About this video
In this video, we review all numerical methods and mathematical results needed to build a real-time computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation in Python as highlighted in Jos Stam's seminal 2003 paper, Stable Fluids. We begin by exploring the fundamentals behind fluid flow, then delve into the necessary simplifications to create a functional simulation. Finally we analyze physically interpretable results from our model by testing how various objects interact with airflow.
