Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a technique used to simulate fluid flow on a computer. Until recently, the computing power required for the complicated mathematics restricted the use of CFD to academic institutions, government agencies and large corporations. The hardware and software advances made in recent years have resulted in CFD now becoming available as an engineering tool suitable for commercial use.

Engineering Sessions has bought NIKA's EFD.Lab, from MSC-Africa which is one such CFD package, to assist in it solving fluid related problems. More…
