Other Industries That Benefit From CFD Applications

In addition to naval architecture and marine engineering, CFD is routinely used today in a wide variety of disciplines and industries, including:

• Aerospace — analysis of composite structures, crack propagation and fatigue, quiet aircraft technology
• Automotive —external car aerodynamics analysis, combustion in engines analysis, valve and fuel injector CFD analysis
• Civil-Structural — structural analysis, smoke propagation
• Defense Systems — blast analysis, ballistic impact, small arms analysis, projectile containment
• Industrial Equipment and Manufacturing — metal forming, process optimization, dynamic response, heat exchangers
• Litigation Support — crash simulation, patent/trademark infringement, expert witness
• Turbomachinery — structural, thermal, and CFD analysis for rotating machinery
