[CFD] The SIMPLE Algorithm (to solve incompressible Navier-Stokes)

An instructional video for how to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations numerically, using the SIMPLE algorithm. The following topics are covered:

1) 1:41 Why are the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations difficult to solve numerically?

2) 2:48 What are the key tricks to the SIMPLE algorithm?

3) 3:36 How can we derive a Poisson equation for pressure and a velocity corrector?

4) 10:43 How are the energy, turbulence and species transport equations incorporated into the SIMPLE algorithm?

5) 12:01 What are the conceptual differences between 'pressure-based' and 'density-based' algorithms?
