Numerical Solution of the Azimuthal-Invariant Thin-Layer Navier-Stokes Equations
Abstract
A numerical procedure is developed for a two-dimensional azimuthal (or planar) invariant form of the thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations. The governing equations are generalized over the usual two-dimensional and axisymmetric formulations by allowing non-zero velocity components in the azimuthal direction. The equations are solved with an implicit approximate factorization finite-difference scheme. Inviscid and viscous results are presented for both external and internal flows, for spinning and non-spinning bodies.
