SummaryThe objective of this study is to compare and contrast three numerical algorithms that can be used to estimate

the forces and pressure distribution on wings in flapping motion. All algorithms are used to solve the unsteadyNavier-Stokes equations in two dimensions at low Reynolds Numbers. The four algorithms are a) an A-stable,implicit discretization b) the time-spectral algorithm that implicitly assumes that the flow-field in temporallyperiodic, c) incompressible formulations of a) and d) incompressible formulations of b) using the artificial com-pressibility method. The methods in a) and b) have been reported earlier in literature but their applicationto flapping wing flows at low Reynolds number is new. The algorithms introduced in c), and d) are new andpreviously not reported in literature. In this abstract, the four algorithms are used for roughly similar test casesto obtain preliminary estimates for their merits and demerits. The final version of the paper will use the sametest case for all the algorithms to enable even-handed comparison of the different numerical methods.

BackgroundInsect flight control has been studied extensively from a physiological perspective, but its mechanics are

not understood well. Even when the kinematic changes elicited by a given stimulus have been defined, theirconsequences for aerodynamic force production often remain obscure. Quasi-steady aerodynamics have beenlargely supplanted by unsteady theories and is widely accepted as the mechanism that leads to the forces producedby insects in flight.3,4 Lighthill1 performed some of the earliest theoretical studies on the aerodynamics of insectflight shows the variation of lift and drag as observed by Weis-Fogh and Jensen.2 A variety of experimentalstudies have enabled a better understanding of the nature of wing articulation by insects in hover and forwardflight. While these studies enabled the authors to propose a variety of possible theories for insect flight, the lack ofa complete understanding of the flight control mechanisms have prevented a more comprehensive understandingof insect flight control. It is not clear how many degrees of freedom an insect controls to enable it to performits various maneuvers. Further, insects in controlled laboratory environments tend to produce lift and dragforces that are different from those observed in nature leading one to look for alternate analysis tools. It is alsodifficult to replicate subtle shifts in the center-gravity or even get a good estimate of the center of gravity of theinsect that further clouds our understanding. Finally, there is a wide body of evidence that suggests that unlikeconventional aircrafts/flight vehicles the control inputs for insects are highly non-orthogonal that complicates theprocess of separating the various motions. This ability of insects is interesting for both practical and theoreticalstudies because it might provide us with clues to develop more efficient control mechanisms for conventionalaircraft.

Fast and Efficient Numerical Solution TechniquesTo obtain accurate and fast estimates of the forces produced during the flapping motion, one needs to efficiently

integrate the Navier-Stokes equations in time. The dual time stepping scheme provides a convenient formulationfor a fully implicit scheme for true unsteady flows. To exploit the periodic nature of the flow over insectwings, alternate techniques need to be developed. Finally, the low speed nature of the flows, requires efficientmodification of the numerical algorithms to alleviate the stiffness introduced by disparate eigenvalues of thegoverning system of equations.

In the following subsections, the four numerical methods we explore are detailed.

Implicit Schemes for Unsteady Flow using the Backward Difference Formula (BDF)Time dependent calculations are needed for a number of important applications, such as flutter analysis, or

the analysis of the flow past a helicopter rotor, in which the stability limit of an explicit scheme forces the useof much smaller time steps than would be needed for an accurate simulation. In this situation, the fast steadystate solvers can be used to obtain a converged solution at each time step of an implicit scheme.9

Suppose that the semi-discrete form of the governing equations is approximated as

Dtwn+1 + R(wn+1) = 0. (1)

Here R(w) is the spatial discretization of the flux terms and Dt is a kth order accurate backward differenceoperator of the form

Dt =1

∆t

k∑q=1

1q(∆−)q, (2)

where∆−wn+1 = wn+1 − wn.

Applied to the linear differential equationdw

dt= αw

the schemes with k = 1, 2 are stable for all α∆t in the left half plane (A-stable). Dahlquist has shown that A-stable linear multi-step schemes are at best second order accurate.10 Gear however, has shown that the schemeswith k ≤ 6 are stiffly stable,11 and one of the higher order schemes may offer a better compromise betweenaccuracy and stability, depending on the application.

Dual Time-Stepping method with the BDFEquation (1) along with a choice of the time discretization operator (2) can now treated as a modified steady

state problem to be solved by a multigrid scheme using variable local time steps in a fictitious time t∗. Forexample, in the case of the second order BDF one solves

∂w

∂t∗+ R∗(w) = 0,

whereR∗(w) =

32∆t

w + R(w)− 2∆t

wn +1

2∆twn−1,

and the last two terms are treated as fixed source terms. In previous work the multigrid scheme has beenimplemented using a modified Runge Kutta (RK) method, in which the convective and diffusive terms aretreated separately in order to expand the stability region. The first term in the modified residual R∗(w) shiftsthe Fourier symbol of the equivalent model problem to the left in the complex plane. While this promotesstability, it may also require a limit to be imposed on the magnitude of the local time step ∆t∗ relative to thatof the implicit time step ∆t. This may be relieved by a point-implicit modification of the multi-stage scheme.12

In the case of problems with moving boundaries the equations must be modified to allow for movement anddeformation of the mesh.

