CFD is computer-based simulation of predicting what will 
happen when fluids (gases & liquids) flow. CFD complements 
experimental and analytical approaches by providing an 
alternative cost-effective mean of simulating real-life flow 
problems. CFD has now become a leading research, 
educational, and design tool. It is being used to better 
understand physical events and processes and perform 
numerical experiments. Most importantly, it has now become a 
design tool by providing capabilities to facilitate design 
optimization, reduce design bottlenecks and improve 
engineering performance, enhance communications, and answer 
what-if questions. CFD is now routinely used to solve 
complex flow problems in vast number of industrial 
applications. 

This webinar will focus on the new Practical Introduction to 
CFD e-learning training course being launched by NAFEMS, and 
will give a preview of the goals and objectives of this 
course.
