Computational Fluid Mechanics: Selected Papers

by Alexandre J. Chorin

Here are 14 papers published by Chorin (math, UC Berkeley) between 1967 and 1982 on vortex methods, the projection method, and the numerical solution of problems in kinetic theory, combustion theory, and gas dynamics. These papers explain, among other topics, how one might set up a discrete approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible fluid, and how one might build a vortex method or solve a Riemann problem.
