How does a surfboard perform when submitted to a pressure distribution analysis? Riccardo Rossi is an Italian scientist. He works with high-end automobile manufacturers to help them improve car aerodynamics. But Rossi is also a passionate surfer, so he thought he could have a say in surfboard performance. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) allows us to have a better and deeper understanding of what’s going on on the surfboard. With CFD, you get a comprehensive picture of the flow field, including variables like pressure, velocity, and turbulence.
