Grid-based methods have difficulty resolving features on or below the scale of the underlying grid. Although adaptive methods (e.g. RLE, octrees) can alleviate this to some degree, separate techniques are still required for simulating small-scale phenomena such as spray and … Continue reading →

In 2D, incompressible flows, the Stokes equations that represent the dynamics of very viscous flows and vorticity formulation of hydrodynamic equations both reduce to a scalar stream-function representation in terms of elliptic equations. By making use of this simplification and … Continue reading →
