What is CFD and what are the different solver types utilized in CFD?

CFD stands for Computational Fluid Dynamics, a numerical approach used to simulate and analyze fluid flow, heat transfer, and other related phenomena in various applications. CFD involves solving mathematical equations that govern fluid behaviour, such as the Navier-Stokes equations, using numerical methods on a computational platform. There are several types of CFD solvers available, including Finite Difference, Finite Volume, Finite Element, Lattice Boltzmann, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes, Large Eddy Simulation, and Multiphysics solvers. The choice of solver depends on factors like the problem’s nature, geometry, and desired accuracy. This flexibility enables engineers and researchers to select the most suitable solver for their specific simulation requirements.
