The growing need for accuracy in simulations to help minimize testing led to the incorporation of multi-physics capabilities into CFD tools, such as the inclusion of heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reactions, particulate flows, and more. This ubiquity is part of why there are so many CFD tools, commercial, and open-source software available today. However CFD isn’t only an analysis tool, it is now used to make design improvements without having to resort to time-consuming and expensive physical testing for every design/operation point that is being evaluated. The past decade saw a wider adoption of CFD as a critical tool for engineers and equipment designers to study or predict the behavior of their designs. Evolution of engineering applications for CFD This fact alone is enough proof to show the new age of CFD has arrived. The end of 2021 and beginning of 2022 saw the two largest commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool vendors, Ansys and Siemens, both launch versions of their flagship CFD tools with support for GPU acceleration. Now is such a critical and transitional moment for the largest single segment of industrial high-performance computing (HPC). When a technology reaches the required level of maturity, adoption transitions from those considered visionaries to early majority adopters.
