Some uses of Green's theorem in solving the Navier-Stokes equations

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of methods where Green's theorem may be employed in solving numerically the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluid motion is given, based on the concept of using the theorem to transform local boundary conditions given on the boundary of a closed region in the solution domain into global, or integral, conditions taken over it.
