Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used widely by every field of engineering for solving critical problems that entail the phenomena such as flow of fluids, heat transfer, mass transfer and chemical reaction. In many industrial and engineering processes this tool is used for investigating and predicting flow behavior.CFD techniques have been widely applied to the field of water Conservancy Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Structural Engineering, and Industrial Engineering with the continuous development in the field of computers. This paper summarizes the theoretical basisand computational process of CFD,Numerical calculation methods. Finally, CFD technology in the Civil engineering related applications are summarized. It is hoped that this review will help researchers in the field of Civil engineering. 

Keywords: Computational Fluid Dynamics, Civil Engineering, Fluid Flow Problems.
