| Abstract: | Velocity-pressure finite element methods for two-dimensional incompressible viscous flow and natural convection are considered. The governing continuum mechanics equations are summarized, and the finite element formulation is given. Some details of the implementations with the resulting analysis capabilities are presented. Finally, sample results that demonstrate some of the capabilities of the present approach are given. |
