PRESSURE BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW USING UNSTRUCTURED MESHES

摘要

This article presents a numerical method for computing incompressible flows with given pressure boundary conditions. Unstructured meshes composed of arbitrary polyhedra are considered in a cell-centered, co-located pressure-velocity formulation. The SIMPLE algorithm of Patankar and Spalding is extended to develop correction equations for boundary static pressure and boundary mass flux through an added-dissipation scheme. The procedure is validated against published benchmarks and shown to perform satisfactorily. [References: 10]
