Abstract
Flow in a staggered tube bundle is investigated in this paper. The governing equations are discretized on a staggered grid with a Diagonal Cartesian Method allowing a special treatment of the non-Cartesian boundaries. This approach is computationally less expensive than a method based on the use of body-fitted coordinates. The principle of the Diagonal Cartesian Method is described, with a special attention close to a non-Cartesian boundary. Simulations show good agreement with the experimental data of Simonin and Barcouda.
