CFD

The power of innovation through simulation and anticipation

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) allows you to virtually model complex phenomena, such as the mixing of fluids in a tank. It provides detailed information on the velocity fields, pressures, temperatures and other properties of fluids at different points in space and over time.

This approach is not only key to the design and optimisation of systems involving fluids, it is also a source of sound engineering practice.

It provides you with the advantage of virtually validating the system prior to manufacture, ensuring full compliance with specifications and avoiding costly on-site testing.

THE ADVANTAGES OF HASLER GROUP

/ OPTIMISE product or process design : CFD analysis allows fluid behaviour to be modelled and visualised, thus helping to optimise the design of the mixer according to the specific needs of the process.

/ IMPROVE efficiency : by studying fluid movements and interactions, CFD analysis can be used to adjust the mixer to maximise mixing efficiency, allowing for faster, more homogeneous processes. e.g.: optimising installed power. e.g.: Virtual imaging of velocity fields in the tank, as well as shear rates.

/ REDUCE costs : by identifying inefficiencies or potential problems in the design at the modelling stage, adjustments can be made before manufacture, thereby reducing the cost of post-production modifications.

/ SAVE energy : an optimised design based on CFD analysis can lead to more efficient use of energy, thereby reducing consumption and associated costs.

/ REDUCE risks : anticipate and solve potential fluid issues, reducing operational risk and unplanned downtime. In particular, CFD allows you to accurately model the flow of fluids with complex rheology (non-Newtonian fluids).

/ INCREASE your responsiveness to process changes : a CFD-based design offers greater flexibility to adapt to changing process needs, without the need for a major design overhaul.
