Abstract
Describes the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) by ERA Technology Ltd. to investigate heat transfer and airflow in electronic systems. Because computing time is the limiting factor in simulating most real problems, techniques for simplifying the representations are described. This is followed by an example which shows that, with the simplifying assumptions used, accurate results may still be obtained
