CFD-FASTRAN is a leading commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics

Computational fluid dynamics

Computational fluid dynamics, usually abbreviated as CFD, is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows. Computers are used to perform the calculations required to simulate the interaction of liquids and gases with...

(CFD) software for aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic applications. It is specifically designed to support the aerospace

Aerospace

Aerospace comprises the atmosphere of Earth and surrounding space. Typically the term is used to refer to the industry that researches, designs, manufactures, operates, and maintains vehicles moving through air and space...

 industry. It employs multiple moving body capability for simulating most complex aerospace problems including missile launch, maneuvering and staging, and aircraft flight dynamics and store separation. These challenging applications are enabled by coupling a density based compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes flow solver with moving multi-body dynamics, generalized finite rate chemistry and thermal non-equilibrium modules
