Fluid dynamics simulation

Gain insight into the flow or heat transfer behaviour of your process or design. InsPyro performs reliable CFD analysis to understand issues with the goal to find a suitable improved design, whether it is an HVAC system, a small machinery component, a settler, or a furnace layout.

Rely on InsPyro’s CFD specialists to efficiently model geometry, specify boundary conditions, run CFD simulations, interpret the results, and formulate practical recommendations.

Our specialists have a wide experience in CFD techniques including combustion, radiation, particle physics, multiphase flow, and aeroacoustics.

Our aim is to deliver a relevant and understandable answer to your question, without delay. Our customers most frequently chose the words Useful, Clear, Reliable, Flexible, and High quality to describe our services.

Case study: gas-fired furnace

We assisted several customers to improve the heat distribution or energy efficiency of their furnaces. CFD models help to eliminate hot spots, improve heat transfer, and reduce air entrainment.

Example: CFD simulation of furnaces

Case study: gas dispersion

When dealing with toxic gases, CFD provides details on flow pattern and concentration build-up in case of a leak. These insights can be used to position sensors smartly, and to be sure that a leak is detected quickly. Also, health risks can be quantified, and the effect of safety measures can be studied.

Example: CFD simulation of gas dispersion

Case study: waste water treatment plant

Settling, mixing, aeration are common issues in WWTP’s which may greatly benefit from a CFD analysis. This may be relevant for troubleshooting existing installations or optimizing new designs.

Example: CFD simulation of settling

Case study: cooling of a cleaned part

Our customer, specialised in cleanroom technology, needed to guarantee a uniform temperature of cleaned parts entering the cleanroom. With CFD, we compared the heat transfer for different air inlet designs.

Case study: ventilation

Ventilation can save lives, but how can you be sure that enough air movement is provided to remove toxic or explosive gases or pathogens? Computational Fluid Dynamics (=CFD) calculates air flow and visualises potential health and safety hazards.

Case study: gas cyclone

To separate even the smallest contaminant particles from a gas or water stream, small optimizations to the cyclone design can make a big difference.

Case study: multiphase mixing

For optimizing mixing or increasing the residence time of the injected gases, whether in wastewater treatment or in liquid metal, CFD is an efficient design support tool.

InsPyro runs ANSYS Fluent software to model, predict and analyse flow and heat transfer. Alternatives are CFX or OpenFOAM. Using these renowned simulation tools, our specialists reveal the hydrodynamics of gas flows, chemical aqueous or organic liquids, and even liquid metal or hot dust laden gases. Heat conduction, radiation, and convection models are included to study and optimize heat transfer problems.

Using the insight acquired, the process or design can be improved further to increase economics and establish a healthier working environment. As heat transfer is often a key driver in process capacity, improvements can have a large impact on profitability. Similarly, solving flow and pressure loss bottlenecks can allow for cost savings or capacity expansion.

CFD analysis can resolve a range of process issues:

Improve mixing to avoid dead zones and increase reaction kinetics
Modify hood and ventilation design to maximise emission removal, influencing worker hygiene
Change burner or heater positions to optimise heat distribution, and thus thermal efficiency, wear, or energy consumption

Thanks to their combined expertise in the applications as well as in the physical basis of CFD, InsPyro specialists provide more valuable insight. They provide well-founded analysis results and actionable conclusions in the shortest time possible.

This information allows for efficiently resolving specific issues and realize performance improvements in your processes, or make quick changes to your product design without extensive testing iterations.
