Abstract

The authors suggest a version of the control-volume technique that uses a single common grid at whose points velocity components and other dependent variables are calculated. It is shown that the suggested rocedure does not admit perception of a “checkered” pressure field as homogeneous. It is noted that this rocedure can be used most efficiently in solving problems that are characterized by a complicated shape of he region of calculation. Results of solving two problems obtained by means of software pakages that use the uggested procedure are presented.
