more tr . and *h*. We observe that the control volumes for w and v are different from the scalar control volumes and different from each other. The scalar control volumes are Sometimes referred to as the pressure contro! volumes because, as we shall see laser, the discretised continuity equation is turmed into a pressure correction equation, which is evaluated on scalar control volumes. In the staggered grid arrangement, the pressure nodes comede with the cell faces of the u-control volume. The pressure gradient term dp/dx is given by Sp _pr-pw ix” ke, (6.6) where dx, is the width of the w-control volume. Similarly Op/Oy for the v-contral volume shown is given by Op _ pr —Ps = (6.7 a | where dy, is width of the contra! volume. If we consider the ‘checker-board" pressure ficld again, substitution of the ‘appropriate nodal pressure values into equavons (6.6) and (6,7) now yields very ‘significant non-zero pressure gradient terms. The staggering of the velocity avoids the unrealistic behaviour of the discretised momentum equation for spatiaily RO od Oa *% dw @ 4 Ar c etme) ( 31 Ge ried Oy oO We a Seas etre hahah areata har a om sok th telat he tdathes Riles es) a.) @estiat 7 a cry Pi ae Rad i cca He 85 Rn # 8 Ct ie io Y yes i 2 mY.
