ADVANCED TOOL FOR FLUID DYNAMICS-CFD AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN AUTOMOTIVE, AERODYNAMICS AND MACHINE INDUSTRY

Today Automotive, Aerospace and Machine industry is striving for better Efficiency and Design. Advanced tools like Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) may be used for improving the fuel efficiency of these and hence controlling the atmospheric air pollution. In this paper, CFD analysis software is used a) to study fluid flow and detect the cavitation in centrifugal pump to find out safe operating conditions b) to find out effect of front shape to improve drag coefficient of a car. The results of the simulation shows, how CFD can be used to study flow distribution, pressure loss, thermal distribution (cooling and climate control) in the field of Automotive, Aerospace and Machine industries.
