    Fluid flow analysis using the boundary element method
    (1993-05) Carneiro, Helder Fernando De Franca Mendes; Ramsden, K. W.
    An Attempt at development of theory and computer program for the solution of potential and viscous flow problems using the Boundary Element Methods is introduced in this work. A program for potential flow analysis of cascades is developed and properly validated. Theory and programs for boundary element analysis of viscous flow using vorticity-velocity formulation and pressure-velocity formulation along with the penalty function approach were developed. Many tests were carried out on the programs, and case studies of Poiseuille, Couette and driven-cavity flows were analysed and results were compared with existing solutions. The developed vorticity-velocity algortithms converge well for low Reynolds number, but the program based on the penalty function approach has limited success only for cases without domain integrations.
