Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the intersection of three main disciplines: Fluid Dynamics, Computational Methods, and Numerical Algorithms. It is an essential ingredient in the modern engineering of stable aerodynamic, hemodynamic and hydraulic systems, as it has the capability to predict the flow motions for a specific system design, but also enables the researcher the opportunity to study the system's reaction to additional sets of physical conditions. Indeed, applied CFD has been an important cornerstone for optimization towards market requirements for modern transportation, including space, air, road, rail and water transport. CFD has been successfully employed with such efficiency that it has become a widespread and powerful tool in the clinical assessment and research of cardiovascular hemodynamics as well as providing crucial insights which have resulted in advances in construction management regarding building energy consumption, integrated awareness of environmental impact, and the efficiency of ventilation and cooling systems, amongst many other successes.
