The aim of this paper is to study the properties of approximations to nonlinear terms of the 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the stream function formulation (time-dependent biharmonic equation). The nonlinear convective terms are numerically solved by using the method with internal iterations, compared to the ones which are solved by using explicit and implicit schemes (operator splitting scheme Christov and Marinova; (2001)). Using schemes and algorithms, the steady 2D incompressible flow in a lid-driven cavity is solved up to Reynolds number Re =5000 with second-order spatial accuracy. The schemes are thoroughly validated on grids with different resolutions. The result of numerical experiments shows that the finite difference scheme with internal iterations on nonlinearity is more efficient for the high Reynolds number.

Stream Function Formulation

A two-dimensional stochastic solver for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is developed. The vorticity-stream function formulation is considered. The polynomial chaos expansion was integrated with an unstructured node-centered finite-volume solver. A second-order upwind scheme is used in the convection term for numerical stability and higher-order discretization. The resulting sparse linear system is solved efficiently by a direct parallel solver. The mean and variance simulations of the cavity flow are done for random variation of the viscosity and the lid velocity. The solver was tested and compared with the Monte-Carlo simulations and with previous research works. The developed solver is proved to be efficient in simulating the stochastic two-dimensional incompressible flows.
