Aerodynamics is a common application of CFD and one of Dynamiq’s core areas of expertise. CFD allows the steady-state and transient aerodynamics of HVAC systems, vehicles, aircraft, buildings, structures, wings and rotors to be computed with extremely high levels of accuracy. System properties such as mass flow rates and pressure drops and fluid dynamic forces such as lift, drag and pitching moment can be readily calculated in addition to the wake effects. This data can be used directly for design purposes or as in input to a detailed stress analysis.
CFD simulation offers the ability to conduct comprehensive, automated, multi-point optimisation of designs. This process allows engineers to automatically optimise a design to a given set of performance parameters and can be used to minimise drag, or maximise mass flow or lift forces to given targets.
Dynamiq Engineering provides analyses ranging from simple wind load estimations of civil structures to comprehensive design and optimisation of aeronautical or automotive vehicle geometries.
Typical CFD Simulations include:
• Building & Structure Wind Loading
• Vortex Shedding
• External Aerodynamics of Vehicles
• Fan, Wing and Rotor Design
• HVAC Applications
• Airborne Particle Transport
