Comparison of SIMPLE- and PISO-type algorithms for transient flows

TL;DR: In this paper, various pressure-based schemes are proposed for transient flows based on well-established SIMPLE and PISO algorithms, and the implicit treatment and the performance of the various schemes are evaluated by using benchmark solutions with a small time step.

A new stability-guaranteed second-order difference scheme

TL;DR: A new stability-guaranteed second-order difference (SGSD) scheme is proposed whose merits are absolutely stable and adaptive and its numerical accuracy is at least no less than that of the central difference (CD) and second- order upwind difference (SUD) schemes and sometimes higher than thatof the QUICK scheme.

Combined Heat Transfer and Fluid Dynamic Measurements Downstream of a Backward-Facing Step

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combined heat transfer and fluid dynamic measurements in a separated and reattaching boundary layer, with emphasis on the near-wall region, to obtain Stanton number profiles as a function of Reynolds number and boundary layer thickness at separation.

Relation between the points of flow reattachment and maximum heat transfer for regions of flow separation

TL;DR: In this article, the Nusselt number within and just downstream of a region of flow separation displays a maximum whose location, relative to the point of reattachment of the flow, was investigated.
