ABSTRACT
With so much development in numerical methods, the field of computational mechanics has become sufficiently mature to collect & summarize it in a portable format. It has been the intention to provide the community with a systematic, established as well as recently developed computational methods, covering computational mathematics, computer sciences, various branches of fluid mechanics & all the available discretization methods.
Introduction to CFD
Breaking down the CFD into 2 parts, Computational – having to do with mathematics, modeling; Fluid Dynamics – the study of the things that flows.
This is CFD- a computational technology that enables us to study the dynamics of things that flow. Using CFD, we can build a computational model that represents a system or device that we want to study. Then we apply the fluid flow physics & chemistry to this virtual prototype & the software will output a prediction of fluid dynamics & related physical phenomenon. Therefore, CFD is a sophisticated computationally based design & analysis technique. CFD software gives us the power to simulate flows of gases & liquids, heat & mass transfer, moving bodies, multiphase physics, chemical reaction, fluid structure interaction & Acoustics through computer modeling. Using CFD software, we can build a ‘virtual prototype’ of the system or device that we wish to analyze & then apply real-world physics & chemistry to the model, & the software will provide us with images & data, which predict the performance of that design. In simple words CFD can be stated as the analysis of the
