Advanced CFD

Introduction
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a science that, with the help of
digital computers, produces quantitative predictions of fluid-flow
phenomena based on the conservation laws (conservation of mass,
momentum, and energy) governing fluid motion..
Lots of Math
Lots of Programming
Math is used to describe the underlying behavior.
Programming is used to automate the task of solving and applying the math.
Simulating Aerodynamics
Simulating Piping Systems
Simulating Turbomachinery
Simulating Wind Turbines
With the advent of Simulation Modeling, engineers and designers
across all industries have gained access to an inexpensive way to test
their products in virtually any conditions.

Computational Fluid Dynamics in particular allows engineers to test

and improve designs of products where fluid flow, turbulence, and
heat transfer are vital calculations.
