TLDR
An object-oriented design used to implement a vortex particle based flow solver in two dimensions is described and the various abstractions that arose as a result of this design are provided.Abstract:
Vortex methods offer a grid-free alternative to simulating incompressible, viscous, fluid flows. They require the use of fairly sophisticated algorithms and can be complicated to implement for general flows. This article describes an object-oriented design used to implement a vortex particle based flow solver in two dimensions. We provide an overview of the various abstractions that arose as a result of this design. Several of the algorithms have common components that may be abstracted and reused. We demonstrate how the design allowed us to derive the traditional benefits of OOD. In addition, we show how the design directly suggested elegant generalizations of existing algorithms. Finally, we show the benefits of using software testing techniques and building a powerful scripting layer for the library.read more

Vortex sheet approximation of boundary layers
TL;DR: In this paper, a grid free method for approximating incompressible boundary layers is introduced, which is related to the earlier vortex method; simplicity is achieved at the cost of replacing the Navier-Stokes equations by the Prandtl boundary layer equations.

An implementation of the fast multipole method without multipoles
TL;DR: An implementation is presented of the fast multipole method, which uses approximations based on Poisson’s formula, and results are given that show the importance of good level selection.
