摘要
In this paper, an unstructured, collocated finite volume method for solvingthe Navier-Stokes equations was developed by virtue of auxiliary points. The derivatives weredetermined by the Gauss theorem. The proposed method could provide control volumes with arbitrarygeometry and preserve the second-order accuracy even if highly distorted grids are used. Althougharbitrary number of cell faces can be used, the hybrid quadrilateral/triangular grids are moredesirable for the simplicity of implementation and applications to engineering problems. Thepressure-velocity coupling was treated using a SIMPLE-like algorithm. The Generalized MinimumResidual (GMRES) method with the Incomplete LU (ILU) preconditioner was used to solve linearequations. Four test cases were studied for validating the proposed method. In using this method,grid quality is not important. Thus, engineers can pay mostly attention to physical mechanism ofproblems. Turbulence models can be simply integrated and the method can be straightforwardlyextended to treat three-dimensional problems.
