Computational Modelling
View examples of Computational ModellingComputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyse problems that involve fluid flows. Super computers are used to perform the calculations required to simulate the interaction of liquids with surfaces defined by boundary conditions.
Computational Fluid Dynamics can offer a cost effective analysis for initial design reviews. Where a large scale physical model would be required to ensure similarity is maintained between full scale prototype and model, the use of a physical model can become uneconomical.