This method has proved effective for the calculation of unsteady flows that might be associated with wingflutter13,14 and also in the calculation of unsteady incompressible flows.15 It has the advantage that it can beadded as an option to a computer program which uses an explicit multigrid scheme, allowing it to be used forthe efficient calculation of both steady and unsteady flows.

If the inner iterations required to converge the solution at each time step are small, the dual time-steppingmethod is an efficient A-stable scheme that allows large steps to be taken by the numerical simulation. However,if a large number of inner iterations are required at each step, then the method becomes expensive. Moreover,it is hard to access the accuracy of the scheme unless the inner iterations are fully converged.

Time Spectral Methods7

There are many unsteady flows in engineering devices such as turbomachinery or helicopter rotors in whichthe flow is periodic. In this situation there is the opportunity to gain spectral accuracy by using a Fourierrepresentation in time. During the last three years this idea has been investigated by McMullen, Jameson andAlonso,5,6 and shown to provide dramatic reductions in computational time for periodic problems over previouslyused methods. A brief outline of the time-spectral method is given below.

Let wk be the discrete Fourier transform of wn,

wk = −N∑

n=0

wne−ikn∆t

Then the semi-discretizationdw

dt+ R(w) = 0 (3)

is discretized as the pseudo-spectral scheme

Dtwn + R(wn) = 0 (4)

where

Dtwn =

N2 −1∑

k=−N2

ikwkeikn∆t

Here Dt is a central difference formula connecting all the time levels so equation (4) is an integrated space-timeformulation which requires the simultaneous solution of the equations for all the time levels. Provided, however,that the solution is sufficiently smooth, equation (4) should yield spectral accuracy (exponential convergencewith increasing N).

The time spectral equation (4) may be solved by dual time-stepping as

dwn

dt∗+ Dtw

n + R(wn) = 0 (5)

in pseudo-time t∗, as in the case of the BDF. Alternatively it may be solved in the frequency domain. In thiscase we represent equation (4) as

R∗k = ikwk + Rk = 0 (6)

where Rk is the Fourier transform of R(w(t)). Because R(w) is nonlinear, Rk depends on all the modes wk. Wenow solve equation (6) by time evolution in pseudo-time

dwk

dt∗+ R∗k = 0 (7)

At each iteration in pseudo-time Rk is evaluated indirectly. First w(t) is obtained as the reverse transform ofwk. Then we calculate the corresponding time history of the residual

R(t) = R(w(t))

and obtain Rk as the Fourier transform of R(t), as shown in the diagramWhile the time-spectral method should make it possible to achieve spectral accuracy, numerical tests have

shown that it can give the accuracy required for practical applications (‘engineering accuracy’) with very smallnumbers of modes.

Incompressible Formulations based on Artificial CompressibilityWhile the above formulations have been primarily used in the context of compressible flows, in the limit

of truly incompressible flow, or zero Mach number, alternative methods are needed to preserve the accuracy,robustness and convergence properties of the flow solution procedure. The fundamental difference between acompressible fluid model and an incompressible one is the loss of of the evolution equation for the density. Sincethe density is constant, a constraint must be imposed on the continuity equations to ensure a divergence-freevelocity field. In addition, the eigenvalues resulting from the system of conventional hyperbolic Euler equationsfor compressible flows become infinite in the limit of incompressible flow. This is due to the fact that the soundspeed becomes unbounded. Hence, the use of compressible flow solvers in the incompressible flow limit, introduceswidely varying eigen speeds, resulting in extremely stiff equations. To overcome this difficulty, the present workuses the artificial compressibility method, an approach first proposed by Chorin in 196716 as a method to solve

viscous flows. Artificial compressibility methods introduce a psuedotemporal equation for the pressure throughthe continuity equation. This approach removes the troublesome sound waves associated with compressible flowformulations as the Mach number approaches zero. The eigenvalues of the original system are now replacedwith an artificial set that renders the new set of equations well-conditioned for numerical computation. Whencombined with multigrid acceleration procedures, artificial compressibility proves to be particularly effective17.Converged solutions of incompressible flows over a main sail can be obtained in about 75-100 multigrid cycles.

Using the idea of artificial compressibility, the equations of motion of an incompressible, fluid can be cast inthe following form:

∂w

∂t+ P

{∂F

∂x+

∂G

∂y

}= 0. (8)

where w, f, g, h is the state and flux (inviscid and viscous) vectors and the preconditioning matrix P can bewritten as

P =

Γ2 0 0 00 1 0 00 0 1 00 0 0 1

. (9)

This set of equations has no physical meaning until the steady state is reached. At steady state, the timedependent pressure term drops from the continuity equation resulting in the true steady state equations for anincompressible flow. Further, Γ can be selected to accelerate the time decay to steady state.

