Naperville, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/25/2013 -- Reportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of Global Computational Fluid Dynamics Market 2012-2016 market report to its offering
Introduction to the market
Computational Fluid Dynamics (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. CFD is the science of predicting fluid flow, mass transfer, chemical reactions, and related phenomenon. CFD technology employs high-speed computers, numerical methods, and solvers to simulate the flow of fluids (gases and liquids). These software solutions enable end-users simulate a product's real-world performance with a digital prototype, which helps them detect and rectify erroneous designs before proceeding to production. CFD is widely used across industries such as Automotive, Aerospace and Defense, Electronics and Semiconductor, and Energy. In the Aerospace and Defense industry, CFD is used to design fuel systems, engine core compartments, cockpit and cabin ventilation, missiles, submarines, etc., and also in aerodynamics design.
