Rhie-Chow interpolation
 

1) I am trying to understand how to derivate the Rhie-Chow interpolation. Does anybody has an electronic or hard copy of this paper:

Rhie, C. M. and Chow, W. L. (1983), "Numerical study of the turbulent flow past an airfoil with trailing edge separation", AIAA Journal, vol. 21, pp. 1525-1532, 1983.

Please send it to bouloumag@gmail.com.


2) Is there any alternative method to Rhie-Chow interpolation for nonstaggered grid system ?

Thanks.

have a look at:
Lien, F.S., Leschziner, M.A. (1994). A general non-orthogonal collocated finite volume algorithm for turbulent flow at all speeds incorporating second-moment turbulence-transport closure, Part 1: computational implementation. Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Eng. 114, 123–148.

Thanks. Could you please send me a copy of this paper, as i cannot find a free pdf on google scholar. bouloumag@gmail.com

i have not read the following book but it seems it uses another method which is not momentum interpolation and only geometric parameters are used.
