Abstract

In this paper, we briefly review and describe a projection algorithm for numerically computing the two-dimensional time-dependent incompressible Navier?Stokes equation. The projection method, which was originally introduced by Alexandre Chorin [A.J. Chorin, Numerical solution of the Navier?Stokes equations, Math. Comput., 22 (1968), pp. 745?762], is an effective numerical method for solving time-dependent incompressible fluid flow problems. The key advantage of the projection method is that we do not compute the momentum and the continuity equations at the same time, which is computationally difficult and costly. In the projection method, we compute an intermediate velocity vector field that is then projected onto divergence-free fields to recover the divergence-free velocity. Numerical solutions for flows inside a driven cavity are presented. We also provide the source code for the programs so that interested readers can modify the programs and adapt them for their own purposes.
