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 f

โฆ Synopsis
The solution of the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes on a collocated grid is investigated. A consistent formulation to construct the Laplacian in the pressure equation is developed. It is shown that within this framework, Laplacians with different characteristics can be constructed, which can be made to satisfy discrete continuity and considerably reduce pressure oscillations. A third-order forward-biased approximation for the gradient operator of pressure works very well in completely eliminating pressure oscillations in a lid-driven cavity flow test problem.
