Abstract:A numerical algorithm is presented for the solution of low Mach number unsteady nonisothermal flows at moderate Reynolds numbers (Re $ 100) with variable transport properties. The low Mach number limit is approached by using a relaxation method of the pseudo-compressibility type that has proved to be numerically robust and accurate enough to be used in industrial applications. Time integration is explicit and space integration is based on a finite point approach. Solver validation includes a sensitivity analys… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
