Computational Fluid Dynamics
Also known as: CFD, fluid dynamics simulation, fluid simulation
Simulating how air or fluid moves around a structure so you can see the loads, the flow, and the failure before anything is built.
Computational Fluid Dynamics
CFD models how air, water, or wind load behaves around a structure — pressure on a façade, flow through a gap — so you can watch the behaviour in software before committing to steel and concrete.
It taught me to instrument a system and let it fail safely in simulation. That habit moved straight into AI work: model the audience, the load, the edge case first, and you spend far less learning it in production.
