Abstract
This paper provides a complete exposition of a general finite-volume approach to the calculation of turbulent flow in geometrically complex domains, based on a non-orthogonal cordinate formulation of the governing equations with contravariant physical velocity components. It commences with a useful coordinate transformation which allows the aforementioned equations to be easily derived from the Cartesian coordinate counterparts. Then an implicit finite volume method of solution is presented, together with a simple transfinite mapping procedure for mesh generation. Finally the overall method is applied, by way of an example, to the prediction of flow and heat transfer in a staggered tube bank.
