✦ Synopsis
An enhanced solution strategy based on the SIMPLER algorithm is presented for low-Peclet-number mass transport calculations with applications in low-pressure material processing. The accurate solution of highly diffusive ¯ows requires boundary conditions that preserve speci®ed chemical species mass ¯uxes. The implementation of such boundary conditions in the standard SIMPLER solution procedure leads to degraded convergence that scales with the Peclet number. Modi®cations to both the non-linear and linear parts of the solution algorithm remove the slow convergence problem. In particular, the linearized species transport equations must be implicitly coupled to the boundary condition equations and the combined system must be solved exactly at each non-linear iteration. The pressure correction boundary conditions are reformulated to ensure that continuity is preserved in each ®nite volume at each iteration. The boundary condition scaling problem is demonstrated with a simple linear model problem. The enhanced solution strategy is implemented in a baseline computer code that is used to solve the multicomponent Navier±Stokes equations on a generalized, multiple-block grid system. Accelerated convergence rates are demonstrated for several material-processing example problems.
