Would this be enough to accurately simulate lift from an airfoil? Or do you need compressibility for that?

You don’t need compressible flow to generate lift. Any basic inviscid (Euler) 2D incompressible solver can be used to calculate lift. For drag you need to resolve the boundary layer and solve Navier Stokes.

Bridson also wrote a book - Fluid Simulation for Computer Graphics https://www.routledge.com/Fluid-Simulation-for-Computer-Grap... The first edition was really good on the nitty gritty implementation details.

It's a great book.

The first edition was basically these notes, with some additions and corrections.

The second edition (published in 2015) is more different. It was updated and reorganized to help clarify some common causes of confusion. I must admit that I liked the first edition better, but that may just be because I read it first.

You might also like "Fluid Engine Development" if this stuff is your cup of tea. I believe there is complete code with it. https://fluidenginedevelopment.org/

..and if it's really REALLY your cup of tea, join my research lab and do a PhD. :-)

No need for shame!

"He did not wait for students to come to him; he made inquiry for promising youthful collectors, and when he heard of one, he wrote, inviting and urging him to come. Thus there is hardly one now of the American naturalists of my generation whom Agassiz did not train." - William James, Louis Agassiz, 1896.

For context, Chris (batty above) was one of Robert’s best grad students.

If fluid simulation is your thing, Chris is one of the best people in the world to do a PhD with.

He’s also a very nice person. :)
