Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Modeling

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling (simulations) use discrete numerical methods and algorithms to predict fluid flow properties throughout the fluid and at the fluid boundaries. This offers insight into the process beyond those typically available using sensors.

Benefits of CFD modeling include:

 • Detailed visualizations of 3-D flows and thermal fields.
 • Virtual flow prototyping with different test conditions.
 • Design and operational optimization.
 • Reduce costs of research, development, and testing.
