  This website supports the text-based first level graduate exposition on weak formulation of optimal performance algorithms in incompressible-thermal computational fluid dynamics (CFD).  Weak form theorization is always completed in the continuum! with spatial discrete implementation an independent post-theory decision.
    The choice of finite element (FE) trial space basis for this task enables conversion of theory to computable form using calculus and vector field theory.  In code practice it supports precise handling of the explicit nonlinearities pervading laminar and time averaged (turbulent) Navier-Stokes PDE systems. A rich theory underlies this decision, text topic exposed in timely fashion supporting quantitative validation of optimality in the peer group in classic point and integral norms.
