can matlab be used for cfd, finite volume methods?

[Shubham]

how can matlab be used to solve CFD (computational fluid dynamics) problems.. to solve by Finite Volume Method?
MATLAB has NO toolbox for CFD, and i see no way how can i use it for CFD purpose.. please clear my doubt..

" how can matlab be used to solve CFD" ?

I guess by writing code?

"MATLAB has NO toolbox for CFD, and i see no way how can i use it for CFD
purpose"

So, if Matlab has no toolbox to do something, it means one can not implement
that something?

There are many examples of CFD code in matlab on the net, simply type (in
your browser) the following

"computational fluid dynamics matlab"
Results 1 - 10 of about 76,900 for computational fluid dynamics matlab.
(0.19 seconds)

"Finite Volume Method matlab"
Results 1 - 10 of about 45,900 for Finite Volume Method matlab. (0.23
seconds)

"Finite Volume Method computational fluid dynamics matlab"
Results 1 - 10 of about 85,100 for Finite Volume Method computational fluid
dynamics matlab. (0.29 seconds)

Thanks sir, for your reply.
Actually I am fairly new to MATLAB as well as CFD, and might stand nowhere near to you by experience and knowledge: Today being just my tenth day into my self study of CFD as well as MATLAB...

Till now, I have read through different descritisation schemes (central, Upwind, Hybrid, power law, and QUICK), and SIMPLE algorithm. It is all I know yet in CFD. (besides some knowledge of Transport Phenomena: Momentum transport, Navier-Stokes equations, Turbulent Flows etc).

Regarding MATLAB, i am trying to find how to use it for implementing SIMPLE (and SIMPLEC, SIMPLER, PISO) algorithms.

And ya i know what I had to type in my browser(and thanks anyway for telling this too), but sir I did it, but i couldnt find any help regarding how will I use MATLAB for above-said algorithms..

If I could see some example where a SIMPLE algorithm is implemented in MATLAB and where the 'corrected' pressure and velocity fields are estimated after repeated iteration s of guessed fields, I will be very thankful,

If you have searched for some specific matlab code which implements some
specific algorithm, and could not find it, then I could only suggest to post
this to the CFD newsgroup, and look for possibly a Fortran version and try
to convert it to Matlab, and if still unable to find it, then the next step
might be to actually implement the algorithm yourself.

good luck;
