Numerical schemes

The parabolic method for jets, wakes, boundary layers and supersonic flows

PARSOL, the "Cut-Cell" technique for arbitrarily-shaped bodies in Cartesian grids

Applications of fine-grid embedding

• Flow around an automobile
• Laminar flow past a cylinder
• Laminar flow past three-part airfoil, with use of PARSOL

Applications of the GCV (General colocated velocities) scheme

• Flow in a bent pipe
• laminar flow in a symmetrical enlargement; IAHR test case
  
• two-dimensional flow in a steam-turbine cascade
  
• three-dimensional unsteady flow in a turbomachine
  

"Higher-order schemes" for the convection-diffusion problem

• Diagonal convection of a scalar step profile
  
• Laminar backward facing step flow
  
• Laminar wall-driven cavity flow
  
• Convection of a scalar step in a recirculating flow
