Abstract: The Navier-Stokes equations are the governing equations for fluid flow. They are a system of nonlinear partial differential equations. There are very few exact solutions of the equations, and even for simple geometries, the equations have to be solved numerically. With increasing the Reynolds number, the accurate solution of the equations becomes more difficult, see Ghia et al. (1982), Azzam (2003), Erturk et al. (2005), Boppana & Gajjar (2010) and others. A number of techniques and algorithms have been developed to obtain an accurate solution of the equation for high Reynolds numbers.
