SOLUTION OF INCOMPRESSIBLE NAVIER‐STOKES EQUATIONS ON UNSTRUCTURED GRIDS USING DUAL TESSELLATIONS

J.C. CAVENDISH, C.A. HALL, T.A. PORSCHING

We describe a novel mathematical approach to deriving and solving covolume models of the incompressible 2‐D Navier‐Stokes flow equations. The approach integrates three technical…

UNSTEADY NATURAL CONVECTION IN OPEN‐ENDED VERTICAL CONCENTRIC ANNULI

M.A.I. EL‐SHAARAWI, M.A. AL‐ATTAS

A finite‐difference scheme is developed for solving the boundary layer equations governing the unsteady laminar free convection flow in open ended vertical concentric annuli. The…

A TRANSIENT FINITE ELEMENT ADAPTATION SCHEME FOR THERMAL PROBLEMS WITH STEEP GRADIENTS

R. RAMAKRISHNAN, ALLAN R. WIETING, EARL A. THORNTON

An adaptive mesh refinement procedure that uses nodeless variables and quadratic interpolation functions is presented for analysing transient thermal problems. A temperature based…

A STUDY OF THE HYDROELASTIC STABILITY OF A COMPLIANT PANEL USING NUMERICAL METHODS

ANTHONY D. LUCEY, PETER W. CARPENTER

A numerical method is developed which can simulate the interaction between a finite compliant panel and an unsteady potential flow. A boundary‐element technique yields the flow…

MODELLING OF SURFACE WATER BEHAVIOUR ON ICE PROTECTED AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS

KAMEL M. AL‐KHALIL, THEO G. JR. KEITH, KENNETH J. DE WITT

A numerical solution for ‘running wet’ aircraft anti‐icing systems is developed. The model includes breakup of the water film, which exists in regions of direct impingement, into…
