The paper considers the problem of laminar incompressible viscous flow through a wavy channel. An artificial compressibility method using the approximate factorization technique is applied to solve the velocity-pressure formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations written in curvilinear non-orthogonal

Abstract
A three‐dimensional (3‐D) numerical method for solving the Navier–Stokes equations with a standard k–ε turbulence model is presented. In order to couple pressure with velocity directly, the pressure is divided into hydrostatic and hydrodynamic parts and the artificial compressibility method (ACM) is employed for the hydrodynamic pressure. By introducing a pseudo‐time derivative of the hydrodynamic pressure into the continuity equation, the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations are changed from elliptic‐parabolic to hyperbolic‐parabolic equations. In this paper, a third‐order monotone upstream‐centred scheme for conservation laws (MUSCL) method is used for the hyperbolic equations. A system of discrete equations is solved implicitly using the lower–upper symmetric Gauss–Seidel (LU‐SGS) method. This newly developed numerical method is validated against experimental data with good agreement. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This paper compares in detail the lattice Boltzmann method and an isothermal Navier-Stokes method. It is found that these two methods are closely related to each other. Both methods satisfy similar macroscopic governing equations in their continuous forms, but they differ from each other in their di
