Early in my career I worked in a position where I modeled hydrodynamic and thermodynamic systems. The technique we used in that work was generally called finite-element modeling, where we broke each system down into a large number of cells, and used equations for each cell that described the liquid-flow (hydrodynamic) and/or heat-transfer (thermodynamic) in and out of each cell.