Using the finite volume approach, the governing equations can be cast in the integral form for each computa-tional volume in the domain as follows,

Artificial Compressibility applied to the Time-Spectral MethodWhile the artificial compressibility method has been shown to be efficient for steady and unsteady simulations,

it has not been previously explored for the time-spectral method.

ResultsIn the following sections, the relative merits and demerits of the four methods are discussed. Our benchmark

test case is a NACA 0012 airfoil in plunge motion, with a plunge amplitude of 0.2 (times the chord) and a reducedfrequency of 3.0. Unless otherwise reported the numerical method was stable for lower frequencies and/or plungeamplitudes.

Dual-Time SteppingA NACA 0012 airfoil is simulated in plunge motion, with a plunge amplitude to chord ratio of 0.2, at a reduced

frequency of 3.0. The reduced frequency is defined as ω chord/(2 U∞). The meshes is of dimension, 512×64 andthe simulations were performed in laminar mode. The Reynolds number for this simulation was 1800 and a Machnumber of 0.2. Figure 1 shows the convergence history of the mean flow before the plunge cycle starts. Eachtime period was resolved with 72 time steps and the simulation was performed for 10 time periods to ensure that

a time periodic flow field was established. The Reynolds number for this simulation was 1800. Figures 3,4,5,6,7shows the pressure distribution at various instances in the plunge cycle. Figure 2 shows the variation in the liftcoefficient during the plunge cycle.

Time-SpectralA NACA 0012 airfoil is simulated in plunge motion, with a plunge amplitude to chord ratio of 0.2, at a reduced

frequency of 3.0. The reduced frequency is defined as ω chord/(2 U∞). The meshes for all the methods areof dimension, 512 × 64 and the simulations were performed in laminar mode. Figure 8 shows the convergencehistory for the time-spectral approach. Figures 9,10,11,12 shows the pressure distribution at various instances ofplunge cycle. This simulation was performed with 32 modes to resolve the temporally periodic flow-field. TheReynolds number for this simulation was 1000 and the Mach number was 0.2.

Artificial CompressibilityArtificial Compressibility for the Dual-time stepping Algorithm

The artificial compressibility correction was first implemented on the dual-time stepping algorithm. A NACA0012 airfoil is simulated in plunge motion, with a plunge amplitude to chord ratio of 0.2, at a reduced frequencyof 3.0. The reduced frequency is defined as ω chord/(2 U∞). The meshes is of dimension, 512 × 64 and thesimulations were performed in laminar mode. The Reynolds number for this simulation was 1800. Figure 13shows the convergence history of the mean flow before the plunge cycle starts. Each time period was resolvedwith 72 time steps and the simulation was performed for 10 time periods to ensure that a time periodic flow fieldwas established. The Reynolds number for this simulation was 1800. Figures 15,16,17,18,19 shows the pressuredistribution at various instances in the plunge cycle. Figure 14 shows the variation in the lift coefficient duringthe plunge cycle.

Artificial Compressibility for the Time Spectral AlgorithmThe artificial compressibility correction is now applied to the time spectral algorithm. The test case used here

is the AGARD airfoil in pitching motion at a reduced frequency of 0.202 and pitch amplitude of 1 degree. Thisflow was simulated with 8 temporal modes. Figure 20 shows the convergence history. Figures 21,22 shows thepressure contours predicted by modes 1,4,8 and 12.

While the time spectral method in conjunction with the artificial comrpessibility correction can provide mean-ingful loading profiles for pitching/plunging airfoil calculations, when we applied to the test case that the othermethods above were tested on, stability was a severe concern. For low reduced frequencies and/or plunge am-plitudes, a small number of modes was sufficient to resolve the flow field. However, at higher frequencies even alarge number of modes was insufficient to stabilize the calculation. An implicit formulation was also attemptedto stabilize the computation without much success. The largest frequency/amplitude combination we were ableto perform the computations was 0.2/0.08 with 32 modes and 300 Runge-Kutta cycles to converge each mode.

ConclusionsThe numerical tests included in this study show that the implicit discretization driven by fast steady state

solvers is adept at handling general unsteady flows. If the flow is temporally periodic and can be representedwith a small number of modes, the time spectral method is a powerful approach. For the problems studied here,it is not conclusive if the time spectral method is the appropriate choice. The rich spectrum of harmonics thatare present in the flows induced by the flapping motion suggest that the time-spectral method might require alarge number of modes to resolve the flow field. The implicit discretization typically uses 72 instances in eachtime-period, with 25 inner iterations for each physical solution and 10 periods to resolve the flow field. This isapproximately 18000 Runge-Kutta iterations to compute each flow field. The time-spectral method on the otherhand uses an average of 36 modes and 500 Runge-Kutta iterations each to obtain the time harmonic solution.This also leads to approximately 18000 Runge-Kutta iterations. With artificial compressibility, the implicitdiscretization is stable across a range of reduced frequencies and plunge amplitudes while the time spectralapproach on the other hand is less stable (even with larger number of modes) for high frequency plunge motions.The computational cost coupled with robustness makes us believe that the implicit discretization is the moreappropriate choice of numnerical method for flapping wing simulations.
