In this section, the basic flow equations are presented, together with the extensions to the basic finite volume discretization methods that enable the application of these methods to the equations. These methods include the coupling between the continuity and momentum equations.
The methods used are based on a large body of work by Peric, Demirdzic and colleagues (see, for example, [9], [10] and [14], and the book by Ferziger and Peric [11]) and on two papers by Mathur and Murthy (see [12] and[13]).
First, the governing equations in continuous integral form and Viscous fluxes are presented. Then the discretization practices are described, including:
The SIMPLE algorithm is also summarized, and finally, the nomenclature and bibliography are presented.
