(Source: Siemens)   Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is a powerful tool for design and is used extensively for automotive, aeronautic, and marine design where air and water flows are vital to the performance of cars, planes, and boats. It has much broader applications as well. CFD comes in handy in content creation for simulating fire, smoke, lava flows, and even crowd movements. Being able to put CFD to work is a superpower, but it ain’t easy. It’s a matter of predicting the behavior of millions of particles that are always changing in 4D with complex interdependencies. Digital analysis of
