Approximate numerical procedures for the Navier–Stokes system through the generalized method of lines

Abstract

This article develops approximate numerical solutions through the generalized method of lines for the time-independent, incompressible Navier–Stokes system in fluid mechanics. More specifically, we highlight the main objective of this article is the development of new approximate procedures for solving numerically the equation systems originated from a domain discretization related to a finite differences scheme. We recall that for such a method, the domain of the partial differential equation in question is discretized in lines (or more generally in curves), and the concerning solutions are written on these lines as functions of the boundary conditions and the domain boundary shape. Finally, it is worth emphasizing that in this text, we have presented softwares and results for a concerning approximate proximal approach, as well as results based on the original conception of the generalized method of lines.
