An unconditionally stable method for air motion inside cylinders

Gerardo Abrugia, Umberto Amato

A mixed implicit semi Lagrangian finite difference‐finite volume method for numerical simulation of 2D air motion inside cylinders is derived and discussed. A conformal mapping…

A finite volume scheme for two‐dimensional chemically reactive hypersonic flow

Enrico Bertolazzi

A finite volume, semi‐implicit scheme, is proposed and discussed, which solves the two‐dimensional Euler equations for the hypersonic flow of a mixture of chemically reactive…

Numerical study of early stages of an impulsively started unsteady laminar flow past expanded trapezoidal cylinders

T.S. Lee

Characteristics of the development of an impulsively started flow around an expanded trapezoidal cylinder were studied numerically. A stream function‐vorticity formulation in a…

Transient analysis of LE‐VGF growth of compound semiconductors

Yasunori Okano, Susumu Sakai, Takahiro Morita, Jun Shimizu

A finite difference simulation for the bulk single crystal growth of indium phosphide by the liquid encapsulated vertical gradient freezing (LE‐VGF) method with a flat bottom…

Characteristic‐based‐split (CBS) algorithm for incompressible flow problems with heat transfer

N. Massarotti, P. Nithiarasu, O.C. Zienkiewicz

In our earlier papers we have presented a general algorithm for the solution of both compressible and incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations. The objective of the present work is…
