Examples

Step-by-step walkthroughs for common CFD applications using Gradient Dynamics Studio. Each example covers the complete workflow from geometry upload through results analysis.

External Aerodynamics

Vehicle Aerodynamics

Simulate airflow around a car at highway speed. Calculate drag and lift coefficients, visualize pressure distribution and wake structure.

Aircraft Wing

Analyze an aircraft wing section. Compute lift and drag, visualize pressure coefficient on upper and lower surfaces, examine tip vortex structure.

Internal Flow

Pipe Flow

Simulate turbulent flow through a pipe with bends. Analyze pressure drop, velocity profiles, and secondary flow patterns.

Rotating Machinery

Fan / Pump

Simulate a rotating fan or pump impeller using the Multiple Reference Frame (MRF) approach. Analyze performance curves and flow patterns.
