Capabilities of CFD Analysis in Solving Complex Flow Problems

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a sophisticated analytical tool that simulates and solves complex fluid flow and heat transfer problems in industrial equipment. By employing advanced numerical methods, CFD divides physical systems into smaller elements, enabling precise calculations of fluid properties such as velocity, pressure, and temperature.

At Dynaflow Research Group, CFD is applied to a range of industrial applications, including rotating machinery, heat exchangers, and pipelines. It helps engineers identify inefficiencies, optimize designs, and enhance equipment performance and safety. CFD analysis is particularly valuable for studying phenomena like pressure drops, flow separation, and thermal distribution in industrial systems.

The types of analyses that can be performed in a CFD application are:

  • Optimizing design to improve performance
  • Validating initial design performance
  • Determining the cause of performance issues or failures
  • Feasibility study of new configurations, e.g. closely spaced filters or pumps
  • Fluid-structure interaction analysis to solve the interaction of some movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow

CFD provides a detailed description of the complex flow patterns and properties in the system. Due to the flexibility of the analysis, CFD has a wide range of applications.

Moreover, due to recent advances in CFD, accurate predictions can be made about the flow properties of complex systems, such as pipeline components interferences, separation systems, or heat exchangers. This can be used to predict the performance of the analyzed system.

Furthermore, CFD models are easily revised and can offer many detailed insights into flow physics. Therefore, CFD can be used to replace expensive and time-consuming methods such as experiments, or for systems where no measurements are possible such as in deep sea applications or applications using liquid metal.
