Incompressible and Compressible Flow

Under certain conditions, compressibility can become a non-negligible factor. Accurately modeling compressibility is important in order to design products better and make them safer. SimScale CFD software allows the simulation of both incompressible and compressible flow in a robust and accurate way. Applications include fluid dynamics simulation of airplanes, car spoilers, mufflers, airfoils, injectors, valves, ducts, and more.

Laminar and Turbulent Flow

SimScale supports computational fluid dynamics modeling of both laminar and turbulent flow regimes. In CFD simulation, in order to solve flow equations, accurate numerical methods, powerful turbulence models, and intensive computing power are required. SimScale flow simulation software offers an all-in-one tool for both steady and transient states, with multiple turbulence models, including k-omega SST and k-epsilon.

Mass and Thermal Transport

Commonly seen in applications such as water purification, contamination control, or analyzing gas or smoke propagation, passive scalar transport allows CFD analysis of matter transport in an incompressible flow. You can simulate mass transport in a fluid flow, applied, for example, in advanced plant simulation. Furthermore, convective and conjugate heat transfer enhance the simulation capability, with a thermal modeling tool for conduction and convection.

The Power of the Cloud

Accurate cloud-native CFD simulation allows you to evaluate alternative design iterations simultaneously and fast, without the need to download and install any software from your desktop. With SimScale, engineers can easily access, evaluate, and get results from a CFD analysis online, with 3D visualization available every step of the way.

Zero hardware or software footprint

With SimScale, investing in expensive high-performance computing hardware and caring for software installation and maintenance are a thing of the past.

Low upfront investment

Save on thousands of dollars by cutting the cost of expensive hardware and software maintenance fees.

No installation or maintenance

Connect to the Internet and run demanding simulations on any laptop or PC. We take care of software updates for you in the background.

Easy setup

With our simple workflow and ready-to-use simulation templates and tutorials, you never have to start from scratch.

“The total material cost saving was 44%. We eliminated testing and prototype costs on this project entirely. It usually takes 1-3 weeks of prototyping time and another 1-3 weeks for all the testing normally done. Overall this project was successful and it helped achieve our goal of reducing cost and keeping within the project timeline.”

Josh Levine

Lead Engineer in Value Engineering Department at Kichler Lighting
“The nice thing about SimScale is that you can essentially run an unlimited number of simulations simultaneously with no reduction in computational resources because SimScale opens up each simulation on independent nodes. This is a huge advantage for us.”

Daryn Bertelson

CAE Engineer at Johnson Screens – Aqseptence Group
“Due to the cloud-native nature of the solvers, the simulation speed is essentially a non-issue because I can add on more cores for faster simulation as needed. I can run 1, 2, or 20 simulations in parallel without worrying about hardware needs. I don’t need to budget for 1, 2, or 20 workstations to simulate my things on.”

Andrzej Tunkiel

Mechanical Team Lead at Easee
“I loved the fact that I could do what I need to do in a browser. I started working without installing any software. Using any computer I could upload the model and start the analysis. That was the big “wow” moment.”

Ben Lewis

President at Custom Machines
“For the larger scale plant, all the design simulations were carried out in SimScale. This included the heat transfer effectiveness of the steel core, air transfer optimization through ducts, calculating heat losses, and even structural lifting loads for safety purposes.”
