CFD Simulation

CFD simulation and calculation: Innovation in ventilation and gas treatment

In the design of industrial processes and applications, understanding and anticipating the thermodynamic behaviour of flows is essential to ensure safe and efficient operations. Much of this understanding is undoubtedly the result of the experience and learning accumulated by many facilities over the years, but there are still cases where relying solely on this experience can be somewhat risky, especially when the investment is considerable.

By integrating CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) studies into our portfolio, we can address more demanding and safer challenges to increase the efficiency of ventilation, filtration and gas treatment facilities.

What is a CFD calculation?

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis involves the use of computational tools and numerical algorithms to study and analyse the behaviour of fluids, gases and their interactions with solid surfaces. It is generally divided into the following phases:

  1. Geometric modelling and meshing
    Creation of a three-dimensional model of the study system that is divided into a mesh of smaller elements (finite elements).
  2. Definition of contour conditions and system properties
    These conditions include physical fluid properties, initial velocities, temperatures, and any constraints on model surfaces, as well as factors: viscosity, density, and thermal conductivity.
  3. Simulation and visualisation
    Through the solution of complex mathematical equations that describe fluid dynamics, a numerical simulation is carried out. Simulation results are displayed in graphs, colour maps, or animations to interpret how fluid behaves, high or low pressure zones, flow velocities, and other important variables. This provides a detailed understanding of the behaviour of the studied system.
  4. Validation and optimisation
    The results obtained are compared with experimental data to validate the simulation. Based on this validation, adjustments can be made to the model to optimise and improve the accuracy of the results.

Where do we make use of CFD studies?

Although CFD studies can be used for many purposes, at AIR JET we perform them for:

  1. Ventilation and aspiration engineering in industrial processes By taking advantage of the potential to predict the thermodynamic behaviour of fumes and gases emitted in industrial processes, we can offer accurate and reliable ventilation solutions to improve air quality in productive environments.

    This service is of great value to our customers, because with a reasonable investment a complex problem can be solved with great accuracy and reliability.

  2. Equipment design and optimisation We use CFD calculations as a key tool to optimise the design of our gas filtration and treatment equipment, such as dust collectors, cyclones, reactors, spark arresters, etc.

With AIR JET’s CFD Simulation and Calculation services, our clients benefit from a comprehensive and personalised approach. We work closely with each customer to understand their specific needs and provide solutions tailored to their unique requirements. The combination of our technical expertise and the latest CFD technology allows us to address complex challenges.
