The particle-in-cell method for numerical solution of problems in fluid dynamics

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4769185· OSTI ID:4769185
The particle-in-cell method is a procedure to be used on high-speed computer for studies of the dynamics of compressible fluids undergoing large distortions. The technique is described for calculation of the dynamics of two fluids confined in a two-dimensional rectangular box. Techniques are also discussed for the extension to numerous other types of problems. The properties, limitations, and uses of the method are discussed.
