Preconditioning convection dominated convection‐diffusion problems

C.I. Goldstein

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution ofmulti‐dimensional convection dominated convection‐diffusionproblems. These problems are characterized by a large parameter…

The generalized lagrangian method with flux limiters

S. Sivaloganathan, J.M. Stockie

The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to present a detailedaccount of the generalized Lagrangian formulation of Hui and Zhao, in whichthe stream function ζ and Lagrangian…

Numerical results for advection‐dominated heat transfer in a moving fluid with a non‐slip boundary condition

Alan F. Hegarty, John J.H. Miller, Eugene O’Riordan, G.I. Shishkin

This paper is concerned with the laminar transfer of heat by forcedconvection where the velocity profile is taken to be parabolic. In theadvection dominated case the problem is…

Use of baffles in cavity flow for the suppression of thermal oscillations under microgravity

Mary C. Ho, B. Ramaswamy

The quality of crystals grown from melt depends on the flow field in themelt. To simulate melt conditions, a finite element analysis is performed onflow in a heated cavity under…

Numerical prediction of fully developed turbulent swirling flows in an axially rotating pipe by means of a modified k—ε turbulence model

Shuichi Torii, Wen‐Jei Yang

A numerical study is performed to investigate turbulent flowcharacteristics in a pipe rotating around the axis. Emphasis is placed on theeffect of pipe rotation on the friction…

Electrothermal simulation of power vdmos transistors

P.A. Mawby, J. Zeng, K. Board

Poisson’s equation and the electron continuity equation, together withheat flow equation are solved self‐consistently to obtain the latticetemperature profile under non‐isothermal…
