What is CFD?

CFD, short for Computational Fluid Dynamics, is a branch of fluid mechanics that employs numerical methods, algorithms, and advanced computer simulations to analyze and solve problems related to fluid flows. It involves the study of how fluids, such as gases and liquids, behave and interact with their surroundings under various conditions and scenarios. CFD plays a crucial role in industries like aerospace, automotive, energy, and environmental engineering, helping design engineers and scientists optimize product performance, improve efficiency, and reduce costs through virtual prototyping and analysis. By simulating and visualizing fluid flow phenomena, CFD enables the exploration and prediction of complex flow behavior, providing valuable insights for making informed decisions in engineering and design processes.
