Race Cars and Missile Tests: An Overview of Computational Fluid Dynamics

STEMe

Compared to the other two more traditional methods, one of which is solving complex equations by hand, CFD is the most cost-effective and efficient method, meaning it can be applied to a variety of engineering fields on a much larger scale. Finally, engineers will attempt to integrate these variable measurements into the physical prototype.

A 50-Year Quest: My Personal Journey with the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But even as I was developing the critical-to- Wolfram-Language -to-this-day paradigm of basing everything on transformations for symbolic expressions, as well as leading the software engineering to actually build SMP, I was also continuing to think about physics and its foundations. But what about their engineering?
