Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has long had the reputation of being too difficult, too slow, and too expensive for everyday bench-level engineers. A decade ago, this was true. But CFD has changed.

Aerodynamicists often have to use several different software packages to work computation fluid dynamics problems. The workhorse CFD program is fed by a separate mesh-generating program, and results ...

Gerhard started his career in automotive journalism in 2010, after finishing degrees in Communication, English, and Politics, and diplomas in Film and Art Appreciation and Graphic Design. He's ...

Most engineers are familiar with finite-element analysis and its usefulness in structural problems, but they aren't as well versed in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A goal plot looks like this ...

Engineers at Ilmor are using novel CFD software from Convergent Science to dramatically reduce prototype build costs for Indycar engines. Ilmor is the company behind the design of Chevrolet’s ...

Naval architecture and engineering firm Alan C. McClure Associates (ACMA) has recently completed a wind flow analysis on an offshore structure using its Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software ...
