CFD

• What does CFD stand for?

  computational fluid dynamics
• What does CFD do?

  simulates the flow of fluids or gases in or around a product such as vehicles
• What is an example of where CFD would be used?

  a vehicle design to test in a simulated wind tunnel to evaluate drag created by air flow over external surfaces
• What is another example of where CFD could be used that isn’t cars?

  designing boats which are tested in a wave tank to evaluate how efficiently water flows around the boats surfaces
• Why is CFD good?

  saves time and money on physical models, prototypes and specialist wind tunnels and wave tanks
