Abstract

Numerical computations were carried out for four sample cases of heat and fluid flow using a QUICK and other finite difference schemes. It is found that for a forced convection a QUICK scheme provides much less grid dependence than other schemes such as a central difference scheme, an upwind difference scheme, a power law scheme and a hybrid difference scheme. For natural convection of low-Prandtl number fluid, a QUICK scheme gave oscillatory convection while the other schemes did not do for the same numerical conditions.
