Using the highly recommended numerical techniques, a finite element computer code is developed to analyse the steady incompressible, laminar and turbulent flows in 2-D domains with complex geometry. The Petrov-Galerkin finite element formulation is adopted to avoid numerical oscillations. Turbulence is modeled using the two equation k-ω model. The discretized equations are written in the form of a set of nonlinear equations by block implicit method and are then linearized by the Newton-Raphson method. The set of linearized equations are, finally, solved Through Frontal method. This generates a full implicit solution. A few laminar and turbulent flow sample problems are solved using the code. Results obtained are in perfect agreement with those obtained from numerical and experimental works reported in the literature.
