In [[computational fluid dynamics]], the '''projection method''', also called '''Chorin's projection method''', is an effective means of [[Numerical analysis|numerically]] solving time-dependent [[incompressible flow|incompressible fluid-flow]] problems. It was originally introduced by [[Alexandre Chorin]] in 1967<ref>

as an efficient means of solving the incompressible [[Navier-Stokes equation]]s. The key advantage of the projection method is that the computations of the [[Flow velocity|velocity]] and the pressure fields are decoupled.

==Helmholtz–Hodge decomposition==
The theoretical background of projection type method is the decomposition theorem of [[Olga Aleksandrovna Ladyzhenskaya|Ladyzhenskaya]] sometimes referred to as Helmholtz–Hodge Decomposition or simply as Hodge decomposition. It states that the vector field <math>\mathbf{u}</math> defined on a [[simply connected space|simply connected]] ___domain can be uniquely decomposed into a divergence-free ([[Solenoidal vector field|solenoidal]]) part <math>\mathbf{u}_{\text{sol}}</math> and an [[Conservative vector field#Irrotational vector fields|irrotational]] part <math>\mathbf{u}_{\text{irrot}}</math>.
