✦ Synopsis

A new numerical method is developed to efficiently solve the unsteady incompressible Navier -Stokes equations with second-order accuracy in time and space. In contrast to the SIMPLE algorithms, the present formulation directly solves the discrete x-and y-momentum equations in a coupled form. It is found that the present implicit formulation retrieves some cross convection terms overlooked by the conventional iterative methods, which contribute to accuracy and fast convergence. The finite volume method is applied on the fully staggered grid to solve the vector-form momentum equations. The preconditioned conjugate gradient squared method (PCGS) has proved very efficient in solving the associate linearized large, sparse block-matrix system. Comparison with the SIMPLE algorithm has indicated that the present momentum coupling method is fast and robust in solving unsteady as well as steady viscous flow problems.

The accuracy of colocated finite volume schemes for the incompressible Navier -Stokes equations on non-smooth curvilinear grids is investigated. A frequently used scheme is found to be quite inaccurate on non-smooth grids. In an attempt to improve the accuracy on such grids, three other schemes are

Our work is an extension of the previously proposed multivariant element. We assign this re®ned element as a compact mixed-order element in the sense that use of this element offers a much smaller bandwidth. The analysis is implemented on quadratic hexahedral elements with a view to analysing a thre
