We show that a non-physical velocity may appear in the numerical computation of the ยฏow of an incompressible ยฏuid subjected to external forces. A distorted mesh and the use of a numerical method which does not rigorously ensure the incompressibility condition turn out to be responsible for this phen

A spatial discretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is presented in which the velocity is decomposed using poloidal and toroidal scalars whose spatial dependence is given in terms of spherical harmonics and Chebychev polynomials. The radial resolution needs to be large enough at an
Classical semi-implicit backward Euler/Adams-Bashforth time discretizations of the Navier-Stokes equations induce, for high-Reynolds number flows, severe restrictions on the time step. Such restrictions can be relaxed by using semi-Lagrangian schemes essentially based on splitting the full problem i
A method of linearisation is described which enables the calculation of the steady state flow in networks of pipes and pumps handling an incompressible fluid. In an Appendix a numerical method is outlined for the repeated solution of large sparse sets of linear equations.
