Finite volume flow simulations on arbitrary domains
Abstract
We present a novel method for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations that more accurately handles arbitrary boundary conditions and sharp geometric features in the fluid domain. It uses a space filling tetrahedral mesh, which can be created using many well known methods, to represent the fluid domain. Examples of the method's strengths are illustrated by free surface fluid simulations and smoke simulations of flows around objects with complex geometry.
