Airflow simulation for pc cases ;)

[Skybuck Flying]

Hello,

So far gpu's seem to be very good at "particle simulations".

One interesting application could be "airflow simulations for pc cases"


So next time I am interested in buying a pc case... I simply download a 3D
model of it...

Active some fans in it... <- would be cool...

And then I could see the airflow in action in 3D preferably realtime... to
know if it's a good case or not !

And hopefully the simulation will be realistic !

Doesn't seem to though to do ?

Must know theory about air flow equations or so ?

Any theory out there ?

Otherwise wing it ! =D

Also if heat equations could be added even better !

Bye,
Skybuck =D

If you want to model something then you must know how it behaves. So, yes.

Any theory out there ?

You could take a look at fluid dynamics implementations of the finite element method.
