Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a powerful tool that uses numerical analysis methods to study the behavior of fluids under complex geometries and boundary conditions. It can be used to solve a wide range of problems, from flows in pipes to aerodynamics, ventilation systems to fluid-structure interactions.

How CFD Works

CFD solves mathematical equations based on the fundamental physical principles governing fluid flow. These equations are solved numerically using computer programs, creating a detailed flow field image that shows the distribution of the fluid's velocity, pressure, temperature and other important parameters.

Benefits of CFD:

Ability to solve complex problems: CFD can be used to solve problems with complex geometries and boundary conditions that are difficult or impossible to solve by experimental methods.
Faster and cheaper solutions: CFD can provide solutions in a faster and cheaper way compared to experimental testing.
Design optimization: CFD can be used to optimize designs and improve performance.
Better product development: CFD can help speed up the product development process and help you design better products.
Uses of CFD:

In-pipe flows: It can be used to analyze fluid flow in pipes and determine pressure drops, required power of pumps and valve sizes.
Aerodynamic flows: Can be used to analyze the aerodynamic performance of aircraft wings, fuselages and propellers.
Flows in ventilation systems: Can be used to analyze the performance of ventilation systems in buildings and optimize air quality.
Fluid and structure interaction (FSI) problems: It can be used to solve problems such as the effect of fluids on structures and how structures affect fluid flow.
