Computational Fluid Dynamics
Engineering & Applied Technologies Dictionary
Definition
A set of numerical methods and associated workflows for approximating solutions of the governing conservation equations of fluid mechanics (mass, momentum, energy, species) on discretized spatial and temporal domains; practical CFD couples discretization schemes, boundary and initial conditions, turbulence/closure models, linear/nonlinear solvers, and mesh management to compute flow fields and der
