Write down the Navier-Stokes equation and explain its terms!
Which simplifications are made in CG applications?
inviscid: viscosity = 0

Can every compressible fluid be made incompressible? If so, is this a unique map?
yes with the map
𝛻^2𝜙 = 𝛻 ⋅ 𝑢
Where are velocities stored in co-located and staggered grids?
Collocated:

Which derivative connects the Eulerian and Lagrangian perspective on fluid simulation?
Material derivative
Explain the semi-Lagrangian fluid advection!
What are the conceptual steps of a MacCormack advection?
Forward advection, backward advection, error estimation, Back and forth error compensation and correction, MacCormack
Why do we need limiters in the MacCormack advection?
MacCormack advection can produce unbounded new extrema
