The specification and numerical solution of a benchmark swirling laminar flow problem

A primitive variable finite element method for solving swirling incompressible flow problems is presented. A flow problem of physical importance is analysed and the results are critically compared with an earlier solution. The numerical solution of a problem characterized by a particular choice of R...

Zusammenfassung:	A primitive variable finite element method for solving swirling incompressible flow problems is presented. A flow problem of physical importance is analysed and the results are critically compared with an earlier solution. The numerical solution of a problem characterized by a particular choice of Reynolds number and swirl ratio is discussed in detail; this problem is proposed as a benchmark for general swirling flow calculations.
