Crank-Nicolson Method for Time Marching where f represents the summation of the convective terms, the viscous terms and the pressure terms at the present time step n and the next time step n+1. • Pressure-correction Method • SIMPLE method (Patankar 1980) where p’ is the pressure correction, V’faceis the velocity correction term, әp’ /әnis the pressure correction derivative with respect to the normal direction of the cell face, V*face= (u*; v*) is the predicted velocity vector obtained from the momentum equation.

  10. Moving Grid When the grid is moving, additional terms need to be taken into account. where (ugrid, vgrid) is the velocity of the moving grid; and represents the total change in the value of u with both increment in time and the corresponding change in the location of the point. When the above equation is substituted into the momentum equation MMS/OTRC Review Meeting - UT Austin
