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

where ${\mbox{\boldmath$I$}}$ is the identity matrix, $\overline{\overline{\tau}}$ is the stress tensor, and ${\vec F}$ is the force vector.
