This paper proposed research on wind computation fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis and visualization in scientific computing facing to OSG in order to obtain numerical result of aerodynamic characteristics stimulated by windmill and to display vivid and direct 3-D effect for easy observation experiment. This paper applied CFX module in ANSYS Workbench software to conduct CFD analysis and calculation of windmill through computer graphic display technology based on CFD principle and realize numerical stimulation of aerodynamic characteristics of windmill. Then the research on visualization in scientific computing of aerodynamic characteristics of windmill was realized combining with OSG software that face to virtual display technology.
