On the Neumann problem for the pressure in a Navier-Stokes model
Abstract
The numerical solution of two dimensional viscous incompressible fluid flow is treated. As the transient pressure solution is required, the differential system is formulated in terms of primitive variables. The equation of motion is split into divergence free and curl free parts. The pressure is solved, using the marker and cell algorithm. The Neumann problem for the pressure must satisfy a Gauss theorem. Care has to be taken to fulfill this compatibility condition in discrete form. Results show that by using a regular grid this is not realized in general. Particular attention is paid to the treatment of boundary conditions on a space-staggered grid.
