Abstract
Localized vector algebra treatment of nonorthogonality is applied to two-dimensional quadrilateral control volumes using Cartesian base vectors in a primitive variable formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations for steady incompressible laminar flow. With optional grid-aligned, locally analytic interpolation, a simplified control-volume finite-element scheme is presented. Discretization of source terms, determination of interface convection-diffusion fluxes, pressure correction factors, and geometric quantities are described briefly. Results of three test cases provide useful initial insights into the performance of the method. The conclusion is reached that a simple finite-volume-based approach to nonorthogonality has been achieved.
