Abstract:
Flow of a viscous incompressible gas is studied in a plane channel and in the
aerodynamic wake behind it. This study is based on numerical solution of
Navier–Stokes equations in $(u,v,T)$ variables and on graphical analysis
of results obtained. Formulation of the problem is given and a numerical
method for its solution is described. Various flow structures are revealed
depending on base parameters. The phenomenon of channel blocking (“locking”) is explored in detail.
Keywords:Navier–Stokes equations, flow of a viscous incompressible gas, numerical simulation, aeromechanics, fluid mechanics.
