Industrial CFD and Fluid Modeling in Engineering-2nd Edition

Following the success of the first edition of “Industrial CFD and Fluid Modeling in Engineering”, this second edition continues to showcase cutting-edge research that pushes the boundaries of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in addressing complex industrial flow problems. In recent decades, advances in CFD algorithms and computing power have enabled simulations that were previously infeasible. Yet, applying CFD to realistic industrial scenarios remains challenging due to complex geometries, multiphysics couplings, and the need for validated modeling assumptions. The first edition laid a strong foundation by bringing together leading ideas in industrial flow modeling, with a particular emphasis on RANS validation in practical geometries and emerging CFD strategies. In this second edition, we build upon that foundation with 13 new contributions that highlight innovative methodologies and diverse applications—from improved turbulence models and optimization techniques to multiphase flow simulations—reflecting both continuity with the prior collection and significant new advancements. Each paper in this Special Issue illustrates how researchers are addressing challenges in industrial fluid mechanics through novel CFD approaches, collectively advancing the state of the art in the field.
