  2. False diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_diffusion

    It was recognized independently by several investigators [1] [2] that the less expensive but only first order accurate upwind scheme can be employed but that this scheme produces results with false diffusion for multidimensional cases. Many new schemes have been developed to counter false diffusion but a reliable, accurate and economical ...

  3. Convection–diffusion equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection–diffusion...

    The convection–diffusion equation can be derived in a straightforward way [4] from the continuity equation, which states that the rate of change for a scalar quantity in a differential control volume is given by flow and diffusion into and out of that part of the system along with any generation or consumption inside the control volume: + =, where j is the total flux and R is a net ...

  4. Dress form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dress_form

    Dress forms of 1893. A dress form is a three-dimensional model of the human torso used for fitting clothing that is being designed or sewed.When making a piece of clothing, it can be put on the dress form so that one can see the fit and drape of the garment as it would appear on a body and make adjustments or alterations.

  5. QUICK scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_scheme

    In order to find the cell face value a quadratic function passing through two bracketing or surrounding nodes and one node on the upstream side must be used. In central differencing scheme and second order upwind scheme the first order derivative is included and the second order derivative is ignored.

  6. Numerical solution of the convection–diffusion equation

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

    The convection–diffusion equation describes the flow of heat, particles, or other physical quantities in situations where there is both diffusion and convection or advection. For information about the equation, its derivation, and its conceptual importance and consequences, see the main article convection–diffusion equation. This article ...

  7. Burgers' equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgers'_equation

    Burgers' equation or Bateman–Burgers equation is a fundamental partial differential equation and convection–diffusion equation [1] occurring in various areas of applied mathematics, such as fluid mechanics, [2] nonlinear acoustics, [3] gas dynamics, and traffic flow. [4]

  8. Upwind differencing scheme for convection - Wikipedia

    Lower case denotes the face and upper case denotes node; , , and refer to the "East," "West," and "Central" cell. (again, see Fig. 1 below). Defining variable F as convection mass flux and variable D as diffusion conductance = and =

  9. Combined forced and natural convection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_forced_and...

    The first case is when natural convection aids forced convection. This is seen when the buoyant motion is in the same direction as the forced motion, thus accelerating the boundary layer and enhancing the heat transfer. [5] Transition to turbulence, however, can be delayed. [6] An example of this would be a fan blowing upward on a hot plate.
