Numerical simulation deals with the modelling of a physical situation on a computer.
In Fluid Dynamics, the most commonly used equations are the Navier-Stokes equations. The codes available at VKI are used as an aid to decision-making by providing fast, reliable and low cost solutions of industriual flow problems and by helping in the design of future experimental approaches. In this manner, the Institute has acquired a strong know-how in the practical use of codes for solving Fluid Dynamics problems. Fluent is one of the world's leading flow modelling software companies. These codes are very powerful tools for numerical simulations and have been validated with experimental investigations.
