Discretization and Solution Techniques for Navier-Stokes and Transonic Flow Problems.

Abstract

The major thrust of the research undertaken was to find the most efficient methods for solving viscous flow problems governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. Both external flows past obstacles and internal flows in tanks and channels were investigated. Two aspects in particular have been studied most thoroughly. These are the finite-element discretization of the flow equations and the implementation aspects involving most effective use of hardware in order to obtain small solution times.
