On some accuracy aspects in numerical solution of flow and heat transfer problems
Abstract
The problem of accuracy in numerical solution of flow and heat transfer problems is discussed. Finite difference methods are mainly considered. Special emphasis is given to the number of grid points and the number of significant figures in the calculated results. Treatment of the far field conditions in small Reynolds number flow around immersed bodies is discussed. Various aspects of boundary layer calculations are also presented and exemplified in a number of cases.
