Computational Modelling
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the process of
modelling fluid flows by the numerical solution of the governing
partial differential equations or other mathematical equations of
motion.
The CFD group at CSIRO Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics specialises in modelling continuum flows using both traditional Finite Element Methods (with its
own package Fastflo) and the Lagrangian technique of Smoothed
Particle Hydrodynamics.
The numerical simulation of particulate / granular flows is performed
using the Discrete Element Method.
The application of
these methods to complex industrial problems is of central interest to the CMIS CFD group.
The flexibility of the Fastflo package also
enables the modelling of the differential equations governing
finance-based applications, such as options pricing.
