Abstract

Two iterative methods for numerically solving the incompressible 2D steady-state Navier-Stokes equation are presented. These are the Numerical Oseen (NOS) method and the Laplacian Driver (LAD) method. Unlike most methods, these are not time-dependent or even time-like in their iterations. The methods make use of recent advances in numerically solving 2D linear second-order partial differential equations with methods which are direct (i.e., non-iterative).
