Lid-Driven Cavity

The Lid-Driven Cavity is a classic computational fluid dynamics problem that involves simulating the flow of a viscous fluid inside a square cavity, where the lid is set in motion while the other boundaries remain stationary. This classic benchmark test is commonly used to assess the accuracy and efficiency of numerical methods in capturing complex fluid behavior, including the formation of vortices and boundary layer development. Here, I iteratively solve the Pressure Poisson Equation with the aid of other numerical methods.

Astrodynamics: Planet Defense (DART)

"An on-orbit demonstration of asteroid deflection is a key test that NASA and other agencies wish to perform before any actual need is present. The DART mission is NASA's demonstration of kinetic impactor technology, impacting an asteroid to adjust its speed and path. DART is the first-ever space mission to demonstrate asteroid deflection by kinetic impactor. The spacecraft launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket out of Vandenberg Space Force Base in California." - JHUAPL
