A Method of Solving Compressible Navier Stokes Equations in Cylindrical Coordinates Using Geometric Algebra

摘要

A method of solution to solve the compressible unsteady 3D Navier-Stokes Equations in cylindrical co-ordinates coupled to the continuity equation in cylindrical coordinates is presented in terms of an additive solution of the three principle directions in the radial, azimuthal and z directions of flow. A dimensionless parameter is introduced whereby in the large limit case a method of solution is sought for in the tube. A reduction to a single partial differential equation is possible and integral calculus methods are applied for the case of a body force in the direction of gravity to obtain an integral form of the Hunter-Saxton equation.
