Abstract

The optimal design and the properties of flowing fluids are calculated and predicted by a computer aided tool which is known as the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This is a simulation tool which creates numerical models for any required sources. This review paper shows the application of CFD in various sectors like – refrigeration, indoor dwelling environment - air conditioning, nanotechnology, machinery design, biotechnology processes, medical sciences, energy engineering etc. The paper puts together the compilation of advantages, applications and the future scope of CFD.
