'CFD' encompasses the algorithmic pseudocode to implement Botlzman or Navier-Stokes [whichever] and the the dataspace where the computation takes place. Open VDB offers the latter.
I'm unsure what the term 'grid' means in terms of a 'spherical coordinate system.'
All the 'cells' are the same dimension.
There exist 'NO' a priori 'attributes' to any of the cells. They are all unknowns.
The 'word salad' that I provided includes some of the math required to 'define' each cell as the simulation proceeds. Just for giggles, let's think in the direction of solving for 1-billion unknowns. It's exponential compared to an aircraft.
