INOUT_FLOW
INOUT Flow Problem Solution Datasets

INOUT_FLOW is a set of velocity solutions to a time-dependent incompressible parameterized flow problem in in a cell with inflow and outflow.

The "INOUT" region is contained in the unit square, [0,1] x [0,1]. There is an inlet on the left side, from [0,0] to [0,0.2], and an outlet on the right side, from [1,0.8] to [1.0,1.0].

The time-dependent incompressible 2D Navier-Stokes equations are to be applied in the region. No-slip and no-penetration conditions are applied along the walls. The inlet on the lower left is open, and parabolic velocity inflow is specified, whose strength is controlled by a parameter alpha. At the outlet on the upper right, the flow is specified to have zero vertical component, and zero horizontal derivative. The dynamic viscosity is taken to be nu=1/300.

The steady state solution is computed for the particular value alpha=1/3. Using the steady state solution as initial condition, the time-dependent problem is solved over the interval 0<=t<=5, with alpha = 5/3 for timesteps 1 through 250, and then alpha = 1/3 for timesteps 251 through 500. The two instantaneous changes to alpha induce violent transient behaviors.

The goal is to extract typical modes of behavior of the solution. Such a set of modes may then be used as a finite element basis that is highly tuned to the physics of the problem, so that a very small set of basis functions can be used to closely approximate the behavior of the solution over a range of values of alpha.
