Conservation of mass and momentum. Euler equations. Navier-Stokes equations.

Discretization methods
Finite Differences method. Accuracy, stability and numerical diffusion. Finite volumes method. Evaluation of flux terms.

Numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations
Linearization methods for the convective terms. Projection methods for the solution of the equations of motion of incompressible fluids. SIMPLE and PISO methods. Treatment of the free surface in Eulerian schemes: the VoF (Volume of Fluid) method.

Turbulence modelling
Turbulent flow theory. Reynolds-averaged equations. Turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation. The k-epsilon method.

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
Numerical techniques in a Lagrangian frame. Kerner approximation and particle approximation. SPH solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. Enforcement of boundary conditions.
