Fluid simulations see an ever-wider board of applications
to cross.
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 ...
