computational fluid dynamics
can anyone explain?

jignesah.jCFD is predicting what will happen, quantitatively, when fluids flow, often with the complications of:
- simultaneous flow of heat,
[*]mass transfer (eg perspiration, dissolution),
[*]phase change (eg melting, freezing, boiling), - chemical reaction (eg combustion, rusting),
[*]mechanical movement (eg of pistons, fans, rudders),
[*]stresses in and displacement of immersed or surrounding solids.
- building-services engineers and architects to provide comfortable and safe human environments;
- power-plant designers to attain maximum efficiency, and reduce release of pollutants;
- chemical engineers to maximize the yields from their reactors and processing equipment;
- land-, air- and marine-vehicle designers to achieve maximum performance, at least cost;
- risk-and-hazard analysts, and safety engineers, to predict how much damage to structures, equipment, human beings, animals and vegetation will be caused by fires, explosions and blast waves.
- metropolitan authorities need to determine where pollutant-emitting industrial plant may be safely located, and under what conditions motor-vehicle access must be restricted so as to preserve air quality;
- meteorologists and oceanographers to foretell winds and water currents; - hydrologists and others concerned with ground-water to forecast the effects of changes to ground-surface cover, of the creation of dams and aquaducts on the quantity and quality of water supplies;
- petroleum engineers to design optimum oil-recovery strategies, and the equipment for putting them into practice;
- ... and so on.
- simultaneous flow of heat,

gohmjignesah.j gave you a great little intro into cfd. Did you have a specific question, it's kind of a broad category to discuss cfd in entirety. For some futher readingtry these for starters:
