The mass balance in restriction of FAS implement

Dear friends,
I am trying to implement FAS to our current SIMPLE 3D code which is based on a staggered uniform grid. Our problem is a buoyancy convection problem. And a special point is that the density is a function of temperature and concentration. Now I am not so sure on how to design the restriction scheme to guarrantee the mass balance. I know this is not hard when density rho is assumed a constant. But when it is a function of temperature and concentration, the situation changed. For example, when we have the accurate solution on the finest solution. We have the relationship (rho_west*u)+(rho_east*u)+(rho_north*v)+(rho_south *v)=0 But when we restrict u and v to a coarser grid, this relation is not true any more because the density need be recalculated by the restricted temperature distribution, and especially for a staggered grid, the density at a face is the average of density at two center point. Can I just neglect the above error and restrict u,v,T as what people have done in the constant density cases? Thank you. |
