Answer 1

CFD has two meanings.

1. Computational fluid dynamics refers to "one of the branches of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows" (Wikipedia).
2. CFD also refers to Contacts for Difference which is a type of investment. "a contract between two parties, typically described as "buyer" and "seller", stipulating that the seller will pay to the buyer the difference between the current value of an asset and its value at contract time. (If the difference is negative, then the buyer pays instead to the seller.)" (Wikipedia)

Answer 2

In terms of finance, the acronym cfd stands for "contract for difference," which refers to a contract that occurs between a buyer and a seller. In this contract, the seller of an asset agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the value of the asset when it is bought and when it is sold. However, if that difference is negative, the buyer will pay the seller the difference.
