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.

Steady State Flow

 Steady flow devices by applying steady flow of liquids or gases.

Transient State Flow

Analysis of time taken for a product to reach a specific temperature at a specific location.

Aero Dynamics Study

Analysis of lift and drag at subsonic and supersonic speeds. 

Heat Transfer

 Conduction and Convection heat flows are solved for heat exchangers.

Fluid Structure Interaction

Analysis of stress response of a physical structure due to heated fluid flow.

Temperature Patterns (HVAC)

Accurate replication of temperature patterns in an HVAC installation. 

Natural/Forced Convection

 Analysis of air flow and heat convection from the surfaces of a system.

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.

Design Efforts:
