Abstract
The convergence properties of several nonβlinear solution procedures were examined with respect to the accelerated flow of a fluid in a converging channel (the Hamel problem), using two different finite element computer programs with different elemental construction. The Reynolds number varied from that for creeping flow to 1088 without exceeding the radius of convergence. Special attention was given to the successive substitution and NewtonβRaphson solution algorithms, with a significant advantage in rate of convergence noted for the latter.

## Abstract A curved cubic triangular element which has as nodal parameters the value of the function and its two derivatives is derived by use of a transformation similar to that used for quadrilateral isoparametric elements. A special form of the element which may be used to satisfy the condition
A finite element, thermally coupled incompressible flow formulation considering phase-change effects is presented. This formulation accounts for natural convection, temperature-dependent material properties and isothermal and non-isothermal phase-change models. In this context, the full Navier -Stok
