Title

A New Finite Element Technique For Recirculating Flow

Abstract

Over the years a number of computational codes have been developed for calculations of fluid flow behavior. Most of the computational codes are two-dimensional with more and more codes appearing for three-dimensional flow analysis. Almost all of the major fluid dynamic codes are based on finite difference algorithms, with most of these being operated on main frame or mini computer systems. In this research effort a PC based computational code written in ’C’ is developed, using a time-split finite element technique based on the Galerkin method using a chapeau basis function. The computational code is applied to the problem of recirculating flow with and without heat convection. In comparison to other published results it was found that this method was as accurate with a reduction in computational cost.
