Summary
| Description |
English: SVG illustration of the classic Navier-Stokes obstructed duct problem, which is stated as follows. There is air flowing in the 2-dimensional rectangular duct. In the middle of the duct, there is a point obstructing the flow. We may leverage Navier-Stokes equation to simulate the air velocity at each point within the duct. This plot gives the air velocity component of the direction along the duct. One may refer to [1], in which Eq. (3) is a little simplified version compared with ours. |

Own work
The following code leverages some numerical methods to simulate the solution of the 2-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation. We choose the simplified incompressible flow Navier-Stokes Equation as follows: The iterations here are based on the velocity change rate, which is given by Or in X coordinates: |
