Coding Solvers for Fluids#
CCA Fluid Dynamics Summer School 2023#
This is a collection of notebooks on writing a simple finite-volume solver for compressible hydrodynamics. The goal is to understand the basic structure of a hydrodynamics code. We’ll write solvers for:
linear advection
compressible Euler equations
The methods we will discuss are at the core of many community astrophysics simulation codes.
Tip
Detailed derivations of the methods described here can be found in my LaTeX notes Introduction to Computational Astrophysical Hydrodynamics
