Can use turbulence modeling and lamina flow of course but even then the software is complex.
If you want to learn more get a book on fluid dynamics from the library. I always stand by my recommendation of this book for water block design. Probably need a book on fluid mechanics as well as it is light in that area.

White is quite good but there is a huge range of text books when it comes to fluid mechanics.

To do the analysis to the standard that i think that you want needs an engineering degree + maybe a pHd. After that you might come back and edit your question because it is too hard. |
Thanks, duely noted! I think I'll stop asking about it now and just try the trial and error method.
