Computational Fluid Dynamics Principles and Applications

Two-phase Flow

Computational Fluid Dynamics Principles and Applications : The history of Computational Fluid Dynamics, or CFD for short,, started in the early 1970’s. Around that time, it became an acronym for a combination of physics, numerical mathematics, and, to some extent, computer sciences em- ployed to simulate fluid flows. The beginning of CFD was triggered by the availability of increasingly more powerful mainframes and the advances in CFD are still tightly coupled to the evolution of computer technology. Among the first applications of the CFD methods was the simulation of transonic flows based on the solution of the non-linear potential equation. With the beginning of the 1980’s, the solution of first two-dimensional (2-D) and later also three- dimensional (3-D) Euler equations became feasible.
