23.4. Pressure-Based Solver

In this section, special practices related to the discretization of the momentum and continuity equations and their solution by means of the pressure-based solver are addressed. Information is organized into the following subsections:

These special practices are most easily described by considering the steady-state continuity and momentum equations in integral form:

(23–39)

(23–40)

where is the identity matrix, is the stress tensor, and is the force vector.
