The Advantages of Computational Fluid Dynamics

The improvements that CFD analysis can bring to the traditional design procedure concern the reduction of operative time and building material optimization.

Application of CFD software allows:

• cancellation of the costs of fluidodynamics experimentation equipment: CFD analysis enables you to virtually crawl inside your design and see how it performs
• minimization of the time necessary to process environment data and to obtain reasonable results: in a short time it's possible to predict how the design will perform, and test many variations until getting an optimal result
• no limits on the dimension or geometry of the model has to be analyzed
• direct and fast check of extreme boundary conditions effects on the structure: CFD is a tool for predicting what will happen under a given set of circumstances
• decrease in design and building costs thanks to the structural element optimization

In conclusion, CFD is a tool for compressing the design and development cycle allowing for rapid prototyping.
