I want to solve Continuity and x-momentum Equations using Finite Volume method and first upwind scheme. I wrote a code for this problem but it doesnt work. I got NaN error. Can you help me to find my mistake? Here is my code:
clear all
clc
cv=10;
xi=0; xf=0.1; yi=0; yf=0.1; dx=(xf-xi)/cv; dy=(yf-yi)/cv; U=zeros(cv); v=zeros(cv+1); u=zeros(cv+1); uinf=1; maxerr=1; k=0; nu=15.11*10^-6; D=nu/dy; u(1,=0;
while maxerr>0.000001
k=k+1Uold=U;vold=v;for i=2:cv for j=2:cvu(i,1)=uinf;u(i,cv+1)=u(i,cv);u(i,j)=(U(i-1,j)+U(i,j))/2;u(cv+1,1)=uinf;u(cv+1,i)=uinf;u(i,cv+1)=u(i,cv); u(1,cv+1)=u(1,cv);u(i,cv+1)=u(i,cv);u(cv+1,cv+1)=u (cv+1,cv);u(1,j)=0; endend U(1,1)=(u(1,1)*uinf+D*U(2,1))/(u(1,2)+3*D+v(2,1)); U(cv,1)=((u(1,1)+2*D)*uinf+((v(cv,1)+D)*U(cv-1,1)))/(u(cv,2)+3*D); U(cv,cv)=(u(cv,cv)*U(cv-1,cv)+D*U(cv,cv-1)+2*D*uinf)/(u(cv,cv)+3*D); U(1,cv)=((u(1,cv))*U(1,cv-1)+D*U(2,cv))/(u(1,cv+1)+v(2,cv)+3*D); for i=2:cv-1 for j=2:cv-1 U(1,j)=(((v(1,j-1))+D)*U(i-1,j)+u(1,1)*uinf)/(u(i,j)+(v(i,j))+2*D); U(cv,j)=((u(cv,j))*U(cv-1,j)+((v(cv,j))+D)*U(cv,j-1)+D*U(cv-1,j))/(u(cv,j)+(v(cv,j))+2*D); U(i,cv)=(((u(i,cv)))*U(i-1,cv)+((v(i,cv))+D)*U(i,cv-1)+2*D*uinf)/(u(i,cv+1)+3*D); U(i,1)=((u(i,1))*U(i-1,1)+D*U(i+1,1))/((u(i-1,1))+(v(i,2))+3*D); U(i,j)=(u(i-1,j)*U(i-1,j)+(v(i,j-1)+D)*U(i,j-1)+D*U(i,j+1))/(u(i+1,j)+v(i,j+1)+2*D); end end for i=2:cv for j=2:cv-1 v(i,j+1)=u(i+1,j)-u(i-1,j)+u(i,j-1); end end for i=1:cv for j=1:cv er=abs(U(i,j)-Uold(i,j)); if er>maxerr maxerr=er; end end endend

Very easy. There should be a space in "endend", ie. make it "end end".

no there is not missing line. the code looks like that when it is uploaded here, that's why I also added code.txt file..

Any new info here?

Just noticed this is very old thread please ignore. (You are solving 1D NS equation in 2D mesh without temperature and density??. Please discretize the equations in paper and verify.)

Yes - solving 1D flow with a mesh in x and y. No temperature
rho = 1.225; % kg/m^3
U = 10; % m/s - freestream
mu = 1.789e-5;

For a central difference I have u(i+1) =
u(j,i+1) = (2*dx/u(j,i)) * (((mu/rho)*((u(j-1,i) + 2*u(j,i) + u(j+1,i))/(dy^2))) - (v(j,i)*((u(j-1,i) - u(j+1,i))/(2*dy)))) + u(j,i-1);

and v(j-1) = v(j-1,i) = 2*dy*((u(j,i+1) - u(j,i-1))/(2*dx)) + v(j+1,i);
