Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a branch of engineering and applied mathematics that uses numerical methods and computer simulations to analyze how gases and liquids flow and interact with surfaces. Engineers in aerospace, automotive, HVAC, and marine design use CFD software like ANSYS Fluent or OpenFOAM to model airflow, drag, heat transfer, and combustion without needing costly physical wind-tunnel tests. It requires strong backgrounds in fluid mechanics, numerical analysis, and programming.
