Webinar | The Leadership Odyssey: Transforming Cost Management Into Competitive Advantage
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a numerical technique to simulate fluid flows and heat transfer. Although research and development in CFD have been ongoing for several decades, it has only recently been adopted by industry. Advances in computational technology have enabled engineers to apply this sophisticated method to complex problems. CFD can be extensively used in design, troubleshooting, and system optimization across various fields. As CFD is expected to become an essential component in many mechanical, civil and process studies, it is crucial for professionals involved in those fields to understand this advanced, computer-based tool.
This webinar will introduce the fundamentals of CFD and its applications across various fields. Participants will gain an understanding of fundamentals of CFD and some of its common applications in industry. They will also gain insight into the multiple steps to perform a CFD study, as well as the advantages and limitations of CFD.
This session will be held through ON24.
