BECAUSE OF ITS ABILITY to simulate fluid flow digitally, computational fluid dynamics software has become a widely used tool in engineering, biomedical, and environmental research and development in the past few years. But Milovan Peric, who until last year was a professor of fluid dynamics at Harburg-Hamburg University in Germany, sees more to come.
Peric, a coauthor of the book Computational Methods for Fluid Mechanics (Springer-Verlag, 1999), predicts that CFD will become even more widely used in these fields because universities are teaching CFD techniques more than ever. In addition, the technology is getting easier to use, which makes it more accessible to ...
