Use of Staggered and Nonstaggered Grid Arrangements for Incompressible Flow Calculations on Nonorthogonal Grids

A Calculation Procedure for Solution of Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations on Curvilinear Non Staggered Grids

“…This deviation is more for e v Lˆ0.652. [13], Kobayashi and Pereira [17], Choi et al [18], and Date [19] solved the same problem, using 32£22, 31£21, and 51£31 numerical grids, respectively. Their results also show similar departures near yˆ0 at the inner cylinder.…”

Systematic Comparison of Finite-Volume Calculation Methods With Staggered and Nonstaggered Grid Arrangements

“…In a companion article, [1], the use of staggered and nonstaggered grid arrangements for incompressible flow calculations on nonorthogonal grids is discussed in detail. Two finite-volume calculation procedures, one based on the staggered grid method by Maliska and Raithby [2] and the other based on the nonstaggered grid method by Rhie and Chow [3], are presented with some test results.…”

Comparative Study of the Accuracy of the Fundamental Mesh Structures for the Numerical Solution of Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations in the Two-Dimensional Cavity Problem

“…Collocated meshes are known to generate spatially oscillating, checkerboard-like pressure fields, which can be eliminated through the so-called momentum interpolation, due to Rhie and Chow [23], by which continuity is no longer satisfied in its discretized form, but only in the limit of refinement, according to the order of the scheme. Despite the oscillating pressure field or, alternatively, the nonconservation of mass in the discrete sense, studies [4,[24][25][26][27] indicate that the accuracy of the velocity field, the stability, and the convergence characteristics of the cell-center collocated meshes are comparable to those of the staggered mesh.…”
