THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR FLUID FLOW

Formulation of the incompressible inviscid and viscous flow in terms of different finite element models are presented. Examples of liquid sloshing and slow axial symmetric particulate flow in tubes are given to demonstrate the power of this method. (Author)
