Developing a Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes Solver for the Web Browser

Open access0 citations

Abstract

This document accompanies the development of a numerical fluid solver built step-by-step from first principles, targeting execution in a web browser environment. It covers the governing physics, grid generation techniques, numerical discretisation methods, and a series of test cases of increasing complexity. The text is intended to grow alongside the publicly available source code.
