Navier-Stokes Module

The MOOSE Navier-Stokes module is a library for the implementation of simulation tools that solve the Navier-Stokes equations using either the continuous Galerkin finite element (CGFE) or finite volume (FV) methods. The Navier-Stokes equations are usually solved using either the pressure-based, incompressible formulation (assuming a constant fluid density), or a density-based, compressible formulation, although there are plans to add a finite volume weakly-compressible pressured-based implementation in the not-too-distant future.

For documentation specific to finite element or finite volume implementations, please refer to the below pages:

Here we give a brief tabular summary of the Navier-Stokes implementations:
