Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

CFD uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems involving fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, and related physics.

🚀 Core Areas

  • Navier–Stokes solvers
  • Turbulence (LES, RANS, DNS)
  • Compressible & incompressible flow
  • Heat transfer
  • Multi-phase flows
  • Boundary-layer modeling
  • High-performance parallel CFD
