Abstract
Fluid flows have always been among the most modeled and (numerically) simulated phenomena, appearing in entirely different contexts and disciplines. Astrophysics, plasmaphysics, geophysics, climate research and weather forecasting, process engineering and aerodynamics as well as medicine—fluid flows are studied everywhere even though the materials, or fluids, are completely different. As we have seen in Chap. 7 with macroscopic traffic simulation, flow processes are also taken as a model for applications in which no substance flows in the traditional sense.
