CFD – The Basic What, Why and How?

CFD – The Basic What, Why and How?

December 10th, 2015

Wilde recently held a CFD awareness webinar focusing on typical issues to be considered before a CFD software package is purchased or a technical consultant is engaged in order to maximise ROI. The webinar recording is now available to view online.

At Wilde Analysis, we are helping an increasing number of engineering departments, across different industries, embrace simulation technology to design, analyse and optimise their product design. Some recent examples can be found here.

However, for those new or inexperienced in modelling fluids (liquids, gases, suspended solids), the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can be daunting – options and opinions on how to accurately capture the physics are numerous, varied and often conflicting or confusing.
