Calculation of Oseen’s Flow Past a Sphere using Indirect Boundary Element Method
Keywords:
Indirect boundary element method, Oseen’s flowAbstract
In this paper, a steady and incompressible Oseen’s flow past a sphere is calculated using the indirect boundary element method (IDBEM). The surface of the sphere is discretized into quadrilateral elements, over which the velocity distribution is calculated. The computed results are compared with analytical results. It is found that both these results are in good agreement.doi:10.14456/WJST.2014.51
