- Abstract
- We present a practical finite difference scheme for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation on curved surfaces in three-dimensional space. In the proposed method, the curved surface is embedded in a narrow band domain and the governing equation is extended to the narrow band domain. We use the standard seven-point stencil for the Laplace operator instead of a discrete Laplacian-Beltrami operator by using the closet point method and pseudo-Neumann boundary condition. The well-known projection method is used to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation in the narrow band domain. To make the velocity field be parallel to the surface, a velocity correction step is used. Various numerical experiments, such as the divergence-free test, the convergence rate, and the energy dissipation, are performed on curved surfaces, which demonstrated that our proposed method is robust and practical.
