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...

 to optimize wind turbine

Wind turbine

A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity, the device may be called a wind generator or wind charger. If the mechanical energy is used to drive machinery, such as for grinding grain or...

History

WindSim was first developed by Vector AS, a consulting firm, as an internal tool used to build the Norwegian Wind Atlas http://www.windsim.com/wind_energy/wind_atlas/index.html in cooperation with Norwegian Meteorological Institute http://met.no.

WindSim was productized for PC platforms in 2003.

The software developer and the software product are both named "WindSim".
