Free webinar from NAFEMS on Practical Applications of CFD

http://www.nafems.org/events/nafems/2011/cfdintro/

Description:

  

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.
