navier_stokes_2d_exact

navier_stokes_2d_exact, a MATLAB code which evaluates exact solutions to the incompressible time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) over an arbitrary domain in 2D.

• cavity: steady, polynomial in space, zero velocity boundary conditions on sides and bottoms, variable velocity on "top". This is NOT the standard "driven cavity" example;
• exppoly: time dependent, exponential growth in time, zero velocity boundary conditions on unit square;
• exptrig: time dependent, trigonometric in space, exponential growth in time, zero velocity boundary conditions on unit square; at t=1, this flow forms a spiral. At later times, the exponential growth seems to make the solution physically absurd and computationally intractable.
• GMS: time dependent, vortices do not decay to zero;
• Lukas: steady, zero pressure;
• Poiseuille: steady, zero vertical velocity, zero source term;
• Spiral: time dependent, zero velocity on the unit square;
• Taylor: time dependent, zero source term, solution decays exponentially.
• Vortex: steady, same velocity pattern as Taylor.
