I do like CFD (cfdbooks.com)

This book can be very useful when developing computational fluid dynamics softwares or even doing theoretical fluid dynamics work.

There are very few comprehensive lists of verification cases for these softwares. This is one which comes to mind. My impression is that the tests are passed on through word of mouth, assuming any tests are done at all. This is far from ideal. A more or less standardized series of tests would be very useful to compare different softwares.

A more extensive section on the RANS equations in different coordinate systems (like the author did with the full NS equations) would be appreciated too. For example, I've never seen the Reynolds stress transport equations in axisymmetric coordinates. They would be very useful in many contexts. I plan to derive them myself early in the coming year, putting them in an appendix in my dissertation.

Glad that'a not contracts for difference.
Perhaps quite ironically, trading CFDs is completely tax free for Belgian tax residents to the best of my knowledge.
Yep, the domain name doesn’t help with disambiguation either.
Doesn't surprise me. I've worked in computational fluid dynamics and never heard of contracts for difference until now. This is despite taking a measure theoretic probability class and being one of the few people who were not studying to a quant. Most of the examples were motivated by finance. The author of the website/book likely has had a similar experience.
