Under certain conditions, compressibility can become a non-negligible factor. Accurately modeling compressibility is important in order to design products better and making them safer. The CFD software component of SimScale allows the simulation of both incompressible and compressible flow in a robust and accurate way, as our validation cases demonstrate. Applications include airplanes, car spoilers, mufflers, airfoils, injectors, valves, ducts, and more.
SimScale supports modeling of both laminar and turbulent flow regimes. In CFD, in order to solve flow equations, accurate numerical methods, powerful turbulence models, and intensive computing power are required. SimScale offers all in one tool, for both steady and transient states, with multiple turbulence models, including k-omega SST and k-epsilon. Pipes, cyclone separators, smoke propagation or cleanroom design are among the applications.
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 modeling of multiphase or multicomponent flows using the volume of fluid (VoF) method for interface capturing is possible. SimScale uses the OpenFOAM solver interFoam which is designed for two non-mixing fluids such as oil or air in the water medium. This approach allows the modeling of laminar or turbulent free surface flows that are often found in marine applications or process engineering.
SimScale provides a CFD software for modeling a complex fluid flow interacting with rotating parts and porous media. The computational fluid dynamics software component of the SimScale platform will enable you to run simulations with a steady state using rotating boundary conditions and a multiple reference frame (MRF) or unsteady approach using arbitrary mesh interface (AMI).
