The aim of this study is to develop a two-dimensional pressure-based Navier-Stokes solver for
incompressible/compressible flows. Main variables are Cartesian velocity components, pressure
and temperature while density is linked to pressure via equation of state. Modified SIMPLE algorithm
is used to achieve pressure-velocity coupling. Finite Volume discretisation is performed
on non-orthogonal and boundary-fitted grids. Collocated variable arrangement is preferred because
of its advantage on staggered arrangement in non-orthogonal meshes. Face velocities are
calculated using Rhie-Chow momentum interpolation scheme to avoid pressure checkerboarding
effect. The solver is validated by solving a number of benchmark problems.
