Natural finite element techniques for viscous fluid motion

Abstract The paper surveys recent work on fluid dynamics performed at the ISD, University of Stuttgart. It is in particular directed to a natural description of the flow phenomena and includes also a consideration of thermally coupled problems. The derivation of the relevant finite element equations when referred to natural quantities is outlined and examples of application are given. Also presented is a discussion on the associated modern developments in numerical solutions techniques.
