What is computational fluid dynamic

What is computational fluid dynamics?
• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the science of predicting
fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reactions, and
related phenomena by solving the mathematical equations which
govern these processes using a numerical process.
• The result of CFD analyses is relevant engineering data used in:
– Conceptual studies of new designs.
– Detailed product development.
– Troubleshooting.
– Redesign.
• CFD analysis complements testing and experimentation.
– Reduces the total effort required in the laboratory
