how to adjust the factors is so complicated and cant be explained easily.

Let us suppose you have the following matrices:

x(nx,ny,nz): x coordinates of your grid

y(nx,ny,nz): y coordinates of your grid

z(nx,ny,nz): z coordinates of your grid

dudx(nx,ny,nz): x-wise derivative of x-wise velocity component

dudy(nx,ny,nz): y-wise derivative of x-wise velocity component
.
.
.
dwdz(nx,ny,nz): z-wise derivative of z-wise velocity component

This is, more or less, how i would...

Basic finite volume tools

Posted July 1, 2013 at 11:29 by sbaffini (NuTBox)

At the following link:

http://rapidshare.com/files/1564297057/UFVMOM.rar

there is a basic MATLAB tool to handle unstructured finite volume grids (fluent .msh or .cas files) and to perform basic interpolations, gradient computations, plots etc. No actual FV computation is ever performed or implemented, however, the main structure of the code is clearly there.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The tool is actually a collection of functions, grouped by tasks...
