Abstract

In this paper, we recount the history of artificial viscosity, beginning with its origin in previously unpublished and unavailable documents, continuing on to current research and ending with recent work describing its physical basis that suggests new directions for improvement. We focus on the underlying ideas that recognize the finiteness of scale and of measurement.
