2D implementation

  With semi-natural outflow condition we mean tangential velocity and normal stress prescribed at the boundary, i.e.

 

Although prescribed does in general not imply prescribed we assume that instead of (7.40) the following boundary condition is given:

 

where is related to by (7.9).
Boundary condition (7.41) influences both the tangential velocity cell as sketched in Figure 7.1, as the normal velocity half-cell sketched in Figure 7.3.
With respect to the tangential cell, the molecule is built in the same way as for the inner cells. The only difference is that virtual velocity components and virtual pressures are eliminated by linear extrapolation, i.e. by applying formulae (7.3) and (7.4).
The normal velocity half cell gives rise to the following discretization of the stress tensor (see [34], formula (6.19)):

 

where is given by (7.9). Virtual velocities are eliminated by linear extrapolation using formula (7.3). It must be remarked that the first term with respect to the pressure is evaluated in the points (1,1) and (-1,1) instead of (1,0) resp. (-1,0).
The convective terms are evaluated by expanding

 

using the standard inter- and extrapolations.
