Abstract
This paper discusses the computation of multiple solutions of various discretizations of the steady state incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Solution paths (?,R) satisfying the discrete system of equationsH(?,R)=0, where ? represents the discrete flow field andR is the Reynolds number, are computed using a pseudo arc-length continuation procedure. For flows over the back end of an axially symmetric body with a cusped tail in a coaxial circular cylinder, the solution paths often exhibit "hairpin" turning points. Dependence of the paths on the mesh spacing and various selections for the discretizations of the convective and diffusive terms are presented.
