Manufacturing

Thermal management The thermal solver can be used to simulate the cooling of electronic components to keep them within safe operating temperature ranges. The simulation can include convection/diffusion, radiation and conjugated heat transfer, coupled to the flow produced by fans. Fans are modeled either as rotating parts or as surface boundary condition.

Robotized production systems XFlow can simulate the flow around moving equipment such as industrial machinery and production line robots in fabrication plants. It is possible to prescribe the motion of each object and so reproduce real operation conditions. The trajectories of dust particles can be tracked with the disperse phase model.

Mixing processes XFlow can be used to simulate agitators and mixers for the chemical industry or water treatment plants. It solves single and two-phase flows for immiscible fluids including surface tension. Stirrers can be modeled as rotating parts.

Non-Newtonian fluids Highly viscous non-Newtonian fluids (e.g. toothpaste, melted plastic, chemical blends) are common in many industrial applications. The complex rheological properties of these fluids can be introduced in XFlow by using the predefined viscosity models available (Newtonian, Sutherland, Cross, Herschel- Bulkley, Power Law, Carreau) or user-defined functions.

“The free surface approach in XFlow means nothing less than a revolution in multiphase flow modelling of atomisation and spray processes. I am convinced it will have a big impact on the modelling of propulsion systems, fuel burners and a wide range of different industrial spray processes.” Dr. Hermann Maier, Managing Director of gridlab GmbH.
