On Approximation and Computation of Navier-Stokes Flow

摘要

We present an approximation method for the non-stationary nonlinear incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a cylindrical domain (0,T)×G,where G （C） IR3is a smoothly bounded domain.Our method is applicable to general three-dimensional flow without any symmetry restrictions and relies on existence,uniqueness and representation results from mathematical fluid dynamics.After a suitable time delay in the nonlinear convective term v·▽v we obtain globally (in time) uniquely solvable equations,which-by using semi-implicit time differences-can be transformed into a finite number of Stokes-type boundary value problems.For the latter a boundary element method based on a corresponding hydrodynamical potential theory is carried out.The method is reported in short outlines ranging from approximation theory up to numerical test calculations.
