Off topic - Some advice on solving Navier-Stokes with Finite Difference

2009-08-12 Thread Farshid Mossaiby
Hi Shengyong, Thanks for the suggestion. Of course we know about the staggered grid method, but it is a research work and she is working to improve the method without using the staggered grid. Any suggestion would be welcome (maybe via private email). Again sorry for this off-topic post.

methods on adjacency matrix

2009-08-12 Thread Fredrik Bengzon
Hi, I'm trying to minimize my code managing a finite element mesh and thought of using the adjacency matrix type. Is there a list of methods working on this matrix type anywhere in the documentation? I want to store the node-to-element information in such a matrix and then use the

Stephen, There are two ways that I know of to deal with pressure checker boarding: staggered grids or some form of Rhie-Chow interpolation. IMO, these are simple only for uniform, Cartesian grids. For grids that are curvilinear, unstructured, non-uniform, and/or non-orthogonal, things get real
