Fluid mechanics/ dynamics: Definition

isothermal                     the temperature remains constant: ΔT =  0
homogeneous               the similar / same nature
inviscid flow                 the flow of an ideal fluid assuming to have no viscosity
monolithic                    fully coupled
barotropic                     pressure and density are related by an equation of state, there is no dependent variable such as temperature
compressible fluid flow density vary from place to place
streamwise                direction of a stream
no-slip BC                    fluid with a zero velocity related to the solid boundary
Taylor-Couette flow   vicous flow in concentric rotating cylinders
Kelvin’s theorem        a conservation law for angular momentum
Bubbly flow              bubble flow is defined as a Two-Phase Flow where small bubbles are dispersed or suspended as discrete substances in a liquid continuum. (thermopedia)

Doublet (potential flow) fluid flow due to a source–sink combination

IBM Platform Computing 
The leader in Clusters, Grids, and HPC Clouds

When you need to run more iterations, simulations, analysis and get business results sooner. When you have either big data and/or compute-intensive problems to solve. You need to maximize the potential of your computing power and the supporting infrastructure to accelerate your applications at scale, extract insight from your data, and make better decisions faster. You need IBM Platform Computing high-performance, low-latency systems management solutions and services to pool your technical computing resources, manage them efficiently across multiple groups and get the most out of your IT investment. Now even faster, with enhanced security, more flexibility and scale to over 150,000 cores, IBM can help you optimize and manage your first departmental cluster through highly secure multi-site grids and HPC clouds.
