Abstract:
      For two-dimensional incompressible viscous flow,the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes(N-S)equation without convection term is derived by the coordinate transformation along the streamline direction.The explicit time discrete format is obtained via introducing the fourth order Runge-Kutta method and the Taylor expansion along the streamline direction,and then the space discretization format is carried out by the Galerkin method.Finally,a high precision finite element algorithm is obtained.This algorithm is applied to simulate flow in a cavity and flow around a circular cylinder.Through analyzing the effects of the different time step sizes,mesh sizes and flow field regions,the algorithm is further validated.Compared with the classical CBS method,it has more advantages in time step,characteristics of convergence and dissipation and accuracy.
