Numerical Simulation of Thermoacoustic Wave Induced by Thermal Effects by Using Discontinuous Galerkin Method

Abstract

This paper describes a numerical model based on discontinuous Galerkin method for thermoacoustic investigation. Numerical investigation was conducted to study the behaviour of thermoacoustic wave propagations induced by thermal effects in 2-dimensional enclosure. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations are used as the governing equations. The spatial domain was discretized by using unstructured discontinuous Galerkin method and the explicit fourth-order Runge-Kutta was used to integrate the temporal domain. The accuracy of the numerical results was assessed against other numerical methods and linear solutions. The comparisons with linear solutions show excellent agreement and comparisons with flux corrected transport (FCT) method show fair agreement.
