Steady-State Low-Order Explicit (LOE) Runge-Kutta Schemes with Improved Convergence

Abstract Details

2020, Master of Science, University of Toledo, Mechanical Engineering.
In Computational Fluid Dynamics, numerical schemes are used to integrate the time derivative to march a solution in time. One common time integration technique is the explicit Runge-Kutta scheme, which is used to obtain high orders of accuracy through a multistage procedure. Researchers have used and optimized high number of stages to obtain both high accuracy and inviscid stability limits. Recent research has shown that higher-order Runge-Kutta schemes' accuracy is degrading near the boundaries. Hence, a time marching scheme with low number of stages is desired. In this work, low order explicit (LOE) Runge-Kutta schemes are optimized to achieve high inviscid stability limits. Single-step and multi-step schemes are compared to higher-order schemes. The resulting schemes obtain nearly 90% of the stability limit per stage of the optimized Jameson five-stage scheme while using 50% fewer stages per time step, and over 80% of the stability limit per stage of the Allampalli HALE-RK67 scheme while using 60% fewer stages per time step.
