Steady incompressible flow around objects in general coordinates is investigated. First, an overview of the popular approaches to discretize incompressible flow problems in general coordinates is given. It has been chosen to solve the equations on a staggered grid with contravariant flux unknowns and pressure as primitive variables. A solution method multigrid is used, with a line smoother able to deal with stretched cells. For flow problems around objects solved with a single block discretization periodic boundary, conditions are prescribed and adaptations for the discretization and the multigrid method are given. Steady flow around a circular cylinder and around an ellipse are presented. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
