Title
A Robust Layer-Resolving Numerical Method for Plane Stagnation Point Flow
Abstract
Plane stagnation point flow is one of a small class of problems for which a self-similar solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations exists. The self-similar solution and its derivatives can be expressed in terms of the solution of a transformed problem comprising a partially coupled system of quasilinear ordinary differential equations defined on a semi-infinite interval. In this paper a novel iterative numerical method for the solution of the transformed problem is described and used to compute numerical approximations to the self-similar solution and derivatives. The numerical method is layer-resolving which means that for each of the components, error bounds of the form CpN-p can be calculated where Cp and p are independent of the Reynolds number, showing that these numerical approximations are of controllable accuracy.
