Default F1: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

Source: Motorsport.com

Anyone have a personal experience/expertise ?

" The competitive nature of Formula 1 racing and the short time periods between races make it imperative for engineers to fully understand aerodynamic effects and move new designs to production with speed and confidence. Learning from high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and rapidly turning the results into design decisions is the rule at Red Bull Technology. "
