PISO Algorithm

The document describes the PISO algorithm for solving pressure-velocity coupling problems in computational fluid dynamics. It involves a predictor step to make an initial pressure and velocity guess, followed by two corrector steps. The first corrector step solves for an updated pressure and velocity field. The second corrector step solves the pressure correction equation again to get a twice-corrected pressure, velocity, and satisfaction of the continuity equation. The PISO algorithm thus extends the SIMPLE algorithm by adding an additional corrector step for improved accuracy.

PISO Algorithm

Background
what is the Pressure Velocity Coupling?

when dealing with mass, momentum, and energy equations, there isn't a direct
way to measure pressure. So, we use the Navier-Stokes equation to make a guess
about pressure, but this guess doesn't satisfy the continuity equation. This
problem is called pressure - velocity coupling.
Our goal is to find the correct values for pressure and velocity that satisfy the
continuity equation. To do this, we use a method called a pressure-velocity
algorithm, with three different approaches: simple, simplec, and piso. These
methods differ in the number of correction equations they use and the number of
characteristics.
PISO ALGORITHM
For incompressible flows, there is a pressure-velociy coupling problems.

There are 4 equations and 4 unknowns. continuity equation and 4


momentum equations.
Before going to calculation we also need to know discretize momentum
equation.
Pressure Implicit with Splitting of Operators if not PISO algorithm,
is a pressure–velocity calculation procedure developed originally for
non-iterative computation of unsteady compressible flows. It has been
adapted successfully for the iterative solution of steady state problems.
PISO involves one predictor step and two corrector steps and may be
seen as an extension of SIMPLE, with a further corrector step to
enhance it.

01. Predictor Step

Discretised momentum equations are solved with a guessed or intermediate


pressure field p* to give velocity components u* and v*.
02. Corrector Step- I
The u* and v* fields will not satisfy continuity unless the pressure
field p* is correct.
In SIMPLE method these corrected value satisfy the Discretized
velocity equation.
But in the PISO method case they are using slightly different
notations for velocity correction equations, because there is a
further correction step than SIMPLE algorithm.
p** = p* + p′
u** = u* + u′
v** = v* + v′
Previous formulae are used to define corrected velocities u** and v**:

When above velocity values are substituted to discretized continuity


equation, in PISO algorithm it is called as first pressure correction
equation.
03. Corrector Step- II
Secondary corrected velocities:

A twice-corrected velocity field (u***, v***) may be obtained by


solving the momentum equations once more:
Second pressure Correction can be denoted as;

p*** = p** + p″

Substitution of u*** and v*** in the discretised continuity equation


yields a second pressure correction equation
Neighbor coefficients of above equation can be determined as follows;

After determining, derivation and substituting to the continuity equations above


values, we can obtain the twice corrected pressure value as below;

p*** = p** + p″ = p* + p′ + p″
According to previous equations and simplifications, finally PISO algorithm otherwise
non- iterative method gives us the corrected value for p,u and v as p***, ,u*** and
v***.
The PISO Algorithm process summary shown below;
OVERVIEW

The PISO algorithm solves the pressure correction equation twice so the
method requires additional storage for calculating the source term of
the second pressure correction equation.
PISO algorithm is somewhat lengthier than other processes, but it is
very fast and efficient.
The PISO algorithm presented above is the adapted, steady state version
of an algorithm that was originally developed for non-iterative time
dependent calculations.
