Abstract
The main objective in this work is the enhancement of numerical codes, in development at Departamento de Engenharia Mecânica - UNESP Ilha Solteira, for simulation of fluid flows by solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in 2D and 3D Cartesian coordinates, using the Finite Element Method in sub-domain and least-squares formulations. Nowadays, the versions of the computational programs can…
