The arbitrarily shaped domain is mapped onto a rectangular block, resulting in a boundary-fitted grid. In order to obtain accurate discretizations of the transformed equations, some requirements on geometric quantities should be met. The choice of velocity components is also of importance. Contravariant flux unknowns and pressure p are used as primary unknowns on a staggered grid arrangement. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000The system of discretized equations is solved with a non-linear multigrid algorithm, into which a smoother, called Symmetric Coupled Gauss—Seidel, is implemented. Cell by cell, all unknowns in the grid cell are updated by solving four momentum equations and a continuity equation simultaneously. The solution algorithm shows satisfying average reduction factors for several domains.","PeriodicalId":136398,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Applied Numerical Methods","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124961495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shear strains on the reference lamina are averaged to solve the locking problem and eliminate possible zero-energy modes.","PeriodicalId":136398,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Applied Numerical Methods","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129444320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
