โฆ Synopsis
A pressure correction procedure for general unstructured meshes is presented. It is a cell-centred, collocated finite volume method and the pressure-velocity coupling is treated using SIMPLEC. The cells can have an arbitrary number of grid points (cell vertices). In the present study the number of faces on the cells varies between three and six. The discretized equations are solved using either a symmetric Gauss-Seidel solver or a conjugate gradient solver with a preconditioner. The method is applied to three two-dimensional test cases in which the flow is incompressible and laminar. The extension to three dimensions as well as to turbulent flow using transport models is straightforward. It can also be extended to handle compressible flow.

## Abstract Capacitance methods are popular methods used for solidification modelling. Unfortunately, they suffer from a major drawback in that energy is not correctly transported through elements and so provides a source of inaccuracy. This paper is concerned with the development and application o
