Abstract
A finite element scheme suitable for incompressible fluid flow in plane and axisymmetric geometries is constructed by using a Galerkin method. Principal features of the associated computer program are that it can be used for problems with or without free surfaces, with or without inertia, and for many types of non-Newtonian flow. Here we describe the use of the program in solving Poiseuille flow, a 2:1 contraction tube flow, free non-Newtonian jets without inertia, and a Newtonian free jet problem at a Reynolds number of 10. Comparison with exact solutions, other computer solutions and experiment is given where such information is available.
