Abstract
This is the second of two companion articles dealing with a co-located equal-order control-volume-based finite-element method (CVFEM) for two- and three-dimensional, incompressible, viscous fluid flow. The formulation of this CVFEM is presented in the first article. In this article, the proposed CVFEM is verified by applying it to four test problems: steady, two-dimensional, laminar flow in a square cavity; steady, two-dimensional, turbulent flow behind a backward-facing step; steady, three-dimensional, laminar, natural convection in box; and steady, three-dimensional, turbulent flow in and around a single jet issuing normally into a cross flow. The results produced by the CVFEM are compared to those of independent numerical and experimental investigations in the literature.
