11. Computational Fluid Dynamics

11. Computational Fluid Dynamics

The chapter introduces computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as a method for solving fluid flow equations, emphasizing the significance of the Navier-Stokes equations and the continuity equation in fluid dynamics. It details the approaches of experimentation and calculations in CFD, outlining the procedures for validating computational solutions against experimental data. The chapter also discusses turbulence modeling and the importance of accuracy in simulations, especially in the context of laminar versus turbulent flow modeling.
