Abstract

We describe and illustrate numerical procedures that combine grid and particle solvers for the solution of the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations. These procedures include vortex in cell (VIC) and domain decomposition schemes. Numerical comparisons with pure finite-difference methods demonstrate the effectiveness of these techniques for various flow geometries, bounded or unbounded.
