ABSTRACT

The last fifty years has seen tremendous evolution in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) from getting steady-state pictures to transient fluid dynamic movies of scientific-exciting flow properties and engineering-relevant parameters (Sharma, 2016); from solving the flow in lower to higher dimensions—2D to 3D; over or inside simple to complex shaped solid objects; involving single physics to multi-physics; and in a single to multiple parallelized computers. Recent advances in CFD involve its integration with other tools and its use for multiphysics simulations (incorporating structural, thermal, fluid, and electromagnetic analysis)—called computer aided engineering.
