FLUID DYNAMICS
Explore fluid behavior, predict outcomes, and optimize designs
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Fluid flow issues occur in all sectors of engineering and can range from simple laminar pipe flow to complex multi-phase phenomena involving turbulence, rotating components, conjugate heat transfer and chemical reactions.
We provide efficient fluid dynamics modeling solutions for all types and scale of equipment. This includes:
CFD Consulting Services
We undertake various computational fluid dynamics (CFD) consultancy and desktop study projects in most industries involving internal or external flows. Our dedicated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) team has extensive experience in both 1D and 3D simulation.
Talk to an expertSimulation Consulting Services
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) combines numerical analysis, data structures, and computer simulations to study fluid flows.
Helping operators and equipment manufacturers
Complementary to our other software and services for the Chemical & Process and Oil & Gas industries, we have significant experience in helping operators and equipment manufacturers upscale operations and increase throughput, efficiency & reliability through the adoption of CFD.
Mixing simulation
In addition to involvement in industrial mixing applications, our knowledge of modeling rotating equipment also extends to a range of turbomachinery applications, including centrifugal compressors and vertical/horizontal axis wind turbines.
Accurately modeling valve closure dynamics
Many software and consulting projects have featured valves, from regular pressure-flow characterization and derivation of loss coefficients to detailed erosion predictions involving particle tracking and standard & modified wear models.
We have refined a technique for accurately modeling valve closure dynamics, combining CFD with spreadsheets and equations of motion. Another innovative approach has been developed to efficiently simulate the actuation torque performance of ball valves under mainly incompressible flows.
Improving pedestrian comfort and safety
CFD is increasing being used to improve the environment in which we live, from improving pedestrian comfort and safety by mitigating adverse external wind flows induced by tall buildings and controlling pollution dispersion to optimising heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) for health and reduced energy consumption. We have significant project experience in these and other Built Environment applications.
Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis
We couple our fluid dynamics software with FEA capabilities for Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis. Consulting applications have included wind loading, valve performance and turbine blade dynamics.
