Abstract
Conductor drag coefficients are computed using large eddy simulation. A hybrid procedure in which the finite difference method is used to in tegrate the momentum equation and the finite element method to integra te the pressure equation is utilized in a nonorthogonal grid system. T he pressure equation is solved using an efficient preconditioned conju gate procedure. The computed results are in good agreement with field results.
