Abstract

An upwind finite element scheme for the incompressible viscous flow at a high Reynolds number was proposed by the fourth and fifth authors. The scheme has the potential to approximate the advection term in third-order accuracy. We apply it to a two-dimensional non-stationary analysis of air flows around an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), which starts with constant acceleration, runs at a constant speed and stops with constant deceleration. The results are at least qualitatively good and compatible with experimental ones.
