Presents different formulations of the equations governing incompressible viscous flows, in the form needed for developing numerical solution procedures. This book discusses the conditions required to satisfy the no-slip boundary conditions in the various formulations. For each formulation, it provides a statement of the mathematical problem.

This book presents different formulations of the equations governing incompressible viscous flows, in the form needed for developing numerical solution procedures. The conditions required to satisfy the no-slip boundary conditions in the various formulations are discussed in detail. Rather than focussing on a particular spatial discretization method, the text provides a unitary view of several methods currently in use for the numerical solution of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, using either finite differences, finite elements or spectral approximations. For each formulation, a...
