Stabilized finite element formulation of buoyancy-driven incompressible flows. (English) Zbl 1001.76052

Summary: We develop a streamline-upwind/Petrov-Galerkin finite element method for buoyancy-driven incompressible flows with heat and mass transfer. The stabilized finite element formulations are implemented in parallel, using message passing interface libraries. To measure the accuracy of the method, we solve a two-dimensional numerical example of natural convection flows at moderate to high Rayleigh numbers. The three-dimensional applications include the dispersion of smoke from a chimney and within a stadium.
