Summary:A numerical scheme using Fourier expansions in the streamwise and azimuthal directions and Jacobi polynomials in the radial direction for the direct numerical simulation of three-dimensional incompressible pipe flow with heating is presented. The proposed basis and test functions for the thermal field in conjunction with those for the velocity field set forth by Leonard and Wary offer an accurate representation of flow variables in transitional flow. A simple test to a linear stability problem demonstrates that this method yields very accurate results with relatively few radial modes and is well suited for the simulation of nonisothermal pipe flow transition.
