Hi fisicas,

there is no such thing as a 2D pipe, a pipe is a 3D structure. I guess 2 parallel plates is about as good as it gets as for making a 2D pipe.

If your going to a 3D simulation of a...

Why do you want to use an unstructured grid?

Another option might be to use a structured grid with an immersed boundary method.

I was wondering prasanthnitt, did this solution work out for you?

Next it might be nice to change this code to 3D using multigrid method. Anyone up for that?

Regards,

Vincent

Since I have never worked with Gauss-Seidel iterative solver yet, I'll break the idea down and build it up from the start.

We want to solve the poisson equation:


-\nabla^2 p = -\nabla \cdot...

Indeed for a turbulent flow we do not expect p=0 at the outflow (this would imply a steady field). I guess an evolving flow means periodic boundary conditions, so p is not equal to zero in that case....

Alright I understand that we defined U and V velocity fields on a staggered grid. In the nonstaggered direction we do not have a factor, as we would expect.
In the staggered direction the terms...

Well, that is a really clear confirmation of the error made defining Ubc and Vbc. Thanks for figuring that one out.



This part was completely clear, I already formulated this in my own post...

I don't have alot of time on my hands, so I changed the code to inflow/outflow. You can understand what I did by using the manual written by Seibold. Check BC's and how i changed the matrices for...

Wow, thats alot of code. One thing you should not do in matlab is use for loops, it's terrribly slow and using matrix multiplication will result in a much cleaner code. So I'm going to make a counter...

Hey there,

your BCs look just fine, just be care of setting the boundary conditions. On a staggered grid setting u = 0 (wall condition in the y-direction) is done as setting u(bc) = -u(end) so...

Well done writing your own Matlab code!

If all is well (you are correctly solving Navier-Stokes equations) changing Lid Driven Cavity flow is as 'easy' as changing the Boundary Conditions.
