SUMMARYA description is given of the effects of the discretization of the domain of integration on the accuracy of the results obtained with boundary-fitted finite differences. Three-dimensional unsteady heat conduction problems and two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are considered. Comparisons with analytic solutions are given for all cases. It is shown that grid shapes influence the accuracy of the results and quantitative error evaluations are provided for some interesting cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
