Description

Renowned for its exceptional durability, CFX stands out as the premier CFD software for turbomachinery applications. Its solvers and models are integrated into a sleek, user-friendly, and adaptable graphical interface that offers extensive options for customization and automation through session files, scripting, and an advanced expression language. The software's highly scalable high-performance computing capabilities significantly accelerate simulations for various equipment, including pumps, fans, compressors, and turbines. Recent advancements in manufacturing techniques have enabled the development of more efficient turbine cooling channel geometries, which, while more intricate, promise enhanced performance and efficiency. In pursuit of precise results, a group of engineers from Purdue University opted for Ansys CFX to conduct their simulations. They executed critical calculations with minimal delay, allowing them to delve deeper into comparative analyses and run additional simulations, which ultimately led to a more thorough optimization of their product. This efficiency not only improved their workflow but also contributed to innovative solutions in turbine design.

Description

iGRAF is a comprehensive simulation tool that integrates powder and multiphase flow dynamics, effectively bridging the gap between these two domains. This innovative solution is tailored to accurately replicate a diverse array of powder behaviors while setting new benchmarks in simulation technology. With its advanced DEM-CFD solver, iGRAF provides users with the capability to perform precise analyses of both single-phase and multiphase flows, thereby enhancing the understanding of particle-fluid interactions within a unified platform. The tool's dynamic geometry control features allow for translations, rotations, vibrations, and customizable motion, enabling teams to effectively capture the intricate dynamics of complex systems. Additionally, it incorporates validated models for liquid bridging and van der Waals forces to evaluate the effects of moisture and adhesion on particle behavior, with its liquid bridge force model confirmed for moisture levels of up to 15%. Furthermore, iGRAF employs the Signed Distance Function along with the Immersed Boundary Method to adeptly identify and manage arbitrary solid geometries, ensuring flexibility in various applications. This versatility makes iGRAF an invaluable asset for researchers and engineers working with complex multiphase systems.
