Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a powerful tool for the numerical analysis and simulation of fluid flows, revolutionizing research and development in various scientific and engineering disciplines. This review paper aims to provide an extensive analysis
of the principles, methodologies, applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics. We delve into the fundamentals of CFD, including governing equations, numerical discretization techniques, turbulence modeling. Additionally, the paper explores the wide array of applications of CFD across diverse fields, such as aerospace engineering, automotive design, environmental modeling, biomedical simulations, renewable energy systems. Moreover, we discuss the challenges and future prospects in the advancement of CFD techniques, paving the way for more accurate and efficient computational simulations.
