Strong formulations of the generalised Navier-Stokes momentum equation
Preprint
Abstract
In this paper, the strong formulation of the generalised Navier-Stokes momentum equation is investigated. Specifically, the formulation of shear-stress divergence is investigated, due to its effect on the performance and accuracy of computational methods. It is found that the term may be expressed in two different ways. While the first formulation is commonly used, the alternative derivation is found to be potentially more convenient for direct numerical manipulation. The alternative formulation relocates a part of strain information under the variable-coefficient Laplacian operator, thus making future computational schemes potentially simpler with larger time-step sizes.Keywords
