Abstract: A very efficient vectorized code is tailored to solve 3-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for mixed-convection flows in high streamwise aspect ratio channels. It is based on Goda's algorithm, second-order finite differences, an incremental factorization method of alternating direction implicit (ADI) type, spectral decomposition of the 1-D Laplace operators, and the tridiagonal matrix algorithm (TDMA). It is shown to be of second order in both space and time by a general method of determining code convergence orders and to have good performance on a NEC-SX5 supercomputer. It is validated through experiments of various Poiseuille-Rayleigh-Benard flows with steady longitudinal, unsteady transverse, and convectively unstable wavy rolls.

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the relationships between the second order linear recurrences and the permanents and determinants of tridiagonal matrices. 1. Introduction The well-known Fibonacci, Lucas and Pell numbers can be generalized as follows: Let A and B be nonzero, relatively prime integers such that D = A 4B 6= 0: De…ne sequences fung and fvng by, for all n 2 (see [10]), un = Aun 1 Bun 2 (1.1) vn = Avn 1 Bvn 2 (1.2) where u0 = 0; u1 = 1 and v0 = 2; v1 = A: If A = 1 and B = 1; then un = Fn (the nth Fibonacci number) and vn = Ln (the nth Lucas number). If A = 2 and B = 1; then un = Pn ( the nth Pell number). An alternative is to let the roots of the equation t At+B = 0 be, for n 0 un = n n and vn = n + : (1.3) Also it is well-known that + = A and = B: The permanent of an n-square matrix A = (aij) is de…ned by
