Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is widely used in the engineering community to simulate all kinds of fluid flow phenomena, be it just fluid flow, or be it in a multi-physics scenario coupled with other physics solvers like e.g. with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of material behavior (like in an airplane wing design), or even more complex fluid-structure-electrical simulation of a living heart.
