  • Ingenieurbüro Gratzl – Evaluating Thermal Comfort in Buildings

    The Challenge Markus Gratzl’s project consisted of evaluating the thermal comfort of an immense entrance hall of a former university building. Markus’ simulation dealt with the four-storey entrance hall of the building, including the entrance to the railway station’s platforms. The goal of the analysis was to clarify whether or not the entrance hall could…

  • Optimized Safety Solutions – Visualizing Fume Distribution

    The Challenge Using the SimScale platform, Optimized Safety Solutions (OSS) expected to obtain high quality, professional images and animations which could then be used to present and discuss results with safety professionals—many of them not familiar with CFD. This project aimed to visualize the concentration and flow pattern of diesel exhaust fumes entering a warehouse…

  • Glanzner Dynamics – Improving HVAC Duct Design

    The Challenge Ductwork plays a crucial role when it comes to controlling the delivery and removal of air in both residential and industrial buildings. In the past, simplified analytical models were used to predict the flow profile of a complete duct system. For this project, the engineers at Glanzner Dynamics used CFD simulation with SimScale…

  • Nabtaker – Verifying Thermal Comfort in an Auditorium

    The Challenge The Qatar University requested Nabtaker’s services to help them tackle a problem with thermal comfort in their building. The temperature in one of their auditoriums was too high, especially during summer and when it was fully occupied. Taking into consideration the maximum capacity of 239 people which was easily reached during class period,…

  • Johnson Screens – Verifying Airflow Through Radiator Grilles

    The Challenge Their goal was to make sure that the grille did not induce too much pressure drop into the ventilation system. A high pressure drop would translate to bigger blowers and higher energy consumption. It was important to their customer to keep the energy consumption at a minimal level. Daryn Bertelson, CAE Engineer in…

  • Larsen & Toubro (L&T Construction) – Optimizing Lift Irrigation

    Investigating Layout Designs for Lift Irrigation Systems For lift irrigation projects, the structures in the sump cum pump house should be designed to ensure that the flow reaching the pumps is free from any vortices, especially submerged vortices. The flow can be analyzed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which was the reason why the L&T…

  • Thermo-Consult – Optimizing a Cleanroom for Electron Microscopy

    The Challenge The main challenges of this HVACR project were the following Extreme strict air state stability criteria (0,25°C/20min and 1°C/24h) ISO 8 cleanroom classification Strict air flow pattern criteria to the cleanroom requirements: only upwards air stream is allowed Strict air velocity criteria: maximum air velocity at the lab equipment is 0,08 m/s The…
