Structural Analysis
Flow Simulation
Analysis of products involving flow of gases and liquids with heat transfer
Objectives include reduction of testing time and prototyping, cost reduction, improvement in overall efficiency, performance and quality of final product. Analysis: - Internal and External Flow - Laminar and turbulent flow - Rotating coordinate frames - Incompressible and Compressible Fluids - Heat Transfer Analysis (Convection, conduction, and radiation) Common Applications: - Pressure drop across devices (Filter and Pump efficiency, fan curve determination) - Heat transfer effects (heat exchanger efficiency, electronics cooling, injection molding device cooling, thermal distribution for stress analysis**, solar towers, solar heating, brake design, oil cooler design) - Flow Fields (Aerodynamic testing, Cavitation prediction, intake and Exhaust manifold design, Automotive engine in-cylinder flows) Mixing Processes (Air conditioning duct design, spray nozzles, cleansing process, bathroom faucet mixers) - Force Predictions (aerodynamic coefficients, operational forces for valves, wind loads on buildings, bridges, etc., flow-induced loads for stress analysis, cleaning systems, torque prediction) |
