You are right. I didn't consider that. I guess what confuses me right now is that I expect that the area under the velocity curve should be constant in time. However as time progresses the area under...

1. So I checked the residual and yes the residual is maxed out in the same regions as the maximum divergence values.

2. I don't ever calculate the pressure points on the boundary or outside...

Can you elaborate or point me towards a reference that talks about this more. I have looked into a couple of cfd references and they don't really seem to talk about this issue and in most cases only...

I think I figured out where the error is. When I formulate the finite difference matrix for the laplacian, I essentially solve Ax = b. However A is nearly singular and so my solution ends up being...

So i'm working on a sliding cylinder problem, which is axisymmetric. Basically its a cylindrical cavity where the end caps are stationary and the wall is moving with a given velocity in the z...

I think I have accounted for that. Since my code is on a staggered grid, I'm only calculating pressure at the interior points. At the edges, I assume that the ghost point outside the boundary is the...

the equation is just the cylindrical expansion for:

\nabla^2 P = \nabla \cdot \bar{u}


I didn't put in the time because it cancels once applied in the navier stokes equations.



I have...

for those interested, I found this paper which essentially talks about my problem. Unfortunately I still have not found the bug in my code. I expect my code to produce a poiseuielle like profile that...

So instead of solving for the pressure in one step, could I split it into two steps? the first step would be multiplying the divergence of the intermediate velocity (not divergent free) by the...

I believe that i am using an exact projection method. In each step of my code I update the u_z and u_r field by the advection and diffusion terms. Then I solve the following equation

I do have a working code in cartesian coordinates that has been verified against ghia for the lid driven cavity. I'm a bit confused about what you are saying... Are you saying I should use the exact...

Pressure correction in fractional step method

Can someone explain to me how the pressure correction step works in cylindrical coordinates? I have been working on a code for a while and my pressure correction step is not producing a divergence...
