Thermal and flow calculations for power plants and industrial facilities<br />
Using this calculation method, it is now<br />
possible to determine in detail the complex<br />
interaction of flow patterns and heat in any<br />
given system. “the advantage for our customers<br />
is that estimates and excessive safety<br />
margins are no longer necessary, as we<br />
are able to calculate the important variables<br />
for specific products and applications,”<br />
says Dr Benjamin Fabian, project manager<br />
for physics at nIs. the tool also reduces the<br />
product development process and brings<br />
it to market maturity sooner than would<br />
normally be the case.<br />
the magic word here is “virtual prototyping”.<br />
tests that are time-consuming and<br />
cost-intensive in reality can be reduced<br />
to a minimum on the computer. It is also<br />
possible to investigate the performance of<br />
unconventional optimization ideas or pro totypes<br />
on the computer in advance, without<br />
the need for expensive manufacturing.<br />
A further benefit of the computer over<br />
real ity is that “some tests are potentially<br />
very hazardous, meaning it is only seldom<br />
feasible to perform them in reality, or may<br />
even be impossible. simulating the components<br />
is then the only practical path. Last<br />
but not least, the results of the simulation<br />
provide important information on the<br />
detailed processes taking place within the<br />
device. this significantly increases our<br />
knowledge, accelerating the development<br />
process,” concludes physicist Dr Fabian.<br />
But sometimes you just cannot get around<br />
tests. not just for verifying calculation<br />
results, and for the fine adjustment of the<br />
boundary conditions for the calculations,<br />
but also in order to visualize complex<br />
flow situations. In conjunction with the<br />
testing facilities of siempelkamp Prüf- und<br />
Gutachter-Gesellschaft Dresden, Germany,<br />
we can simulate flow patterns in technical<br />
systems, in either original or model scale.<br />
simulation and visualization thus go hand<br />
in hand.
