Computational fluid dynamics CFD software

Software & technology · O*NET

Computational fluid dynamics CFD software is a software tool tracked in the Analytical or scientific software category of O*NET's Technology Skills file. It appears in the technology profile of 6 occupations that together employ about 574,250 workers, with a median wage of $109,660.

Across the occupations that use it, the work is 77th percentile for AI task-exposure (High) — how much of what those jobs do overlaps with what today's AI can attempt. That measures the exposure of the work, not the value of the tool or any sign it is being replaced. See where every tool category sits →
