AbstractIn this paper we extend to the stationary incompressible Navier — Stokes system in dimension two the results obtained in [14, 26] for a cell-centered finite volume method applied to the stationary incompressible Stokes system. Here the nonlinear term is discretized as in [15]. We prove that the energy error norm is bounded by h, where h is the mesh size, under the standard assumption that the datum is small enough with respect to the viscosity parameter. Numerical tests on examples with analytic solutions and on standard benchmark problems from fluid mechanics are presented and confirm the theoretical results.

A new “finite-volume” method is proposed to predict radiant heat transfer in enclosures with participating media. The method can conceptually be applied with the same nonorthogonal computational grids used to compute fluid flow and convective heat transfer. A fairly general version of the method is derived, and details are illustrated by applying it to several simple benchmark problems. Test results indicate that good accuracy is obtained on coarse computational grids, and that solution errors diminish rapidly as the grid is refined.
