Abstract

Most of the introductory remarks made in Sect. 12.1 apply to the persent chapter as well, and will not be repeated. First, the compressible case will be discussed. The inviscid terms can be discretized as in Chap. 12, so that only the spatial discreization of the viscous terms needs to be given. Then the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations will be considered. The methods discussed in Chap. 6 will be generalized from Cartesian grids to structured boundary-fitted grids. A unified method for both the compressible and the incompressible case will be persented in the following chapter.
