Engineering Fluid Dynamics 2019-2020: Volume 1

Abstract

Over the last few decades, the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and experimental fluid dynamics (EFD) methods have penetrated into all fields of engineering. CFD is now becoming a routine analysis tool for design in some fields (e.g., the aerodynamics of vehicles), and its implementation in other fields (e.g., chemical and marine application) is quickly being adopted. Additionally, in the last decade, open source software has had a tremendous impact on the use of CFD. Laser-based methods have also made significant improvements in the methods used to obtain data for the validation of the CFD codes.
