Abstract

A one‐dimensional transport test applied to some conventional advective Eulerian schemes shows that linear stability analyses do not guarantee the actual performances of these schemes. When adopting the Lagrangian approach, the main problem raised in the numerical treatment of advective terms is a problem of interpolation or restitution of the transported function shape from discrete data. Several interpolation methods are tested. Some of them give excellent results and these methods are then extended to multi‐dimensional cases.

The Lagrangian formulation of the advection term permits an easy solution to the Navier‐Stokes equations in primitive variables V, p, by a finite difference scheme, explicit in advection and implicit in diffusion.

As an illustration steady state laminar flow behind a sudden enlargement is analysed using an upwind differencing scheme and a Lagrangian scheme. The importance of the choice of the advective scheme in computer programs for industrial application is clearly apparent in this example.

The solution of the full non-linear set of discrete fluid flow equations is usually obtained by solving a sequence of linear equations. The type of linearization used can significantly affect the rate of convergence of the sequence to the final solution. The first objective of the present study was
