The Basics of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Modeling

Welcome to CFD-101, Flow Science's primer on Computational Fluid Dynamics, edited by Flow Science's founder and VOF pioneer, Dr. C.W. (Tony) Hirt. In this section, we try to give you a general overview of computational fluid dynamics. And, for the specific class of problems involving "free surfaces," we try to help you identify the most important factors to consider when selecting from various numerical methods, so that you can achieve what you are really after: accuracy.
