Sinopsis

Incompressible high-Reynolds-number flows are simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes equations. A finite-difference method with third-order upwinding are employed without using any turbulence model. Validity of this method is discussed. Also, a newly developed multi-directional formulation is applied for improved accuracy. Examples are presented to show the applicability of the present approach to variety of problems.
