Marker-and-cell method
The marker-and-cell method is commonly used in computer graphics to discretize functions for fluid and other simulations.[1] It was developed by Francis Harlow and his collaborators at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.[2] The method uses a staggered grid, with the pressure stored at the center of each cell and each velocity component at the middle of the cell faces across which it flows.[3]
