Abstract

A comparison study of algorithm on a rectangular collocated mesh is conducted for variable density Navier-Stokes equations with continuous surface forces. The algorithms include the original projection method (AI-TI) with the surface force calculated only in the predictor steps, the named balanced-force projection method (AII-TIV) with the surface force and the pressure gradient calculated together, and a consistent projection method (AIII-TVII) developed in this paper. Detailed comparisons are also conducted among the techniques for calculation of the pressure gradient and surface force at a cell center. A consistent projection method updates the velocity at a cell center in a very difference way with the balanced-force projection formula. A conservative interpolation is used to update the velocity a cell center, which is further used to obtain the sum of the pressure gradient and the surface force.
