ASCOMP GmbH
Presentation of the Company:
ASCOMP GmbH is a Research and Development Company specialized in
Computational Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer (CFD) for the design of
industrial and environmental processes. We also deliver computational solutions -
on project basis- to conventional and high-tech large & small companies and
Ingenieur Bureaus, working in energy conversion, thermal management and
ventilation of buildings, chemical, oil & gas engineering, metallurgical and
process engineering, and microfluidics systems (electronic cooling and medical
devices).
Key Products and Services
ASCOMP has developed a new CFD software (TransAT) for various industrial and
environmental problems, best suited for multiphase systems.
- Advantages of ASCOMP’s CFD software TransAT over available softwares
include the focus on complex multi-fluid and heat transfer capabilities.
- TransAT is based on precise simulation of the dynamics of the fluid interface and
heat and mass transfer, particles, including phase change, marangoni effects,
contact angle and capillary driven flows.
- TransAT uses the Immersed Boundary Technology (IST), where CAD files
representing the objects are immersed with a simple Cartesian grid. Grid generation
is thus made very easy, fast (10 to 20 minutes for a 3D setup), simple, and user
friendly. Advantages inlcude dispensing with skewed grids, reducing thus gridrelated
numerical errors.
- TransAT uses automatic Block based Mesh Refinement (BMR), where additional
blocks of refined grids are added to critical flow zones, e.g. near walls for boundary
layers. Similarly, blocks can be removed automatically from non-critical flow regions.
- TransAT is based on distinct modules; each one deals with specific flow features:
implict for RANS simulations, explicit for LES and V-LES and multiphase flows.
- Thanks to IST, TransAT solves conjugate heat transfer problems without coupling
with external codes.
- TransAT copes with moving boundaries automatically, implemented within IST.
