Foreword
Numerical Simulation of incompressible flows has become an essential tool for studying many important problems in science and engineering, thanks to advances both in numerical methods and computer technology. In life and earth sciences, complicated flow phenomena can be simulated today because of such sophisticated tools. For example, in biology the circulation of blood in the human heart and brain, air in the lungs, and urine in kidneys is the subject of many extensive studies. Similarly, simulations of oil well and oil field flows provide critical information to geologists. Ocean circulation and weather prediction are among the fields that have become dependent on computer simulations. Engineering applications of internal and external incompressible flows are plentiful, including laminar and turbulent flows of pipes, pumps and turbines, hydrofoils, and flow around ships and submarines.
