Viscous Incompressible Flow

In the previous chapter, methods for incompressible viscous flow computation based on boundary layer model were discussed. In that model, the Navier-Stokes equations have been approximated using the boundary-layer theory of Prandtl (Prandtl, 1904; Schneider, 1978). Computation of fluid flow problems based on the complete Navier-Stokes equations (N-S Eqs.) is the subject matter of the present chapter and the next one. In the present chapter we assume the flow to be incompressible while the next chapter is devoted to compressible viscous flow. Computation of laminar flow has been discussed first. The latter sections briefly discuss methods for turbulent flow computation based on incompressible Reynolds averaged ...
