Technalysis' Multiphase CFD (Computational
Fluid Dynamics) Capabilities
Technalysis' multi-phase CFD capabilities can be divided into three
prominent categories:
- System flow modeling
- Continuum flow modeling
- Discrete flow modeling
System flow modeling:
One Dimensional two-phase flow and heat transfer analysis.
Features:
- Flow rate and pressure distribution
- Phase change
- Heat transfer with ambient
- Coupled with air flow analysis inside the refrigerator
Application areas:
- Refrigerant system analysis in refrigerator, air conditioning, etc.
Continuum flow modeling:
Three dimensional flow, heat transfer, concentration analysis
Features:
- Level-set method to track interface between phases
- Concentration analysis for mixing of phases
- Phase change
- Space charge behavior
- Particle tracking
Application areas:
- Casting, solidification, melting, condensation, evaporation, free
surface
- Mixture of gas/liquid, liquid/liquid
- Binary mixing
- Developer charge and mixing
Discrete flow modeling:
Three dimensional flows of particles under different forces.
Features:
- Internal contact
- Electrostatic, Magnetic and Gravitational forces
- Varied particle size and shape
- Charge and temperature analysis
Application areas:
- Bulk material handling process and equipment design
- Pharmaceutical tablet coating
- Mixing of pharmaceutical molecule with binder
- Charging of toner
Combination of Continuum and Discrete flow modeling:
Coupled three dimensional continuum flow and discrete flow analysis.
Features:
- Transfer of mass, momentum and heat between fluid and particles
- Inter-particle and fluid-particle interactions
Application areas:
- Vacuum frying of food
- Fluidized bed
- Sedimentation
- Condensation/Evaporation of water droplet
- Bubble/Droplet mixing with fluid
- Emulsion
