Computational fluid dynamics is an engineering analysis method used to understand how fluids flow in or around an object [1]. CFD analysis uses theoretical fluid dynamics models obtained from the Navier-Stokes equation to simulate how a specific fluid will flow around an object [1]. Other CFD software use the Lattice Boltzmann Method to solve CFD simulations [2]. By doing CFD analysis on a part you can drastically reduce the amount of prototypes and lower the development cost of the final product [1]. CFD has many applications as it can be used for anything that involves a fluid in motion. CFD can be used to simulate incompressible flow, compressible flow, laminar flow, turbulent flow, mass transport, and thermal transport [2]. The most common applications of CFD are HVAC, aerodynamics, heat transfer, turbomachinery, high-performance computing (HPC), electronics cooling, cleanrooms, and pipes and valves [2].
