In Computational Fluid Dynamics, the Finite Volume Method is a widely used standard for fluid mechanics analysis, however Final Element Method can also be used. Substance behaviour can be analysed at the nano-scale, especially when considering new materials. In this case the Molecular Dynamics Method would be employed. We cooperate with European scientists specialising in this subject who can advise us through the whole analysis process.
Fluid dynamics:
- Acoustics, e.g. noise propagation or noise generating devices;
- Flow inside objects, e.g. molten chocolate flow (non-Newtonian fluids), hot/cool air in an HVAC system and its discharge into a room;
- Flow through pores, e.g. filtration;
- Flow in rotating equipment, e.g. pumps, compressors, turbines;
- Internal flow, e.g. valves, regulators, hoses;
- External flow (around objects) of liquid gases, steady-state or transient: air foils, aerodynamics of a car;
- Transportation in flow: mixing fluids phenomenon, suspensions in fluids;
- Multiphase flows: evaporation, condensation, smoke propagation;
- Flows with reactions: combustion;
- Flows of heat exchange (conjugated heat transfer): cooling, exchange and transfer of heat between the fluid and structure, e.g. heat sink;
- Turbulent flows: high Reynolds nuber flow with obstacles;
- Newtonian fluids: e.g. water, low viscous oils, fuels;
- Non-Newtonian fluids: liquid concrete, chocolate, pulp, sludge in sewage treatment plants;
- Compressible / incompressible flows: e.g. low velocity gas/liquid flow or high velocity flows > Mach1;
- Analysis, design and optimization of the elements affecting the flow.
Multiphysics – coupled simulations of at least two phenomena. FVM and/or FEM:
- Thermals + structure + flow: Cavitation,
- Electromagnetism + thermals + structure: Induction furnaces,
- Chemistry + thermals+ flow: Intensification of chemical reactions by turbulent flow.

- Determining the properties of new materials, e.g. coefficients of material (E,G,K), thermodynamic behaviour— all derived on the basis of analysis at the atomic level.
