Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If viscosity term numerical solutions based on hydrodynamic equations are used, then the simulation accuracy of viscous fluid behavior is improved, but the computational complexity increases and simulation efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the viscosity constraint from the complex hydrodynamic equations and formulates it as a separate yield criterion condition. By isolating the viscosity term as an independent constraint that can be applied after velocity calculation, the method maintains simulation accuracy while reducing computational complexity and improving efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The simulation process is segmented into distinct steps: first calculating velocity based on hydrodynamic equations, then separately applying viscosity constraints through yield criterion. This segmentation allows each step to be optimized independently, improving overall computational efficiency while maintaining accuracy.
2Productivity
If geometric modeling constraints are applied to simulate viscous behavior, then the computational efficiency is improved, but the simulation accuracy and physical fidelity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter representation by introducing yield criterion conditions that directly enforce physical viscosity constraints on velocity and position. Instead of using geometric constraints alone, the method transforms geometric constraints into physically meaningful parameter constraints that maintain both efficiency and accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The yield criterion acts as an intermediary between geometric constraints and physical viscosity behavior. It translates geometric modeling constraints into physically accurate viscous fluid behavior by enforcing stress-based conditions that mediate between simple geometric limits and complex hydrodynamic accuracy.
3Measurement precision
If temperature attributes are included in viscous fluid simulation, then the physical accuracy of temperature-sensitive fluids is improved, but the computational complexity and model difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges temperature simulation with the existing yield criterion constraint framework by integrating heat conduction equations into the same computational structure. Temperature is calculated alongside velocity and position using similar constraint-based methods, allowing thermal effects to be incorporated without creating a separate complex model.
