Abstract

The numerical implementation of finite element discretization method for the stream function formulation of a linearized Navier-Stokes equations is considered. Algorithm 1 is applied using Argyris element. Three global orderings of nodes are selected and registered in order to conclude the best banded structure of matrix and a fluid flow calculation is considered to test a problem which has a known solution. Visualization of global node orderings, matrix sparsity patterns and stream function contours are displayed showing the main features of the flow.
