Abstract: | A fixed domain approach and a Baiocchi type transformation in conjunction with a modified Schwarz alternating iteration scheme are used to solve problems of flow past truncated convex shaped profiles between walls in a logarithmic hodograph plane. The flows are such that an open wake or cavity is formed behind the profile. The basic numerical scheme consists of the successive over-relaxation finite difference approach over the whole domain of the problem with the use of a projection operation over only part of the domain. The numerical results that are obtained using this approach for the cases of a truncated circular arc profile and a wedge profile are compared with published results and are found to be in good agreement. |
