✦ Synopsis

This article presents the effect of the grid skewness on the ranges of the underrelaxation factors for pressure and velocity. The effect is reflected by the relationship between the numbers of iterations required and the ranges of the underrelaxation factors for a converged solution. Four typical cavity flow problems are solved on non-staggered grids for this purpose. Two momentum interpolation practices namely, practice A and practice B, together with SIMPLE, SIMPLEC and SIMPLER algorithms are employed. The results show that the ranges of the pressure underrelaxation factor values for convergence exist if the SIMPLE algorithm is used, while no restrictions are observed if the SIMPLEC algorithm is used. From the curves obtained using the SIMPLER algorithm, the ranges of those based on practice B are wider than those based on practice A.

A novel interpretation of the momentum interpolation method (MIM) is presented in this paper. A revised method using quadratic interpolating polynomials for the calculation of the cell-face velocities is proposed. The performance of the proposed method (referred to as QMIM) is examined and its appli

This paper is concerned with the numerical resolution of the incompressible Navier -Stokes equations in the velocity-vorticity form on non-orthogonal structured grids. The discretization is performed in such a way, that the discrete operators mimic the properties of the continuous ones. This allows
