Finite element methods for Navier-Stokes equations
Abstract
The approximation of incompressible, viscous, Newtonian fluids governed by Navier Stokes equations are considered. The upwinding techniques in finite elements are reviewed and the various formulations available to deal with the incompressibility conditions are presented. The different techniques related to automatic mesh generation and solution of systems of linear or nonlinear equations are surveyed.
