Assignment 2
Applying Finite Volume Method (Pressure-Velocity Coupling Schemes) on a 2-D
Computational Domain
2-D Computational Domain
Steady, 2-dimensional, incompressible, laminar flow between two stationary plates (internal
flow)
A, Tracking the Progress of u,v, p, p’ and mass residual during Iterative Process
Use the computational domain (on x-y plane) of two stationary parallel plates with distance
between 2 plates, H= 0.1 mand length of the plates, = 1.0 mas in Assignment 1.
Flow Properties
Fluid: Air density, p= 1.2 kg/m3)
Inlet uniform flow velocity of U= 0.01 m/s in horizontal x-direction.
Dynamic viscosity ¢= 4x 10° kg/(ms)
Computational Requirements
Initial guess values: p* = 0, u* = 0, v* = 0
Iteration is done at the centre of the channel
Maximum iterations: 30
Choice of Pressure-Velocity Coupling Schemes
a) SIMPLE scheme
b) SIMPLEC scheme
Results
Tracking convergence history of variables (u, p, p’ and mass residual)
Perform xyplot of the variables (u, p, p' and mass residual) against iterations for both schemes.
