Computation of two-dimensional elliptic flows, including heat transfer
Abstract
A general finite-difference method for solving steady two-dimensional flows is described. The hydrodynamic variables solved are the component velocities and the pressure; an upwind-difference scheme is used. The method is based on the SIMPLE pressure correction technique of Patankar and Spalding (1972), but differs from SIMPLE in the way the finite difference equations are solved. Results of computation are presented for flow in a cavity, flow through a sudden enlargement, and heat transfer in a cavity with a prescribed flow field.
