Abstract
An algorithm for the solution of the
incompressible time dependent Navier-Stokes
equations is presented here. The above algorithm
is based on the extended Flux Vector Splitting
method for solving incompressible flow
fields. This extension is obtained by the method
of artificial compressibility, where an
artificial time derivative is added to the
continuity equation. The incompressible equations
take on thereby an hyperbolic character with
pseudo-pressures waves propagating with finite
speed. In such type of problems the
"informations" inside the field are transmitted
along its characteristic curves-In this sense we
can use upwind schemes to represent the finite
difference scheme of the problem's governing
equations-The FVS algorithm for incompressible
flows uses up to fourth order upwind scheme for
the convective terms and the second order
central difference for the viscous terms.
