Simulation Type: Fluid Dynamics

  • 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…

  • OxTS – Optimizing an ADAS Roof Mount with FEA

    The Challenge This requires antennae to be attached to the roof of the respective vehicle, and the position of these antennae with respect to each other and to the RT unit needs to be known to within a centimeter. This led to OXTS’need to develop a roof mount that could adapt to any car roof.…

  • 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…

  • BellaSeno – Maximizing Flow Through 3D-Printed Implants

    The Challenge The technological success of the Senella® platform depends upon efficient vascularisation of the porous space within the implant volume such that the infiltrating tissue is adequately nourished. Due to this, it is very important that the pore architecture of the implant is designed to maximise fluid flow (and maximize fluid contact with the…

  • GM Flow – Predicting Discharge Coefficient and Velocity

    The Challenge Within the oil and gas sector, there are many challenges to overcome before products are deemed safe for sale. For instance, flow measurement devices must be designed to withstand the pressures and flows generated by the production and extraction of hydrocarbons without failing. At the same time, these devices must give optimal measurements…

  • Germain Racing – Improving NASCAR Aerodynamics with CFD

    The Challenge Stock car racing is an exciting field, inspiring many especially with the fraternity of mechanical engineers and racers taking part in competitions around the globe. In modern racing, many advanced technologies are available, and it is therefore imperative to be up-to-date to keep a competitive edge. In race car dynamics, even a small…

  • Pollux Consulting – Testing Wind Load on Solar Landfills

    The Challenge The objective of this project was the construction of solar landfills over a large terrain. Until recently, the engineers at Pollux have been working with hand calculations and wind tunnel testing. Due to its time and cost savings benefits, Pollux decided to test the capabilities of a CFD software with the purpose of…

  • Carbuss – Reducing Drag on a Commercial Bus

    The Challenge Carbuss is well recognized for its expertise in structural development, with a focus on virtual and physical tests. For their new project, VISSTA Bus 360, the company turned to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to study the new design and achieve the smallest drag possible. Their aim was to deliver to the market…

  • Cincinnati Test Systems – Optimizing Leak Detection with CFD

    The Challenge They have to remain reliably sealed for extended amounts of time (in many cases over 10 years), with allowed ingress or egress rates as low as 10-9 – 10-7 std.cm3/sec. These extremely stringent requirements call for precise testing. One of the most commonly used approaches is based on pressurising the test parts with…

  • Orbital Marine Power – Optimizing a Floating Tidal Turbine

    The Challenge The incorporation of computer-aided engineering (CAE) at Orbital Marine Power was driven by two main reasons. The first one was to model the turbine leg and nacelle to optimise the hydrodynamic performance and reduce the impact of the shadow effect. This would result in an increased performance of the turbine. Although it is…

  • Sogea Maroc – Assessing Water Treatment Basin Efficiency

    About Sogea Maroc Sogea Maroc is a reference company in the fields of hydraulics, industrial engineering, and construction and engineering structures. As a major player in Marroco, it celebrates 83 years of challenging collaboration with clients from all over the world. The strong engineering and project management experience combined with a reactive organization and partnerships…

  • Illini Solar Car – Optimizing Internal and External Flow with CFD

    The Challenge The Illini Solar Car team wanted to improve the design of their first solar vehicle, Argo. Unfortunately, they didn’t have access to a full-size wind tunnel. This is when they decided to use computer-aided engineering (CAE), which would allow them to design and further fine-tune their models without needing to spend excessive amounts…
