Room 246
The main goal of this lecture is to discuss the numerical solution of the Navier Stokes equations modeling the flow of incompressible viscous fluids. The methodology combine: a) time discretization by a second order symmetrized operator-splitting method; b) efficient Stokes solvers to handle the incompressibility condition; c) a second order in time wave equation formulation of the advection well suited to explicit time-stepping methods; and d) a stiff A-stable nearly third order accurate Runge-Kutta method to treat the diffusion.
The speaker will discuss an alternative solution method based on the stream function-vorticity formulation, and present the result of numerical experiments for two and three-dimensional fluid flow.
