NAVIER_STOKES_2D_EXACT
Exact solutions to the
2D Incompressible Time-Dependent Navier Stokes Equations

NAVIER_STOKES_2D_EXACT, a C++ library which evaluates exact solutions to the incompressible time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations over an arbitrary domain in 2D.

• Lucas: steady flow, pressure is zero everywhere;
• Spiral: velocity is zero on the boundary of the unit square;
• Taylor: source term is zero everywhere.
