3 Features of a basic numerical approach
-
Bernard J. Geurts
Abstract
We formulate the basic numerical approach to simulate the Navier-Stokes equations, both for compressible as well as incompressible fluids. We present two different numerical representations of the solution that both give rise to large systems of ordinary differential equations. In particular, we consider the method of lines to obtain a discretization that can directly comply with the main conservation properties of the Navier-Stokes equations. Moreover, we consider finite element discretization. We also describe and illustrate the main aspects that influence the quality of a numerical solution, such as the order of accuracy of the scheme, stability and convergence. Finally, we turn to computational characteristics of the discrete problem and present global templates within which compressible and incompressible flow solvers can be formulated.
