Notes:
Two-dimensional external viscous flows are numerically approximated by means of a domain decomposition method which combines a vortex method and a finite difference method. The vortex method is used in the flow region which is dominated by convective effects, whereas the finite difference method is used in the flow region where viscous diffusion effects are dominant. An influence matrix technique combined with the uniformity condition of the pressure is used to enforce the tangential velocity boundary condition. Comparisons between numerical and experimental data show that the method is well adapted for simulating two-dimensional flows.
