With the advances in modern technology, Computational Fluid Dynamics is becoming increasingly popular. However, you may be wondering why Computational Fluid Dynamics is often the preferred method of modeling. You may be wondering what CFD provides that other methods of modeling cannot. While both physical model tests and CFD simulations have their own multitude of pros and cons, in my experience, it has become clear that CFD is not only usually cheaper and faster than other methods, but oftentimes, safer CFD allows for endless alterations in variables and provides the security that physical model tests cannot always provide. When working with dangerous gases, harmful fluids, or unsafe environments, CFD provides for a safer alternative. [Read more…] about Examples of How CFD is Cheaper, Faster, and Safer than Other Methods
