When a fluid is in motion, it must move in such a way that mass is conserved. To see how mass conservation places restrictions on the velocity field, consider the steady flow of fluid through a duct ...

We propose a nonconforming finite element method for isentropic viscous gas flow in situations where convective effects may be neglected. We approximate the continuity equation by a piecewise constant ...

An in-depth understanding of the flow physics and the skills of mathematically analysing the fluid flow problems are important attributes of mechanical engineers and future scientific leaders. These ...
