چکیده
We the solvability of the two-dimensional stream function-vorticity formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. We use the time discretization and the method of characteristics order one for solving a quasi-Stokes system that we discretize by a piecewise continuous finite element method. A stabilization technique is used to overcome the loss of optimal error estimate. Finally a parallel numerical algorithm is presented and tested.

A comparative study between two numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations
The present study aimed to investigate two numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. For this purpose, the mentioned flow equations were written in two different formulations, namely (i) velocity-pressure and (ii) vorticity-stream function formulations. Solution algorithms and boundary conditions were presented for both formulations and the efficiency of each formulation was investiga...

The finite element solution of a generalized Stokes system in terms of the flow variables stream function and vorticity is studied. This system results from a time discretization of the time-dependent Stokes system in stream function-vorticity formulation, or yet by the application of the characteristics method to solve the Navier-Stokes equations in the same representation. Numerical results p...

Abstract : The meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method with unity as the weighting function has been applied to the solution of the Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The Navier-Stokes equations in terms of the stream function and vorticity formulation together with the energy equation are solved for a driven cavity flow for moderate Reynolds numbers using different point distributions.

Ahstract~~alculations for the two-dimensional driven cavity incompressible flow problem are presented. A p-type Jinite element scheme for the fully coupled stream function-vorticity formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations is used. Graded meshes are used to resolve vortex flow features and minimize the impact of comer singularities. Incremental continuation in the Reynolds number allows solut...
