Abstract
A new numerical method is presented for the simulation of flows of incompressible fluids in plane or axisymmetric flows. Under certain assumptions, the physical domain can be transformed into a rectangular domain. This method can involve free surface flow problems. In Newtonian and non‐Newtonian cases, the relevant equations are non‐linear and the solution is carried out in the transformed domain where the stream lines are parallel straight lines.
