2D Galerkin finite volume solution of steady inviscid artificial compressible flow on triangular meshes

Contribution to develop an accurate and efficient incompressible two dimensional flow solver is presented in this paper. The incompressible form of the mass and momentum conservation equations are solved in a coupled manner using artificial compressibility Method. In this work, two dimensional incompressible forms of the continuity and momentum equations are converted to discrete form by application of Galerkin Finite Volume algorithm on triangular unstructured meshes. Using triangular unstructured meshes provides great flexibility for modeling the flow in geometrically complex domains. In order to verify the accuracy of the numerical model, computed results are compared with the analytical solutions of potential flow problems.
