Alternating direction implicit (ADI) in square

chberbelali · February 12, 2022, 16:39

Hello everyone,

I'm in the process of programming ADI method (with Thomas algorithm) for a problem of free convection in a wavy square enclosure, doing the transition from physical domain to computational domain, but my code dosen't support a big range of undulation amplitude and mesh refinement.

Please help!

I’d suggest starting with simple heat equation, no flow, fixed source in order to verify your solver. Then move to viscous Burgers equation, and onward. How are you treating advection terms in ADI and pressure solution?

My governing equations composed by two, one for temperature the other for fluid flow, i didn't use Burgers equation!!

Could you better detail your question? I am not sure about your issue, is a problem of mapping the two domains? Do you have an implicit time step for the diffusion only in vertical direction?

I'm already tested the code in simple case of square, it can't support a large number of iterations (mesh grids), but when i transfom my new domain to make it square it dosn't perfom better.

The new domain: square cavity with a right wavy wall and heated from the left side.
