Computational Fluid Dynamics

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses computers and numerical methods to analyze and simulate how fluids (like air or water) move and interact with their surroundings. By solving complex mathematical equations, CFD helps engineers predict flow patterns, pressure changes, and heat transfer in various applications, from designing airplanes and cars to optimizing water flow in pipes. This technology enables virtual testing and optimization, reducing the need for expensive physical prototypes, ultimately improving performance and safety in various fields, including aerospace, automotive, and environmental engineering.
