Discrete pressure equations in incompressible flow problems

  • 447 Accesses

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 909)

Abstract

Consistent integration of flow divergence and pressure gradient terms over interlocking mesh boxes preserves properties that enhance stability and convergence of discretized Navier-Stokes equations over regions partitioned with isoparametric quadrilaterals.
