A pressure-based composite grid method for the Navier--Stokes equations (Q686587): Difference between revisions

A pressure-based composite grid method is developed for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on domains composed of an arbitrary number of overlain grid blocks, where a conservative internal boundary scheme is devised to ensure that global conservation is maintained. An organizational scheme is developed in order to provide a general and more flexible means for handling arbitrarily overlain grid blocks. Applications of the composite grid method to various model problems with complex geometry are used to illustrate the characteristics of the present procedure.
