A MODIFICATION TO THE SIMPLE METHOD FOR BUOYANCY-DRIVEN FLOWS
Abstract
The essence of the SIMPLE method lies in its coupling between the momentum and continuity equations. Almost all the algorithms of the SIMPLE family are based on one precondition, that is, the corrected velocity is obtained from the corrected pressure only. However, in buoyancy-driven flows, there are two major factors driving the fluid movement: the temperature gradients and the pressure (including kinetic pressure) gradients. In this article, …
