Solving the Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations on Oriented Curved Surfaces Discretized by Point Clouds

We present a meshfree numerical solver for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on oriented curved surfaces that are represented by surface point clouds. On curved surfaces, numerical challenges pertaining to stiffness and pressure-velocity coupling are exacerbated. Moreover, vector calculus on curved surfaces di...
