Real-Time Visualization of Two-Dimensional Fluid Flow
Lisboa Codex · 1993
The spread of personal computers with high-quality graphics displays and increas ing of computational speed, is bringing graphics to more users and allows a wide range of applications. The main purpose of this paper is to give a physical-intu itive understanding of fluid dynamics to engineers and students by the presenta tion of fluid flow examples. The work presented here describes the physical fundamentals and the numer ical algorithm used to perform calculations and visualization of incompressible two-dimensional flows. The model has been applied to a wide variety of flow cal culations and examples are shown in the paper emphasising the versatility that can be obtained.
