Abstract
The Navier-Stokes equations for three-dimensional, unsteady, and incompressible flows are solved numerically. The applied method is based on the concept of artificial compressibility, combined with a dual-time stepping scheme. The solution within each physical time step is carried out with both an implicit and explicit scheme with possible multi-grid acceleration. The algorithm is formulated for a non-staggered, node-centered, curvilinear, block-structured grid, enabling the simulation of flows in complex geometries. Results are presented and compared with each other for the flow around a circular cylinder mounted in a square duct. For the flow in a 90°-T-junction results are compared to experimental flow visualization.
