Each of these simulation techniques has its place for fluid problems. Here’s how to pick which is best for yours. Finite element analysis (FEA) is primarily used to predict how external forces affect ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations have been used in the aerospace industry for decades to create lightweight designs, improve aerodynamics, reduce friction during high velocity scenarios ...

High-resolution CFD simulations show that upstream flow aeration leaves hydraulic jump energy dissipation nearly unchanged ...

Researchers have developed improved analytical models for flow curvature effects and a novel actuator line method that ...

Computer-aided flow simulation helps researchers design more efficient aircraft and thus reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Airbus, ONERA and DLR have cooperated closely since 2017 on the ...

With thermal issues and constraints increasing becoming integral concerns of electronics design, computational fluid dynamics technology is gaining traction as a way to model, analyze, predict, and ...

CFD, or Computational Fluid Dynamics, is the use of computer simulations to predict how fluids like air or coolant move around and through objects. In car design, "fluid" mostly means airflow. It's ...

As winter settles in and the snowflakes begin to fall, it’s time to dust off those curious minds and prepare for some seriously fun—and slightly nerdy—computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations!
