A vorticity method for the solution of natural convection flows in enclosures

Marc S. Ingber

Vorticity formulations for the incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations have certain advantages over primitive‐variable formulations including the fact that the number of equations…

Modeling of cavitating or ventilated flows using BEM

Spyros A. Kinnas, Yin L. Young

Boundary element method (BEM) techniques for the prediction of cavitating or ventilated flows around hydrofoils and propeller are summarized. Classical, supercavitating, and…

Simulation of viscous 2D‐planar cylindrical geometry deformation using DR‐BEM

J.P. Hernandez, T.A. Osswald, D.A. Weiss

In this paper, a novel boundary element formulation for the deformation of a viscous 2D‐planar cylindrical geometry, immersed in a different viscous fluid and moving towards a…

Natural convection flows in complex cavities by BEM

L. Škerget, M. Hriberšek, Z. Žunič

A numerical method for the solution of the Navier‐Stokes equations is developed using an integral representation of the conservation equations. The velocity‐vorticity formulation…

Multi‐domain DRM boundary element method for non‐isothermal non‐Newtonian Stokes flow with viscous dissipation

W. Florez, H. Power, F. Chejne

This paper presents a boundary element method (BEM) based on a subdomain approach for the solution of non‐Newtonian fluid flow problems which include thermal effects and viscous…

A hybrid spectral/boundary‐integral approach for transient viscoelastic flow exiting a channel

R.E. Khayat, N. Ashrafi

A hybrid spectral/boundary element approach is proposed to examine the influence of Couette channel flow on transient coating of highly elastic fluids. The viscoelastic…

The fluid flow due to two submerged sinks in a two layer stratified fluid

X. Wen, K. Manik

A boundary integral technique is developed to study the free surface flow of a steady, two‐dimensional, incompressible, irrotational and inviscid fluid flow which is produced by…
