Introduction

  • An asymptotic limit associated with a PDE is a limit in which certain

terms in the PDE are made “small” relative to other terms.

  • This ordering in size is achieved via a scaling parameter that goes

to zero in the asymptotic limit. For instance, denoting the scaling parameter by ǫ, a power-series solution in ǫ is assumed for the scaled PDE. Inserting the expansion into the PDE and equating coefficients of each power of ǫ lead to a heirarchical set of equations. One generally finds that the leading-order term satisfies a “sim- pler” PDE than the original one.

  • The leading-order term is said to be the asymptotic solution of the
  • riginal PDE, and the simpler PDE the asymptotic limit.
  • In many instances, the scale lengths associated with solutions of

the asymptotic equation are much larger than the smallest scale lengths associated with solutions of the original PDE. When this is the case, asymptotic-preserving (AP) discretization schemes are necessary for near-asymptotic problems to avoid com- pletely impractical mesh resolution requirements (∆ x ∼ O(ǫ), ǫ→0).

  • 1. Governing equations

Grey radiative transfer equations:

ǫ2 c ∂I ∂t + ǫ Ω · ∇I = σ( 1 4π acT 4 − I), (1) ǫ2CV ∂T ∂t = σ Id Ω − acT 4 . (2) I( r, Ω, t): Radiation intensity, T( r, t): Material temperature, σ( r, T): Opacity, a: Radiation constant, c: Speed of light, ǫ > 0: Knudsen number, CV ( r, t): Specific heat,

  • r: Spatial variable,

Ω: Angular variable, t: Time variable. Formally, as ǫ → 0 (opatically thick), (1)-(2) behaves like a diffusion equation.

Generally, a computational domain contains both small ǫ and large ǫ, leading to numerial diffuculties, since ∆x ∼ O(ǫ/σ) to resolve physical scale huge computing costs for small ǫ/σ. Expand I and T in ǫ and insert the expansions into (1)-(2) ⇒ the leading-order term satisfies (formally): I(0) =

1 4πac(T (0))4, and a diffusion equation

CV ∂ ∂t T (0) + a ∂ ∂t (T (0))4 = ∇ · ac 3σ ∇(T (0))4. (3) An asymptotic preserving (AP) scheme for (1)-(2) is a numerical scheme that discretizes (1)-(2) in such a way that it leads to a correct discretization of the diffusion limit (3) when ǫ/σ small.

Related results:

  • AP schemes were introduced first by Larsen, Morel and Miller ’87

for steady neutron transport problems

  • Further developments for different non-steady problems, based on

a decomposition of the distribution function between an equilibrium part and its derivation, by Klar, Jin, Pareschi, Toscani, · · · ’93-’13

  • A different approach by Xu & Huang ’10 for rarefied gas dynamics

based on a unified gas kinetic scheme (UGKS), further development by Mieussens ’13 for a linear transport model. (scalar equations are dealt with only) We want to use the idea of gas kinetic schemes to construct an AP scheme for the system (1)-(2).

Construction strategy

Construction strategy of an AP scheme for (1), (2):

  • i. Discretize (1) explicitly by a UGKS (discrete ordinate method like)

and show it to be AP;

  • ii. Take moments to (1) and combine it with (2) to give a macro diffu-

sion system, and solve this system implicitly;

  • iii. Resolve (1) by inserting the renewed values obtained by ii;
  • iv. Resolve (2) by inserting the renewed values obtained by i.

2.1. A UGKS for the radiative transfer equation (1) We shall solve (1) and (2) respectively. To solve (1), we taken T to be known. W.l.g., consider a general 2D linear kinetic equation: ǫ c ∂tf + µ∂xf + ξ∂yf = σ ǫ 1 2π φ − f

To discretize (4), as the usual discrete ordinate method, write the propagation direction (µ, ξ) as some discrete directions (µm, ξm), m = 1, · · · , M (= N(N + 2)/2) = ⇒ direction discrete equation: ǫ c ∂tf m + µm∂xf m + ξm∂yf m = σ ǫ ( 1 2π φ − f m) − ǫαf m + ǫG. (5) Denote f n

  • 6. Conclusions
  • A unified gas scheme is constructed for the grey radiative transfer

system.

  • The scheme has asymptotic preserving property and works well for

both optical thin and optical thick regimes.

  • We believe that it should work for more general problems, say, the

multi-group radiation transfer equations

  • 7. Future studies
  • More (practical) numerical experiments to validate the scheme
  • Extension to the multi-group radiation transfer equations
  • Extension to radiation hydrodynamics

Remark: Cares have to be taken in the construction of AP schemes. Recently, Wu& Guo’14 considered the steady problem: ǫΩ · ∇f ǫ + f ǫ − 1 2π

  • S1 f ǫ(x, Ω)dΩ = 0

in G, (16) f ǫ(x0, Ω) = g(x0, Ω) for Ω · n < 0, x0 ∈ ∂G, (17) where G = {x ∈ R2, |x| < 1}, Ω ∈ S1. They proved that f ǫ − leading-order termL∞ ≡ f ǫ − f 0 − f bL∞ = O(1), where f 0 is the corresponding interior solution to the Laplace eq. (dif- fusion eq.), f b is the Knudsen layer solution (to a Milne problem) ∼ no diffusion limit due to boundary. The correct limit is f ǫ − f 0

ǫ − f b ǫ L∞ = O(ǫ) no AP scheme.
