Definition of numerical domain around geometry of interest (for example thruster unit)
Numerical domain is split in large number of small cells -> grid or mesh with about 1.000.000 cells
Velocity and pressure are solved in each cell
Results of velocity field and pressure distribution are analyzed. This provides among others forces on the thruster: Propeller thrust Nozzle thrust Resistance of thruster house
