Abstract

The article deals with the numerical simulations for equations of geophysical fluids. These physical phenomena are modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations which describe the motion of the fluid, the ocean currents, the flow of water in a pipe and many other fluid flow phenomenon.These equations are very useful because of there utility. The Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flow are nonlinear partial differential equations that drive the motion of fluids in the approximation of continuous media. The existence of general solutions to the Navier Stokes equations have already proven but in this paper we have interested to the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We get an optimal discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations and numerical approximations of the solution are also given. The convergence and the stabilityof the approximated system are proven. The numerical resolution is based on Hermite finite elements. The numerical system was expressed in matrix form for computation of velocity and the pression fieldsapproach using MATLAB software. Numerical results for velocity field in two dimensional space of the velocity u(x,y) and pression p(x,y,) are given. And finally we give physical interpretation of the results obtained.
