Abstract

A fully implicit finite difference method for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations is presented that conserves mass, momentum, the square of velocity components, and, in the inviscid limit, kinetic energy The method uses a staggered arrangement of velocity and pressure on a structured Cartesian grid and retains its conservation properties for both uniform and non-uniform grids The convergence properties of the method are confirmed via numerical experiments.
