CFD is a software application that helps end-users analyze the flow, turbulence, and pressure distribution of liquids and gases and their interaction with structures. It also helps in predicting fluid flow, mass transfer, chemical reactions, and related phenomena. CFD uses high-speed computers, various numerical methods, and solvers to simulate the flow of fluids (gases and liquids). Simulation refers to the digital prototype of the real-world scenario, which helps in detecting errors in designing before proceeding to production. CFD is widely used across industries such as the Automotive, Aerospace and Defense, Electronics and Semiconductor, and Energy. In the Automotive industry, CFD software is used to analyze the feasibility of the heat transfer mechanisms such as ventilation, cooling, underhood thermal management, and aerodynamics of an automobile.
