  2. Finite volume method for two dimensional diffusion problem

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_volume_method_for...

    We obtain the distribution of the property i.e. a given two dimensional situation by writing discretized equations of the form of equation (3) at each grid node of the subdivided domain. At the boundaries where the temperature or fluxes are known the discretized equation are modified to incorporate the boundary conditions.

  3. Polytrope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytrope

    The normalized density as a function of scale length for a wide range of polytropic indices. In astrophysics, a polytrope refers to a solution of the Lane–Emden equation in which the pressure depends upon the density in the form = (+) / = + /, where P is pressure, ρ is density and K is a constant of proportionality. [1]

  4. Lane–Emden equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane–Emden_equation

    Thus, if we have a further equation that dictates how the pressure and density vary with respect to one another, we can reach a solution. The particular choice of a polytropic gas as given above makes the mathematical statement of the problem particularly succinct and leads to the Lane–Emden equation.

  5. Finite volume method for one-dimensional steady state ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_volume_method_for...

    The Finite volume method in computational fluid dynamics is a discretization technique for partial differential equations that arise from physical conservation laws. These equations can be different in nature, e.g. elliptic, parabolic, or hyperbolic. The first well-documented use of this method was by Evans and Harlow (1957) at Los Alamos.

  6. Godunov's scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godunov's_scheme

    In numerical analysis and computational fluid dynamics, Godunov's scheme is a conservative numerical scheme, suggested by Sergei Godunov in 1959, [1] for solving partial differential equations. One can think of this method as a conservative finite volume method which solves exact, or approximate Riemann problems at each inter-cell boundary. In ...

  7. Numerical solution of the convection–diffusion equation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_solution_of_the...

    The unsteady convection–diffusion problem is considered, at first the known temperature T is expanded into a Taylor series with respect to time taking into account its three components. Next, using the convection diffusion equation an equation is obtained from the differentiation of this equation.

  8. VTPR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTPR

    This volume translation corrects systematic deviations of the Peng–Robinson equation of state (PR EOS). The translation constant is obtained by determining the difference between the calculated density at T r =0.7 and the real value of the density obtained from experimental data.

  9. Polytropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytropic_process

    where p is the pressure, V is volume, n is the polytropic index, and C is a constant. The polytropic process equation describes expansion and compression processes which include heat transfer. The polytropic process equation describes expansion and compression processes which include heat transfer.
