Using tools like CFD in a product design environment has many potential advantages.
- It empowers the design engineer, i.e. it lets you look ‘inside’ your product to visualize the flow and heat – designing better products
- Improve product performance, functionality and reliability
- Reduce physical prototyping and production costs
- Minimize risk of making design mistakes
- Save both time and money by reducing design times and speeding up workflow
Typical Product Design application areas include:
- ANY component involving the flow of fluid and/or heat transfer
- Medical Devices
- Appliances
- HVAC Diffusers, Grilles etc.
- Valves and Dampers (Flow Coefficient, Noise etc.)
- Electronics Cooling
- Pumps and Fans (Performance, Cavitation, etc.)
- Compressors and Turbines
- Heat Exchanger e.g. Radiators
- Aerodynamic Forces on structures/components
- Boundary conditions to determine Thermal Stress with FEA
