Abstract
The capabilities of a new control volume finite-element method (CVFEM) are demonstrated by its application to four different example problems. Whenever possible, the results are compared with exact solutions or with the results of independent numerical and experimental investigations available in the literature. These comparisons indicate that the proposed CVFEM can successfully solve two-dimensional elliptic fluid flow and heat transfer problems in regular- and irregular-shaped domains.Keywords
