    Notes: A standard Galerkin finite element penalty function method is used to approximate the solution of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for steady incompressible Newtonian entrance flow in a 90° curved tube (curvature ratio δ = 1/6) for a triple of Dean numbers (κ = 41, 122 and 204). The computational results for the intermediate Dean number (κ = 122) are compared with the results of laser-Doppler velocity measurements in an equivalent experimental model. For both the axial and secondary velocity components, fair agreement between the computational and experimental results is found.

    Notes: In this paper a penalty finite element solution method for the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations for two-dimensional incompressible flow is described. The performances of the Euler implicit (EI) and the Crank-Nicolson (CN) time integration methods are analysed. Special attention is payed to the undamped pressure oscillations which can occur when the Crank-Nicolson integration rule is used in combination with the penalty function method. Stability and convergence properties are illustrated by means of the computation of fully developed oscillating flow between two flat plates. Furthermore, the von Karman vortex street past a circular cylinder is computed to demonstrate the behaviour of the time integration schemes for a more complicated flow. It is concluded that the EI method has its advantages over the CN method with respect to the damping of numerical oscillations. However, for flows with an important convective contribution, where physically originated oscillations may be present, the CN method is preferable.

    Notes: Benchmark problems are solved with the steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations discretized with a finite volume method in general curvilinear co-ordinates on a staggered grid. The problems solved are skewed driven cavity problems, recently proposed as non-orthogonal grid benchmark problems. The system of discretized equations is solved efficiently with a non-linear multigrid algorithm, in which a robust line smoother is implemented. Furthermore, another benchmark problem is introduced and solved in which a 90° change in grid line direction occurs.

    Notes: In this paper the integrated solution approach, the penalty function approach and the solenoidal approach for the finite element solution of the stationary Navier-Stokes equations are compared. It is shown that both the penalty function approach and the solenoidal approach compare favourably to the integrated solution method. For fine meshes the solenoidal approach appears to be the cheapest method.

    Notes: In this paper a total linearization method is derived for solving steady viscous free boundary flow problems (including capillary effects) by the finite element method. It is shown that the influence of the geometrical unknown in the totally linearized weak formulation can be expressed in terms of boundary integrals. This means that the implementation of the method is simple. Numerical experiments show that the iterative method gives accurate results and converges very fast.

    Notes: The discretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation on boundary-fitted curvilinear grids is considered. The discretization is based on a staggered grid arrangement and the Navier-;Stokes equations in tensor formulation including Christoffel symbols. It is shown that discretization accuracy is much enhanced by choosing the velocity variables in a special way. The time-dependent equations are solved by a pressure-correction method in combination with a GMRES method. Special attention is paid to the discretization of several types of boundary conditions. It is shown that fairly non-smooth grids may be used using our approach.

    Notes: A brief review of the computation of incompressible turbulent flow in complex geometries is given. A 2D finite volume method for the calculation of turbulent flow in general curvilinear co-ordinates is described. This method is based on a staggered grid arrangement and the contravariant flux componets are chosen as primitive variables. Turbulence is modelled either by the standard k-ε model or by a k-ε model based on RNG theory. Convection is approximated with central differences for the mean flow quantities and a TVD-type MUSCL scheme for the turbulence equations. The sensitivity of the method to the grid properties is investigated. An application of this method to a complex turbulent flow is presented. The results of computations are compared with experimental data and other numerical solutions and are found to be satisfactory.

    Notes: In this paper a class of nonlinear evolution problems is considered. It is shown that, under special conditions, the application of the product approximation method for nonlinear problems in the finite element method results in constant (i.e. time-independent) matrices. In those cases the amount of computing required to solve these equations with an explicit time-stepping algorithm is decreased considerably compared to the standard Galerkin formulation in which the matrices are time-dependent. The method is applied to two practical two-dimensional problems: the shallow water equations and a nonlinear heat conduction problem.

    Notes: The accuracies of the computed temperatures of a liquid in a corner region under freezing conditions are compared for various fixed-grid finite element techniques using the analytical solution for this problem as a reference.In the finite element formulation of the problem different time-stepping schemes are compared: the implicit Euler-backward algorithm combined with an iterative scheme and two three-time-level methods - the Lees algorithm and a Dupont algorithm, which are both applied as non-iterative schemes.Furthermore, different methods for handling the evolution of latent heat are examined: an approximation method suggested by Lemmon and one suggested by Del Giudice, both using the enthalpy formulation as well as a fictitious heat-flow method presented by Rolph and Bathe.Results of calculations performed with the consistent heat-capacity matrix are compared with those performed with a lumped heat-capacity matrix.

    Notes: In this note we present a method to incorporate boundary conditions of the type u equals unknown constant in existing finite element codes, without disturbing the structure of the resulting finite element matrices. The method is applied to the problem of a flow around an obstacle and to two problems from lubrication theory. It is shown that the method presented does not require any extra computing time compared to problems with other types of boundary conditions.
