Stochastic/analog simulator for viscous, incompressible fluid flow
Abstract
A restricted form of the simplified marker-and-cell (SMAC) algorithm for calculating incompressible fluid flows is described. The SMAC algorithm is suitable for hardware implementation. The necessary hardware for building a simulator is discussed in terms of block diagrams and cell circuitry. Such a simulator is feasible if stochastic processing techniques are used. Some cost estimates are given.
