External aerodynamics
External aerodynamics
With strong bases in the automotive industry, we conduct comprehensive external aerodynamics simulations. Our strength lies in our ability to translate complex simulation data into clear and visually compelling graphical representations. Through these graphical summaries, we help understanding of the pros and cons associated with new designs, facilitating informed decision-making and fostering innovation in aerodynamic engineering. On the left a snapshot of a study carried on ITBA's FSAE car.
Wind turbine modelling
Wind turbine modelling
After collaborating with a Danish wind turbine manufacturer, we have now broaden our scope and are able to evaluate wake effects, and compute the energy yield of wind farms.
Large Eddy Simulations
Large Eddy Simulations
Still advanced for industrial applications, Large Eddy Simulations (LES) aim to mathematically resolve larger vortices while still modelling the turbulence decay, thus giving a more detailed flow if we are interested in studying transient small flow scales. Here's a study on how the homogeneous isotropic turbulence decay.
Multi-phase simulations
Multi-phase simulations
Multi-phasic fluid interaction not only takes into account different viscosities, but also the superficial tension in between all fluids. That is the case in this bi-phasic simulation of a water-jet injection in a lagoon, meant to generate surfing waves.
Aerodynamic optimization
Aerodynamic optimization
Through the use of DAFoam, we are now able to optimize aerodynamic profiles by using Free Form Deformation (FFD), where the geometry of the object to be optimised is embedded into a volume that can be manipulated by moving points at the surface known as FFD points. Therefore deforming the object together with the mesh used to resolve the flow. Hereunder is a wing profile optimized to reach a lift coefficient of 0.5 with the minimum drag coefficient.
