Abstract
To illustrate the discretisation process of the finite element method in non-structural situations this lecture chooses to concentrate on the subject of the flow of real fluids. Within this one area of activity we can illustrate the use of virtual work concepts, derivation of various linear and non linear discretised forms and for the special case of irrotational flow, the specialisation to a simple LAPLACE equation.
