...A. G. Malan; J. P. Meyer; P. Nithiarasu Purpose This paper aims to present briefly a unified fractional step method for fluid dynamics, incompressible solid mechanics and heat transfer calculations. The proposed method is demonstrated by solving compressible and incompressible flows, solid...

...Jaco Dirker; Arnaud G. Malan; Josua P. Meyer Purpose This paper aims to investigate thermal geometric optimisation of rectangular heat conductive cooling structures within solid heat‐generating media for the purpose of minimising peak temperatures and enabling optimum use of spatial volume within...

... transport in solid‐liquid phase change systems. Design/methodology/approach The method is structured on multiquadrics radial basis functions. The collocation is made locally over a set of overlapping domains of influence and the time stepping is performed in an explicit way. Only small systems of linear...
