Evolution of CFD numerical methods and physical models towards a full discrete approach by Caltagirone, Jean-Paul

“…The physical models and numerical methodologies of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are historically linked to the concept of continuous medium and to analysis where continuity, derivation and integration are defined as limits at a point. The first consequence is the need to extend these notions in a multidimensional space by establishing a global inertial frame of reference in order to project the variables there. …”
