Computational Fluid Dynamics. Cranfield University

Why are we interested in Computational Fluid Dynamics? Fluid dynamics govern the rate of drug delivery to a cancerous cell, the drag experienced by an aircraft or the combustion efficiency of a rocket. It is key to predicting the heat transfer rates in complex heat exchangers, optimising the performance of wind turbines and estimating the potential scale of floods. Without Computational Fluid Dynamics we would have no weather forecast, none of the current aircraft, or even the special effects seen in blockbuster movies!
