SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on developing a 2D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code for laminar flow using the SIMPLER algorithm in C. Participants recommend Thompson's "Handbook of Grid Generation" as a primary resource for grid generation methods, specifically for 2D triangular grids. The availability of an older revision of the book online through Mississippi State University is highlighted as a valuable resource. Additionally, the need for guidance on graphical user interface (GUI) development is mentioned, indicating a gap in the original poster's knowledge.
