What is CFD?
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) provides a qualitative (and
sometimes even quantitative) prediction of fluid flows by means of
• mathematical modeling (partial differential equations)
• numerical methods (discretization and solution techniques)
• software tools (solvers, pre- and postprocessing utilities)
CFD enables scientists and engineers to perform ‘numerical experiments’
(i.e. computer simulations) in a ‘virtual flow laboratory’
