Upwind compact method and direct numerical simulation of driven flow in a square cavity (Q1312976)

A high-order accurate finite-difference scheme, the upwind compact method, is proposed. The two-dimensional unsteady incompressible Navier- Stokes equations are solved in primitive variables. The nonlinear convection terms in the governing equations are approximated by using upwind biased compact difference, and other spatial derivative terms are discretized by using the fourth-order compact difference.
