A Functional Definition of Computational Fluid Dynamics
What does “Computational Fluid Dynamics” mean..?
“Computational” indicates something which has to do with mathematics, computing.
“Fluid Dynamics” means the dynamics of things that flow.
Therefore CFD is the branches of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows.
Our CFD model is an environment for multi physics simulation, using a stabilized (FIC) finite element method. This environment includes different modules that allow to solve Heat Transfer in both solid and fluids, Turbulence, Advection of Species in fluid and solids, Structural mechanics and Free Surface problems using the same stabilized scheme mentioned above. It also includes a module for geometry and data definition and post-processing of the analysis results.
CFD allows the building of a computational model of the system or device that has to be studied and then to apply real-world physics and chemistry to the model. The software will output a prediction of the fluid dynamics and related physical phenomena.
Finally, CFD is a sophisticated computationally-based design and analysis technique.
