An exponentially fitted finite volume method for the numerical solution of 2D unsteady incompressible flow problems (Q1339517): Difference between revisions

We develop and test an exponentially fitted finite volume method for the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations describing two- dimensional incompressible flows. The method is based on an unstructured Delaunay mesh and its dual Dirichlet tessellation, combined with a locally constant approximation to the flux. This yields a piecewise exponential approximation to the exact solution. Numerical tests are presented for a linear advection-diffusion problem with boundary layers. The method is then applied to the driven cavity problem with Reynolds numbers up to \(10^ 4\).
