X-Momentum Equation: I 1 X U U U

The document describes the derivation of the momentum and pressure correction equations used in the SIMPLE algorithm for computational fluid dynamics. It shows the general momentum equations, their discretization, and how corrections to the pressure and velocity fields are calculated by solving the pressure correction equation derived from the continuity equation. The SIMPLE algorithm is then summarized as iteratively guessing the pressure field, solving the momentum equations, solving the pressure correction equation, and updating the pressure and velocity fields with the corrections.

First guess
for a guessed (wrong) pressure field p*
we get a wrong velocity field u*, v*, w*
by solving the momentum equations:

Pressure and
velocity corrections
thus we need to make corrections:

one needs to calculate:


the pressure corrections p'
and the velocity corrections u', v', w'

Link of pressure and


velocity corrections

giving:

Link of pressure and


velocity corrections

one still needs an equation for:


the pressure corrections p' or
the velocity corrections u', v', w'

Pressure correction
equation
make use of the continuity equation:

discretized:

Pressure correction
equation

SIMPLE algorithm
Guess the pressure field

p*

Solve the momentum equations to

obtain u*, v*, w*


Solve the p' equation (continuity)
Correct pressure field p =p*+p'
Calculate the velocity corrections

u', v', w'


Correct velocity field

u =u*+u',
v =v*+v'
w =w*+w'
Treat the corrected pressure

new guess p* and go to

p as a
