Abstract

A finite difference method is described for computation of dynamics of pipe flow in two dimensions. The In-house code solves the pressure -velocity coupled momentum and the continuity equations using Semi Implicit Pressure Linked (SIMPLE) algorithm and postprocesses the data. The In-house code has been written in MATLABâ„¢. A run for the same geometry in ANSYS FLUENTâ„¢ is also put on for two-dimensional laminar flow and a systematic comparative study is presented between the two codes. The results are tabulated with their percentage accuracy with respect to the analytical solution.
