Foil 2 Abstract of PDE and CFD Background Presentation

From Fox Presentation Fall 1995 CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox


This presentation gives the application perspective on PDE's and their role in simulation compared to particle dynamics and Monte Carlo Methods
We derive Navier Stokes equations and discuss immense computational requirements needed in aerospace simulations
The importance of small viscosity and emergence of boundary layers is discussed
Approximations used in practical CFD such as Euler's equation and Reynold's averaging are presented
