The document discusses different methods for numerically solving the Navier-Stokes equations, including finite differencing. It outlines the principal components of numerical solution methods as the governing equations, discretization method, numerical grid or mesh, and solution method for the resulting algebraic equations. It then describes various types of structured and unstructured grids that can be used, such as Cartesian, cylindrical, block structured, triangular, and other element/cell types.
