This book is a guide to numerical methods for solving fluid dynamics problems. The most
widely used discretization and solution methods, which are also found in most commercial …

A non-iterative method for handling the coupling of the implicitly discretised time-dependent
fluid flow equations is described. The method is based on the use of pressure and velocity …

Variations of the SIMPLE method of Patankar and Spalding have been widely used over the
past decade to obtain numerical solutions to problems involving incompressible flows. The …

The purpose and organisation of this book are described in the preface to the first edition
(1988). In preparing this edition minor changes have been made, par ticularly to Chap. 1 …

Computational Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer, Fourth Edition is a fully updated version
of the classic text on finite-difference and finite-volume computational methods. Divided into …

There is a need for a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methodology, capable of predicting
the topology and effects of fluid/fluid interfaces, which can be used as a design tool. This …

The PISO algorithm, which is presented in a companion paper, is a non-iterative method for
solving the implicity discretised, time-dependent, fluid flow equations. The algorithm is here …

A calculation procedure for rapid computation of steady multidimensional viscous flows is
presented. The method solves the Navier-Stokes equations in primitive variables using a …

A calculation method based on the control-volume approach has been developed for
solving two-dimensional elliptic problems involving fluid flow and heat and mass transfer …

The performance of the PISO, SIMPLER, and SIMPLEC algorithms for the treatment of the
pressure-velocity coupling in steady flow problems is examined by comparing the …
