CFD Python, a.k.a. the 12 steps to Navier-Stokes taught by Prof. Lorena Barba

CFD Python, a.k.a. the 12 steps to Navier-Stokes, is a practical module for learning the foundations of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) by coding solutions to the basic partial differential equations that describe the physics of fluid flow. The module was part of a course taught by Prof. Lorena Barba between 2009 and 2013 in the Mechanical Engineering department at Boston University (Prof. Barba since moved to the George Washington University).

Steps 1–4 are in one spatial dimension. Steps 5–10 are in two dimensions (2D). Steps 11–12 solve the Navier-Stokes equation in 2D.
