An implicit non-staggered Cartesian grid method for incompressible viscous flows in complex geometries. (English) Zbl 1322.76043

Summary: A discrete forcing based Cartesian grid method is presented. The nonstaggered arrangement of velocity and pressure is considered. The pressure gradient in localized discrete form is added separately with the velocity making them explicitly coupled. The governing equation is time-integrated implicitly with both linearized and non-linear forms are investigated. Both linear and bi-linear reconstruction techniques are tested for extrapolation of velocity near a complex boundary. The present method is tested for vortical flow in an inclined cavity, flow past circular and inclined square cylinder. Both homogeneous and non-homogeneous Dirichlet forcing problems are tested. The parallelized version of the method is applied to 2D-to-3D transitional flow behind a single and multiple circular cylinders. The present numerical results compare well with the previously documented results.
