✦ Synopsis

A reduced form of Navier-Stokes equations is developed which does not have the usual minimum axial step size restriction. The equations are able to predict accurately turbulent swirling flow in diffusers. An efficient single sweep implicit scheme is developed in conjunction with a variable grid size domain-conforming co-ordinate system. The present scheme indicates good agreement with experimental results for (1) turbulent pipe flow, (2) turbulent diffuser flow, (3) turbulent swirling diffuser flow. The strong coupling between the swirl and the axial velocity profiles outside of the boundary layer region is demonstrated.

## Abstract This work reports numerical results for the case of incompressible laminar heated flow with a swirl in a vertical cylindrical chamber. Computations are obtained with a point‐wise block‐implicit scheme. Flow governing equations are written in terms of the so‐called primitive variables an
