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 spatiailyRO
