TECHNICONSULT simulations.
COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS (CFD)
A solution that enables evaluating the motion of fluids inside a system.
Numeric simulation for analysing thermal fluid dynamic issues.
CFD (Computational Fluid Dyamics) enables simulating local internal and external fluid dynamics in process equipment, and also makes it possible to solve heat exchange issues.
By using dedicated software, CFD solves the descriptive equations of fluid dynamics, namely, the Navier-Stokes equations, surpassing the technological limits derived from simplifications linked to the analytic solutions of these functions.
In this regard, CFD is a complementary branch to experimental and theoretical fluid dynamics, which through alternative and more economical methods enables testing the movement of system fluids, even in conditions that would otherwise make every other type of measurement impossible or extremely difficult.
CFD ADVANTAGES
CFD provides better results in relation to the single experimental fluid measurement; a competitive advantage that has become even more important thanks to the greater accessibility of technologies and skills.
Designing
Simulating the project by analysing the critical aspects and optimising time and costs.
Troubleshooting
Analysing the behaviour of existing systems by identifying the causes of malfunctions.
Product quality
Preliminary study of unique components to improve functionality.
System awareness
Criticality and operating limits analysis by increasing system robustness, including in terms of energy savings.
WORK FLOW
The different
phases of
a CFD
simulation
1.CREATING THE GEOMETRY
Modeling the system geometry with the help of CAD software and studying possible simplifications, as in the case of symmetries, for example.
2.SPATIAL DISCRETIZATION
Creating the calculation mesh with dedicated software.
3.SOLUTIONS AND POST-PROCESSING
Discretization of the PDEs equations system algebraically, system solution, and analysing results.
4.RESULTS ASSESSMENT
Benchmarking actions for assessing the degree of confidence that can be obtained from simulations. Feasible by running comparisons with case studies or experimental measures.
