Forms of the generalised Navier-Stokes equations (Q1072837)

We review the governing equations of fluid dynamics in general co- ordinates, and present forms particularly suitable for efficient numerical solution. Methods are given, both for compressible and incompressible flow, of eliminating explicit use of the connection coefficients and transformation matrix elements from the computations. Special problems associated with spatially varying viscosity and with eddy-viscosity turbulence models are also discussed.
