Chorin has made fundamental, unconventional, and highly original contributions to the emergent field of computational fluid dynamics, including the qualitative and quantitative description of fluid flows of all types and regimes: incompressible, gas-dynamic, laminar, incipiently turbulent, unstable, fully turbulent, chemically reacting (as in flames and detonation waves), and crystallizing. |
