ABSTRACT

Human civilization and human scientific endeavor are today witnessing immense challenges and drastic changes. Science and technology of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are in the midst of deep scientific vision and introspection. This chapter gives a wider view of the scientific success and the deep scientific potential behind fluid dynamics and CFD with special emphasis on design of chemical engineering and petroleum engineering systems. Human civilization’s scientific prowess, the scientific vision, and the technological profundity will all lead a long and visionary way in the true emancipation and true realization of fluid dynamics and applied mathematical tools today. Applied mathematics and computational techniques today stand in the midst of vision and deep comprehension as human moves forward. In the present scientific scenario, CFD are of immense importance in chemical engineering and 260petroleum engineering. Fluid dynamics, most precisely CFD, has diverse applications in engineering science particularly chemical engineering and petroleum engineering. Multiphase flow is an area of immense research endeavor today. Fluid flow principles are in the heart of the vast domain of chemical engineering and mechanical engineering. CFD is the branch of fluid mechanics providing a cost-effective means of simulating real flows by the numerical solution of the governing equations. Technological vision and the scientific aim of CFD are enumerated in details in this well-researched treatise. The other goal and mission of this study are the applications of CFD in composite manufacturing processes. Technological validation and vast scientific motivation in the field of CFD applications in composite manufacture are the immediate necessities of research pursuit today. The author unfolds the scientific intricacies in the field of composites and polymer science.
