Hydrodynamics Modeling

Hydrodynamics modeling involves simulating the motion of fluids, including oceans, rivers, lakes, and atmospheric flows.

🌊 Key Topics

  • Navier–Stokes equations
  • Turbulence modeling
  • Shallow-water equations
  • Surface wave dynamics
  • Multiphase flow
  • Fluid–structure interaction
