Notes:
Three-dimensional incompressible laminar flow around a cube is investigated using the vorticity-vector potential formulation of the equations of motion. Numerical solutions to á semi-implicit finite difference approximation to the vorticity transport equation coupled to discrete Poisson equations for the scalar and vector potentials are obtained using an eight-colour SOR algorithm. Calculations are done at a range of Reynolds numbers from 10 to 100. The predicted drag and other flow characteristics are found to agree well with experimental results, including those from a cube drop experiment performed for the present study.
