Finite Volume Particle Method for Incompressible Flows

Sterian Dănăilă, Delia Cosmina Teleaga, Luiza Zavalan

Abstract

This paper presents an application of the Finite Volume Particle Method to incompressible flows. The two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes solver is based on Chorin’s projection method with finite volume particle discretization. The Finite Volume Particle Method is a meshless method for fluid dynamics which unifies advantages of particle methods and finite volume methods in one scheme. The method of manufactured solutions is used to examine the global discretization error and finally a comparison between finite volume particle method simulations of an incompressible flow around a fixed circular cylinder and the numerical simulations with the CFD code ANSYS FLUENT 14.0 is presented.
