Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)?

Computational Fluid Dynamics is a numerical simulation method used to analyze fluid flow, heat transfer, turbulence, and related physical phenomena in engineering systems.

What types of CFD analyses do you provide?

We provide internal and external flow analysis, thermal and conjugate heat transfer, transient simulations, multiphase flow, combustion, ventilation, and fluid–structure interaction studies.

Which industries commonly require CFD?

CFD is widely applied in Power & Energy, Oil & Gas and Process Industries, Buildings and Built Environment, and Industrial Machinery and Manufacturing.

When is CFD preferred over empirical or handbook methods?

CFD is preferred when flow behavior is complex, three-dimensional, non-uniform, transient, or strongly coupled with heat transfer or structural response.

Do design codes and standards accept CFD results?

Yes. Many standards such as API 521, ASHRAE, ISO, NFPA, HEI, and performance-based design guidelines recognize CFD as a valid engineering tool when properly validated.

Can CFD be used for safety and regulatory studies?

Yes. CFD is commonly used for gas dispersion, smoke and fire modeling, ventilation effectiveness, thermal safety, and flow-induced vibration assessments.

Do you perform transient and unsteady CFD simulations?

Yes. We perform time-dependent CFD analyses to capture unsteady flow behavior during startup, shutdown, pulsation, cyclic operation, and dynamic loading.

How do you ensure accuracy and reliability of CFD results?

Accuracy is ensured through mesh independence studies, solver convergence checks, validated physical models, benchmarking, and sound engineering judgment.

Can CFD results be coupled with Finite Element Analysis (FEA)?

Yes. CFD results are frequently coupled with FEA to evaluate thermal stresses, pressure loading, and flow-induced vibration in critical components.

What information is required to start a CFD project?

Typically, geometry or CAD data, operating conditions, fluid properties, boundary conditions, and performance objectives are required. We can assist in defining these inputs.

What deliverables do you provide?

Deliverables include a detailed engineering report, contour plots, animations, performance metrics, validation checks, and clear engineering recommendations.
