Abstract:
A new block implicit procedure ( BID) is introduced which utilizes a simple incomplete
decomposition of the matrix resulting from the discretization of the momentum and mass conservation equations for incompressible uid ow problems. In contrast to the conventional methods, the new method is not of the segregated type, and does not require an explicit equation for pressure. The complete, coupled block system is solved in its primitive form. In this way, mass and momentumconservation are satis ed simultaneously at all grid points, while pressure is calculated implicitly. Only a couple of overall iterations are required for the treatment of the nonlinearities of the problem. Tests show that the new procedure converges fast for any E value ( in an E-factor formulation) , and therefore virtually the E-factor formulation is not necessary
