Fluid Dynamics (finite difference or finite volume)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the choice between finite difference and finite volume methods for simulating fluid dynamics. The user plans to start with incompressible fluid simulations before potentially moving to compressible fluids. There is a query about whether finite volume methods are more suitable for incompressible fluids and finite difference methods for compressible ones. Participants are encouraged to share insights on the best numerical methods for solving fluid dynamics problems. The conversation seeks guidance on effective modeling techniques in fluid dynamics.

Homework Statement


I'm trying to create a program which models fluids using the finite difference method

Homework Equations


This is what I'm looking for:)

The Attempt at a Solution



I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I guess at first I'll just simulate incompressible fluids and then maybe move to compressible fluids. I'm not sure whether to use finite difference or finite volume methods. Would finite volume would be better suited to simulate incompressible fluids and finite difference would be better for compressible?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
