- Chuck,
-
- One of my graduate advisors is a hydrodynamics guy who does a lot
- of computational solving of 3-d, integrated, flow past a body type problems.
- If I remember correctly, the most popular way to solve to problem is by
- boundry elements. The second most popular method is by using finite elements.
- Check your school library for some tomes on the topic. My research is
- , unfortunately, finite elements so I can't make a recomendation on a
- good book title. I think the cfd folks used some expensive Springer-Verlag
- set - lots of grumbles(too expensive).
-
- good luck!
-
- ps the basic code should already exist, if you want it with less pain!!!
