This section is dedicated to fluid dynamics tutorials. Some of these tutorials are available at no cost, while others have a relatively affordable price.
The effort required to create, document, and comment on these tutorials is significant, and the knowledge involved has been accumulated through years of application and study. For these reasons, we request a small contribution for downloading them.
They are divided by analisys type and model characteristic. Some of them have a didactical pourpose while some others explain tips & triks in fluidynamic analysis.
In any case you need to compile the form even to download free of charge tutorials.
