This paper presents a numerical study of instationary three-dimensional flows. Three methods, a semi-implicit one and two explicit ones were compared and tested on typical flow configurations (lid driven cavity, natural convection and mixed convection in a cavity). These methods were then applied to a problem of ventilation in a paint-booth. The semi-implicit method proved to have a higher accuracy. The explicit method of the M.A.C. type turned out to be more advantageous in calculation time.
