Assignment-2: Computational Fluid Dynamics

Subject Code: ME-414 Submission Deadline: 12:00 Hrs, 05-11-2024

Question # 1:

Derive i) a third-order accurate forward difference approximation of ∂f /∂x using Taylor


series expansion and ii) a first-order accurate forward difference approximation of ∂ 3 f /∂x3
recurrence formula for a uniform grid.

Question # 2:

Construct the constraint matrix for evaluation of ∂ 3 f /∂y 3 having second order accuracy
using central difference scheme for a uniform grid.

Question # 3:

Derive a backward difference approximation of ∂f /∂x using unequally spaced grid points as
shown in the figure.

Here α is the coefficient of grid expansion.

Question # 4:

Determine ∂f /∂x at point A using Taylor series expansion. The function values are
known at point A, B and C.

Question # 5:

A steady-state one-dimensional, fully-developed Couette flow, is defined by the equation:

d2 u 1 ∂p
2
=
dy µ ∂x

Where the pressure gradient is ∂p/∂x = −10 N/m3 and the dynamic viscosity is µ =
1 × 10−3 P a.s. The total height of the domain is 5 m. Using the appropriate finite difference
approximation for uniform grid, construct the set of algebraic set of equations of the form,
A x = b, for Four interior nodes (∆y = 1). The boundary conditions for the flow are
u = 0 m/s at y = 0 and u = 5 m/s at y = 5.
