Detailed Description

A system of species transport equation can be solved. For $1<i<n_{species}$, it writes:

$$\omega_i \left( \frac {\alpha \mathbf{C_i}^{n+1} + \beta \mathbf{C_i}^n + \gamma \mathbf{C_i}^{n-1}} {\Delta t} + \mathbf{u^{n+1}} \cdot \nabla \tilde{C_i} \right) = \nabla \cdot \left( \lambda \nabla C_i^{n+1} \right)$$

where values of $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ helps to switch from Euler time discretization scheme of order 1 to the 2nd order backward differential one:

$\alpha = 1, \beta = -1, \gamma = 0$ for the Euler scheme

$\alpha = \frac {3} {2}, \beta = -2, \gamma = \frac {1} {2}$ for 2nd order BDF

As regards the advection term, velocity at time $t^{n+1}$ is know since the Navier-Stokes equations are solved before. This term can be treated explicitly ( $\tilde{C_i}=C_i^{n}$) or implicitly ( $\tilde{C_i}=C_i^{n+1}$)

Description of the directory

• variables.f90 defines scalar variables associated to the resolution of this equation (time step, schemes, etc.)
• fields.f90 defines field arrays of this equation (species concentration, diffusion coefficient, etc.)
• solve.f90 does the discretization of the equation and call the linear system solver to compute the solution. It is called in the time loop.
