You've probably heard the word "CFD" (Computational Fluid Dynamics) plenty of times when going through some technicalities inside the automotive world. In the article below, we'll try to explain how ...

New solver improves stability and the results on poor meshes. The latest release of ANSYS Fluent 17.0 has made many improvements that will help experienced computational fluid dynamic (CFD) engineers ...

Automakers including Volvo and Honda are reporting significant reductions in computational fluid dynamics run times, with ...

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 ...

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 ...

In ye ole’ days, engineers used to rely solely on experience, and later on wind tunnels to develop the aerodynamic treats of their creations, most of the time doing a complicated process, which was ...

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 ...

The Coordinated Research Project (CRP) addresses the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) computer codes to the process of optimizing the design of water cooled Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) ...

CFD is a technology that uses a computer to simulate fluid flows, heat transfer and combustion processes. It numerically solves the fundamental partial differential equations that govern the fluid ...
