Abstract

The fast development of computational hydrodynamics in recent years is mainly due to finite difference methods. However, that method cannot be used for small local flow effects investigation, and there are also difficulties in the application of the method for complex domains. A similar situation exists with finite element methods. A detailed analysis of finite difference and finite element methods’ development is not the subject of the present work, but it should be noted that the above mentioned circumstances decelerate development of application of finite difference and finite element methods in hydrodynamics and stimulate interest in integral methods, such as the boundary element method and the discrete vortices method.
