Computational fluid dynamics

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a way of using a computer to simulate how air and other liquids flow around a certain device. CFD lets us look at how the air that comes around an airplane, a duct, a wind turbine or a car can affect its performance. We can use CFD to see how the air will move around the object, how fast it will move, what pressure and temperature it will have and even when there will be turbulence. This way, we can make sure the object will work perfectly before actually building it.
