Hi,

I am looking for higher (2nd and above) order FVM for unstructured meshes, esp. triangular. Most of the reference I have are for structured meshes. I am more interested in N-S solvers.

Thanks & Regards Apurva

hi there,

Take a look at the following publication:

"Conservation Properties of Unstructured Staggered Mesh Schemes." Blair Perot. Journal of Computational Physics, Vol 159, pp 58-89, 2000.

I hope this helps, Sincerely,

Hi Apurva:

Firstly i would like to reply on your query. For a cell-centered, finite volume upwind scheme, higher-order accuracy can be achieved by a multidimensional linear reconstruction process. In higher order formulation, you have to calculate solution-gradient at the cell center. In 2D, this will be nothing but line integral around some closed path around the cell center.

I have used the above reconstruction process and Van Albada type Limitor in my unstructured (Triangles) Navier Stokes code. If you want, I will send my document and formulation for the same.

I think, you are working in Fluent India. I will write separately on the personal issues.

Cheers

Regards Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,

You guessed it right I am in Fluent India. If you have a soft copy of your report, can you mail it to me at : as@fluent.co.in. Will write to you soon on personal issues.

I don't know what kind of PDE you want to solve. If you want to solve hyperbolic equations, I think there are some choices. ENO, WENO, MUSCL or PPM can be the choice. These have 2nd or 3rd order accuracy.
