Computational fluid dynamics

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) stands for the description of the properties of fluid by solving physical equations using computational methods. CFD together with experiments and mathematical analysis helps to understand phenomena detected in fluids. CSC provides outstanding facilities for performing CFD. Our CFD experts have a wide experience in modeling fluid phenomena and we have an extensive selection of commercial software for CFD and powerful supercomputers to carry out the computations. Moreover, we provide training in the field of CFD.
