Solution of three-dimensional time-dependent viscous flows

A procedure for solving three-dimensional, time-dependent turbulent flows is presented. The consistently split Linearized Block Implicit (LBI) scheme is used in conjunction with the QR Operator scheme to solve an approximate form of the Navier-Stokes equations in generalized nonorthogonal coordinates employing physical velocity components. Results of computations for both second order finite differences and the fourth order generalized Operator Compact Implicit (OCI) schemes are presented.
