI): The aim of this sub-project was to decrease the time spent in computing the fluid grid deformation, which is currently the most expensive part of the calculation. The strategy is to solve a deformation field on a coarse mesh and apply it to a fine mesh after interpolation. Many pieces exist in YALES2 related to such a task (using several grids, performing interpolations...), but they are currently not appropriate for this application. The work performed during the workshop consisted in identifying the different subroutines of interest and start coding the method. Many parts of the method are functional and the next step is to properly compbine them and test its efficiency.
Sub-project 2 (Barthélémy Thibaud and Simon Mendez, IMAG): The aim of this sub-project was to validate the FSI solver in the case of a flexible valve bent by a pulsatile flow. A proper workflow (sequence of runs) has been defined during the week to be able to run this simulation and the first results are extremely promising, with already fair comparisons with the reference results from the literature. This workshop has also contributed in enhacing the experience of the solver at IMAG.
Sub-project 3 (Likhitha Ramesh Reddy and Axelle Viré, TU Delft and Pierre Bénard, CORIA): The long-term aim of this sub-project is to perform simulations of the flow around floating wind turbines, which constitutes a huge challenge, as it gathers the difficulties of wind tubines flows, two-phase flows, and fluid-structure interactions between a fluid and a solid. During the workshop, the aim was to progress on two aspects: the use of the two-phase flow solver of YALES2, SPS, in a moving domain (coupling SPS and ALE) and the coupling with FSI. Both tasks were tackled: preliminary validation simulations were performed for the SPS-ALE solver, and the strategy to couple the SPS-ALE solver with the FSI has been clearly identified within the group.
Common work: TU Delft (Sub-project 3) needs to perform FSI without deformation of the structure, so that the coupling with the SMS solver may not be indispensable. Tests were performed to study the ability of the SMS to work in a regime of very stiff material to mimic rigid bodies, and first tests were very convincing. In the future however, it is planned to implement a rigid-body motion solver in YALES2 as an alternative to SMS. This task gathers the four teams of the project and is a clear shared objective of the next months.
Bugs and cleaning: minor bugs were identified in the FSI solver, mostly related to options rarely used. There were corrected and pushed in the YALES2 gitlab.
Documentation: the information shared between participants for the use and understanding of the SMS and FSI solvers has been directly gathered in the YALES2 wiki.
