Poisson equation occurs in many forms in CFD. Efficient and fast solution to Poisson equation is important aspect of CFD.
In CFD the Poisson equation occurs mainly in the form:
The solution
The left hand side can be discretised in the manner explained in section related to diffusive term . The diffusive term can be broken into two explicit and implicit parts.
We have, 
giving us the expression:
![D_f = \Gamma _f \nabla \phi _f \bullet {\rm{\vec A = }}\Gamma _{\rm{f}} \left[ {\left( {\phi _1 - \phi _0 } \right)\vec \alpha \bullet {\rm{\vec A + }}\bar \nabla \phi \bullet {\rm{\vec A - }}\left( {\bar \nabla \phi \bullet {\rm{d\vec s}}} \right)\vec \alpha \bullet {\rm{\vec A}}} \right]](/W/images/math/7/7/2/772b96059e9032fc07b25c0dee76db6c.png)
where 
and 
are suitable face averages.
When broken into implicit and explicit parts
![D_{implicit} = \Gamma _{\rm{f}} \left[ {\left( {\phi _1 - \phi _0 } \right)\vec \alpha \bullet {\rm{\vec A }} } \right]](/W/images/math/e/b/6/eb6a1eedd86844e3b07754871a790a5e.png)
![D_{explicit} = \Gamma _f \left[ {\bar \nabla \phi \bullet \vec A - \left( {\bar \nabla \phi \bullet d\vec s} \right)\vec \alpha \bullet \vec A} \right]](/W/images/math/d/8/f/d8fe36fb5c721a8e4f2b149de57925fb.png)
This gives us the coefficient of matrix as:
and for source matrix:
![S_U = S_U + q_\phi - D_{explicit} = S_U + q_\phi - \Gamma _f \left[ {\bar \nabla \phi \bullet \vec A - \left( {\bar \nabla \phi \bullet d\vec s} \right)\vec \alpha \bullet \vec A} \right]](/W/images/math/0/7/9/079149afed82462209a7ed984989c7ee.png)
Once the coefficient and source matrix is constructed, the system could be solved with the help of iterative solvers.
