Recent Areas of Application For CFD

GROUP C-4 MEMBERS :  Pranav Nagane (16), Ganesh Naik (17), Manish Naik (18), Muthu Krishnan(19), Neil Yardi (20), Varad Nikam (21) Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)  is a science that uses data structures to solve issues of fluid flow -- like velocity, density, and chemical compositions.  This technology is used in areas like cavitation prevention, aerospace engineering, HVAC engineering, and way more. Below is a list of the most common CFD simulation applications in use today. 1. CFD Simulation for Preventing Cavitation Cavitation is the formation of vapor bubbles within a liquid and occurs when an object (such as a propellor) moves through the liquid. Cavitation can cause damage to propellers, nozzles, turbines, spillways, and valves.  Cavitation is a critical fluid dynamics problem that impacts a wide swath of engineering domains. The biggest issue? It’s very difficult to detect cavitation-caused damage to a component during physical stress testing — because the ...
