Implicit weighted ENO schemes for the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations (Q1275187)

We present a class of lower-upper approximate-factorization implicit weighted essentially nonoscillatory (ENO) schemes for solving the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in generalized coordinate system. The algorithm is based on the artificial compressibility formulation, and symmetric Gauss-Seidel relaxation is used for computing steady-state solutions. Weighted essentially nonoscillatory spatial operators are employed for inviscid fluxes, and fourth-order central differencing is used for viscous fluxes. Two viscous flow test problems, laminar entry flow through a \(90^\circ\) bent square duct and three-dimensional driven square cavity flow, are presented to verify the numerical schemes. \(\copyright\) Academic Press.
