Ever since computational fluid dynamics (CFD) arose as a tool for predicting fluid motions engineers have looked to the day when it could be used reliably to supplement wind tunnel tests. Limits on computer speed and algorithm accuracy have prevented the development of a virtual wind tunnel. But now, a team from Ford Research has developed the capability that allows engineers to evaluate vehicle designs...
