Abstract

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has revolutionized the design and analysis of aerospace systems by providing detailed insights into fluid flow behaviors without the need for extensive physical testing. This paper explores the application of CFD in aerospace engineering, focusing on its role in optimizing aerodynamic performance, enhancing propulsion systems, and ensuring thermal management. Through the integration of advanced numerical methods and turbulence models, CFD facilitates the simulation of complex flow scenarios, including transonic and hypersonic regimes. The study also examines the challenges associated with mesh generation, solver stability, and computational cost. By reviewing recent advancements and case studies, this paper underscores the significance of CFD in modern aerospace engineering and its potential to drive innovation in aircraft and spacecraft design
