چکیده

We introduce a finite volume scheme for the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We use a triangular mesh. The unknowns for the velocity and pressure are respectively piecewise constant and affine. We use a projection method to deal with the incompressibility constraint. We show that the differential operators in the Navier-Stokes equations and their discrete counterparts share similar properties. In particular we state an inf-sup (Babuška-Brezzi) condition. Using these properties we infer the stability of the scheme. Résumé. Nous introduisons ici un schéma volumes finis pour les équations de Navier-Stokes incompressibles en deux dimensions. Les maillages considérés sont formés de triangles. Les inconnues associées à la vitesse et la pression sont respectivement constantes et affines par morceaux. Nous utilisons une méthode de projection pour traiter la contrainte d’incompressibilité. Nous vérifions que les opérateurs différentiels apparaissant dans les équations de Navier-Stokes et leurs analogues discrets vérifient des propriétés similaires. Nous prouvons en particulier une condition inf-sup. Nous en déduisons la stabilité du schéma. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. 76D05, 74S10, 65M12. Received: 13 august 2007.

Convergence of a finite volume scheme for the incompressible fluids

We consider a finite volume scheme for the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We use a triangular mesh. The unknowns for the velocity and pressure are respectively piecewise constant and affine. We use a projection method to deal with the incompressibility constraint. The stability of the scheme has been proven in [15]. We infer from it its convergence. Mathematics Subject ...

A Composite Finite Difference Scheme for Subsonic Transonic Flows (RESEARCH NOTE).

This paper presents a simple and computationally-efficient algorithm for solving steady two-dimensional subsonic and transonic compressible flow over an airfoil. This work uses an interactive viscous-inviscid solution by incorporating the viscous effects in a thin shear-layer. Boundary-layer approximation reduces the Navier-Stokes equations to a parabolic set of coupled, non-linear partial diff...

Finite Volume Solution of a Cylinder in Cross Flow with Heat Transfer

A finite-volume model has been developed to study incompressible forced flow heat transfer of air over a circular cylinder in cross flow. An artificial compressibility technique is applied to couple the continuity to the momentum equations. The proposed explicit finite-volume method (FVM) uses a novel discretization in time and space. The governing equations are solved by time-marching using a ...

A Characteristic-based Solution of Forced and Free Convection in Closed Domains with Emphasis on Various Fluids

In this paper, forced and free convection in the cavity is simulated numerically with complex boundary conditions. Temperature changes sinusoidally at the upper and right walls and the temperature of the other walls is kept at zero. The effects of Prandtl and Grashof numbers variations on flow patterns are surveyed. A wide range of materials, e.g. molten metals, gases, water, and coolant liquid...
