β¦ Synopsis
We consider a fourth-order, compact finite-difference method for the Navier-Stokes equations using the streamfunction-vorticity formulation. Various algebraic boundary formulas for vorticity are investigated including new implicit formulas of the third and fourth order. An algorithm for determination of pressure from a suitable Poisson equation is given. Results of various tests show that the error of the algorithm is proportional to (\mathrm{Re}^{2} \cdot h^{4}). Domain decomposition coupled with multiprocessing was investigated as a method for acceleration of computations. It is shown that the acceleration approaches the theoretical maximum.

Anisotropies occur naturally in computational fluid dynamics where the simulation of small-scale physical phenomena, such as boundary layers at high Reynolds numbers, causes the grid to be highly stretched, leading to a slowdown in convergence of multigrid methods. Several approaches aimed at making
This paper presents a finite volume fourth-order-accurate compact scheme for discretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in primitive variable formulation. The numerical method of integrating the Navier-Stokes equations comprises a compact finite volume formulation of the average co
