Fully Conservative Higher Order Finite Difference Schemes for Incompressible Flow

Conservation properties of the mass, momentum, and kinetic energy equations for incompressible flow are specified as analytical requirements for a proper set of discrete equations. Existing finite difference schemes in regular and staggered grid systems are checked for violations of the conservation requirements and a few important discrepancies are pointed out. In particular, it is found that ...

Finite-difference methods for simulation models incorporating non-conservative forces

We discuss algorithms applicable to the numerical solution of second-order ordinary differential equations by finite-differences. We make particular reference to the solution of the dissipative particle dynamics fluid model, and present extensive results comparing one of the algorithms discussed with the standard method of solution. These results show the successful modeling of phase separation...

Fully conservative finite difference scheme in cylindrical coordinates for incompressible flow simulations

A new finite difference scheme on a non-uniform staggered grid in cylindrical coordinates is proposed for incompressible flow. The scheme conserves both momentum and kinetic energy for inviscid flow with the exception of the time marching error, provided that the discrete continuity equation is satisfied. A novel pole treatment is also introduced, where a discrete radial momentum equation with ...

Multiplicative Finite Difference Methods

Based on multiplicative calculus, the finite difference schemes for the numerical solution of multiplicative differential equations and Volterra differential equations are presented. Sample problems were solved using these new approaches.
