CFD simulation
For computer simulation of flow and thermal processes in both one-phase and multi-phase media, TES company uses an advanced FLUENT CFD code. The main advantage of the computer simulations using CFD is saving money and time.
When developing new products, the shape and functions can be optimised already in the design stage using CFD analyses, which eliminates lengthy and costly prototype manufacturing. The CFD analyses can also provide data that would be very difficult or even impossible to acquire experimentally.
TES company can perform CFD analyses of flow and thermal processes applicable in the following industries:
- Power industry - thermal field in the reactor vessel wall, combustion including exhalations (fly-ash, soot, carbon dioxide), traps, separators
- Cooling of electrical equipment and electronic circuits
- Technological processes - metallurgy, glass works, plastic material production
- Environmental protection - exhalation spreading, air streams, windmills, leakage of poisons and radioactive releases
- Environmental technology - cooling, ventilation and heating systems, air-conditioning
- Car and aerospace industry - internal and external aerodynamics
- Rotating machines - ventilators, compressors, turbines…
- Process engineering - transfer of heat and mass, chemical reactions.
Computational Fluid Dynamics
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a computational method of liquid and gas flow modelling. In addition, it can also calculate heat or mass transfer, phase changes, chemical reactions, mechanical motion or stress and deformation of solid materials.
The CFD calculation may be performed for some of the following reasons:
- Problem analysis - for many devices, it may bee difficult and expensive to built a corresponding experimental model; CFD analysis can also provide data which may be impossible to get experimentally
- Prediction of system behaviour - the CFD can provide immediate answers to "What if…?" questions. Many variants of a product can be thus tested in a short time, which saves time and improves quality of the final product.
- Improvement of design efficiency - CFD is a tool for shortening the design and development stage; the time saving means also cost saving and the product can get on the market more quickly.
