CFD

CFD is the computation of fluid flows via the solution of the Navier Stokes Equations. Our CFD capabilities cover:

Steady state and transient flows

Forced and natural convection
Coupled structural and fluid simulation
Mixed flows

CFD is used to model fluid flow including for instance:

Flows through pipe networks to determine pressure losses, changes in concentration and particle size.
Flows through machine ventilation systems to simulate areas of fresh air delivery and effective cooling
Thermal and acoustic implications.
