how to numerically compute the source term that goes with the viscous forces

From DerivePoissonEquationForPressure we have a formulation for \( \Phi(\mathbf{v})\), which is \begin{align} \Psi \left( \mathbf{v} \right)\equiv \nabla ^{T}\left( \frac{1}{\rho }\nabla \mathbf{S}_{v}\left( \mathbf{v} \right) \right) \end{align} In the same fashion as in ComputationOfPHI , we have the classical and the derived differential operators for the divergence operation needed for \( \Psi\). Therefore, numerically, we have the two choices
  • Variant 1: compute \( \Psi \left( \mathbf{v} \right) = \nabla ^{T}\left( ... \right)\) with the classical differential operators
  • Variant 2: compute \( \Psi \left( \mathbf{v} \right) = \nabla ^{T}\left( ... \right)\) with the derived differential operators
