Abstract
In this chapter, numerical solution approaches for viscous incompressible flow are briefly compared. Detailed discussions of each approach follow in separate chapters. All discussions are from an engineering perspective and mathematical formalities are not emphasized, in keeping with our perspective for this monograph that CFD is an engineering tool for supporting mission tasks, and thus one can implement well-founded numerical algorithms and physical models to resolve engineering issues at hand. To make significant impacts on missions such as aerospace vehicle design and operation, the CFD applications procedure is just as important as tool development. Here, we present a quick summary of numerical approaches most suitable for application to tasks for supporting missions, especially space exploration missions.
