Computational Fluid Dynamics is a key research and service area for the Engineering Service practice. The APA team has extensive experience with several aspects of CFD for complex projects.
Case Study

Problem Statement:
Determine the building heat profile of E-House with medium voltage VFD & other electrical loads

Input:
• E-House – Step, Iges file
• Temperature & CFM of AHU and VFD.
• Electrical Heat Loads.

Tools Used:
Meshing & Solving – Ansys CFX

Methodology:
Geometry cleaning up and meshing of all the parts.
Assigning electrical Heat loads, AHU CFM and inlet temperature

Key Challenges:
Defining the correct angle of AHU inlet, for the air to flow around the entire E-House and to maintain the expected room temperature.

Deliverables:
Temperature & Velocity profile of the E-house.
