An efficient and robust algorithm for 2D stratified fluid flow calculations. (English) Zbl 1137.76437

Summary: An efficient and robust algorithm for numerical simulation of 2D stratified flow past an object is presented. The algorithm uses an accurate and efficient GMRES to solve the pressure. The algorithm is tested by simulating the flow past an infinite flat plate in uniform flow for various flow conditions. Results are presented for the density and velocity along with comparisons to the exact solution for this problem.
