Application Of Fully Implicit Coupled Method For 2d Incompressible Flows On Unstructured Grids

In the subject of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), there seems to be small number of important progress in the pressure-based methods for several decades. Recent studies on the implicit coupled algorithms for pressure-based methods have brought a new insight. This method seems to provide a huge reduction in the solution times over segregated methods.

Fully implicit coupled algorithm for pressure-based methods is very new subject with only few papers in literature. One of the most important work in this area is referenced as [1] in this thesis. Another source of information about the method comes from a commercially available code FLUENT which includes the algorithm as an option for pressure-based solver. However the algorithm in FLUENT does not seem to be a fully implicit with a little information in its manual.

In this thesis, a fully implicit coupled pressure-based solver is developed mainly based on the available literature. The developed code is succesfully tested against some test cases.
