Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has long had the reputation of being too difficult, too slow, and too expensive for everyday bench-level engineers. A decade ago, this was true. But CFD has changed.

Fluid-flow software is easier to learn and use than its outdated reputation would have you think. Until recently, many users of CAE software viewed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as a luxury item.

Two-phase flow and boiling heat transfer are central to the design, efficiency, and safety of thermal-hydraulic systems such as oil and gas transport, boilers, steam generators, heat exchangers, ...
