A calculation procedure for heat, mass and momentum transfer in three-dimensional parabolic flows

S.V. Patankar, +1 more
- 01 Oct 1972 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a general, numerical, marching procedure is presented for the calculation of the transport processes in three-dimensional flows characterised by the presence of one coordinate in which physical influences are exerted in only one direction.

Solution of the implicitly discretised reacting flow equations by operator-splitting

R. I. Issa, +3 more
- 01 Jan 1986 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a non-iterative method for handling the coupling of the implicitly discretised time-dependent fluid flow equations is described, based on the use of pressure and velocity as dependent variables and is hence applicable to both the compressible and incompressible versions of the transport equations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancements of the simple method for predicting incompressible fluid flows

J. P. Van Doormaal, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1984 - 
TL;DR: The performances of SIMPLE, SIMPLER, and SIMPLEC are compared for two recirculating flow problems and several modifications to the method are shown which both simplify its implementation and reduce solution costs.

Numerical analysis of breaking waves using the moving particle semi-implicit method

Seiichi Koshizuka, +2 more
- 15 Apr 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) algorithm is used for two-dimensional incompressible non-viscous flow analysis and two types of breaking waves, plunging and spilling breakers, are observed in the calculation results.

SOLA: a numerical solution algorithm for transient fluid flows

C.W. Hirt, +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a finite difference technique is presented for solving the Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible fluid, based on the Marker-and-Cell method, to facilitate its use by persons with little or no experience in numerical fluid dynamics.
