A finite volume method for steady state 2D shallow water flows

J.G. Zhou, I.M. Goodwill

Describes the solution of the shallow water flow equations in strongly conservative form using a finite volume method. A SIMPLE‐like scheme is developed to treat the velocity…

Numerical study of 2D and 3D flowfields in a high‐power pulsed chemical laser

J. Vuillon, D. Zeitoun

High‐power chemical lasers operating in high repetitive rate show a decrease of the output energy laser beam. In such lasers, the characteristic time which depends on the laser…

Asymptotic and numerical analysis of vertical, planar liquid sheets subject to London‐van der Waals forces

J.I. Ramos

Asymptotic methods are employed to derive the long wave equations governing the fluid dynamics of thin, time‐dependent, incompressible, vertical, planar liquid sheets at low…

A semi‐implicit scheme for the barotropic primitive equations of atmospheric dynamics

L. Bonaventura, V. Casulli

The primitive equations of a barotropic atmosphere in isobaric co‐ordinates are reformulated, in order to express the geopotential gradient as a function of the pressure at the…

A numerical study on heat transport in turbulent Couette flows in concentric annuli

Shuichi Torii, Wen‐Jei Yang

A numerical study is performed to investigate turbulent Couette flow and heat transfer characteristics in concentric annuli with a slightly heated inner cylinder moving in the…

Implementation of a free boundary condition to Navier‐Stokes equations

Morten M.T. Wang, Tony W.H. Sheu

Numerical simulation of a fluid flow involves the specification of boundary conditions along all or part of the boundary. Designs a means of handling outflow boundary conditions…
