Some experiments with high order compact methods using a computer algebra software—Part II (non-uniform grid)

Abstract

We generalize a procedure proposed by Mancera and Hunt [P.F.A. Mancera, R. Hunt, Some experiments with high order compact methods using a computer algebra software—Part I, Appl. Math. Comput., in press, doi:10.1016/j.amc.2005.05.015] for obtaining a compact fourth-order method to the steady 2D Navier–Stokes equations in the streamfunction formulation—vorticity using the computer algebra system Maple, which includes conformal mappings and non-uniform grids. To analyse the procedure we have solved a constricted stepped channel problem, where a fine grid is placed near the re-entrant corner by transformation of the independent variables.
