STEALTH is a family of computer codes that solve the equations of motion for a general continuum. These codes can be used to calculate a variety of physical processes in which the dynamic behavior of a continuum is involved. The versions of STEALTH described in this volume were designed for the calculation of problems involving low-speed fluid flow. They employ an implicit finite difference technique to solve the one- and two-dimensional equations of motion, written for an arbitrary coordinate system, for both incompressible and compressible fluids. The solution technique involves an iterative solution of the implicit, Lagrangian finite difference equations. Convection terms that result from the use of an arbitrarily-moving coordinate system are calculated separately. This volume provides the theoretical background, the finite difference equations, and the input instructions for the one- and two-dimensional codes; a discussion of several sample problems; and a listing of the input decks required to run those problems.
