CFD Market Overview

Neil Barton

Hi,

I am planning on presenting an overview of CFD to a non-technical audience and I am looking for a few facts I can use in my presentation.

In particular I'd like to get a feel for the size and breakdown of the CFD market (I realise this has been partially addressed in previous discussions):

How many commercial and academic users are there out there?

How do the market sectors break down by percentage? (e.g. 50% aerospace, 25% auto, 10% process etc..?)

How does the market break down geographically? In particular I'm interested in the UK.

I'd also like a few amazing or amusing facts (e.g. What is the biggest CFD model run to date?)

Thanks for your help.

Neil
