Integral transformation of elliptic problems within irregular domains: Fully developed channel flow

Fausto A.A. Barbuto, Renato Machado Cotta

Employs the integral transform method in the hybrid numerical‐analytical solution of fully developed laminar flow within a class of irregularly shaped ducts, with respect to the…

Short communication: Comments on a recent paper dealing with the finite‐analytic method

J.I. Ramos, C.M. García‐López

Refers to Montgomery and Fleeter (1996) who employed the finite‐analytic method of Chen et al. (1980) to study steady, two‐dimensional, inviscid, compressible, subsonic flow in a…

Numerical investigation of the propagation of shock waves in rigid porous materials: Solution of the Riemann problem

G. Ben‐Dor, A. Levy, S. Sorek

Presents a numerical solution to the Riemann problem inside a porous material using a TVD‐ based computer code which was developed during the investigation of the head‐on…

Multi‐dimensional monotone flux discretization scheme for convection dominated flows

W.H. Sheu, Shi‐Min Lee, M.T. Wang

Deals with the non‐stationary pure convection equation in two dimensions. An attribute of the method is that the advective fluxes are approximated by taking the flow orientations…

Three‐dimensional pulsatile flow through a bifurcation

Chain‐Nan Yung, Kenneth J. De Witt, Srikanth Subramanian, Abdollah A. Afjeh, Theo G. Keith

Pulsatile flow of an incompressible, Newtonian fluid through a symmetric bifurcated rigid channel was numerically analysed by solving the three‐dimensional Navier‐Stokes…

A generalized two‐cycle componentwise splitting method for solving three‐dimensional parabolic differential equations with variable coefficients on multilayers

W. Dai, R. Nassar

Describes a generalized two‐cycle componentwise splitting method for solving three‐dimensional parabolic differential equations with variable coefficients which has been developed…

Parallel adaptive finite element analysis of viscous flows based on a combined compressible‐incompressible formulation

Dan Givoli, Joseph E. Flaherty, Mark S. Shephard

Describes a new finite element scheme for the large‐scale analysis of compressible and incompressible viscous flows. The scheme is based on a combined compressible‐ incompressible…
