Editor’s note: The Basics department this month is an excerpt from the ISA book Flow of Industrial Fluids – Theory and Equations by Raymond Mulley. Some material in this section may seem self-evident ...

Finite Element Methods (FEM) have emerged as a pivotal computational tool in the simulation of incompressible flows and the Navier-Stokes equations. By discretising the domain, these techniques offer ...
