Abstract
The incremental projection scheme and its enhanced version, the rotational projection scheme are powerful and commonly used approaches producing efficient numerical algorithms for solving the Navier-Stokes equations. However, the much improved rotational projection scheme cannot be used on models with non-homogeneous viscosity, imposing the use of the less accurate incremental projection. This paper presents a projection method for the Navier-Stokes equations for fluids having variable viscosity, giving a consistent pressure and increased accuracy in pressure when compared to the incremental projection. The accuracy of the method will be illustrated using a manufactured solution.
