A modified compact numerical algorithm to solve 2D Navier-Stokes equation

In this paper a modified fourth order compact scheme for solving unsteady 2-D Navier-stokes equation in stream function-vorticity formulation is proposed. The proposed scheme involves domain transformation and the governing cartesian equations are transformed to body fitted coordinate system. Explic...
