COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

Nutec

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a numerical tool for the simulation of complex phenomena such as fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reaction, etc.

Values for all the simulated variables (temperature, flow, concentration, velocity, etc) can be obtained at any given point on the simulated domain.

We use state-of-the-art CFD software for process design and optimization and to identify potential improvement areas.

Scope of CFD capabilities

  • Virtual Lab. What-if scenarios can be easily tested without actual experimentation

  • Better understanding of complex interaction between variables

  • Determining product heat-up time

  • Temperature uniformity in kilns and furnaces

  • Fluid flow in duct

Examples of CFD application

  • Design and optimization of thermal incinerator for maximum oxidation of organics

  • Temperature uniformity in heat treating furnaces

  • Transient response to burner pulses
