5. Glossary

Algorithm; algorithm

Procedure describing a systematic approach to solving a problem or completing a task in a given number of steps, using a specific sequence of elementary operations (arithmetic or logic).

CFD

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation involves using a calculation code to solve the equations governing the flow of a fluid, otherwise described by its behavior law and the volumes in which it flows. The finite volume technique is the most widely used in CFD for applications of interest to engineers.

CSD

Computational structural dynamics (CSD) consists in using a calculation code that takes into account the geometry of the system under study, the mathematical laws translating the mechanical behavior...
