CFD Basic

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the process of using computers to simulate the behavior of fluids such as air and water moving past solid objects. CFD solves equations for mass, momentum, and energy conservation on a computational grid to calculate velocity, pressure, and temperature fields throughout the domain. CFD allows engineers to test designs virtually before building prototypes, saving time and money. The basic CFD steps involve preprocessing, solving, and postprocessing on a computational grid representing the geometry. CFD has applications in aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and other industries.

What is CFD ?
 CFD is the process of solving the fluid
flow equations of mass, momentum and
energy on a computer as applied to a
particular geometry and flow conditions.
The basic flow variables such as velocity,
pressure and temperature are computed at
thousands of locations. The CFD solution is
based on the first-principle of conservation
of mass, momentum and energy
Why use CFD?
Engineering problems, equipment or
process design and modifications can first be
tested with computer simulations before
investing time and money in expensive
prototypes and tests.
How Does CFD Work ?
 Fluent solves are based on finite volume method.
- The integral form of governing equations are used
Using Finite Volume Method, the solution domain is s
ubdivided 
into a finite number of small control volumes by a grid
Using Finite Volume Method the solution
domain is subdivided

The conservation equations are solved on each control 
volume taking into account the effect of neighbors
