Computational Fluid Dynamics, or CFD, encompasses a diverse group of analysis types.
While basically relying on the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, the applications of computational fluid dynamics vary widely. At CAE Associates, we have worked with our clients to solve problems for a range of different applications through CFD simulation, encompassing many different flow physics, including advanced turbulence modeling, multiple phase flow, cavitation, combustion, and fluid-structure interaction.
CFD modeling has not yet achieved the level of popularity that FEA enjoys at many companies, giving us many opportunities to be a mentor as well as a leading CFD consultant in this field. Companies new to CFD consulting have found tremendous value in having CAE Associates complete their first computational fluid dynamics analysis and then transfer the knowledge back to them via training and mentoring. This helps them accelerate the process of doing the CFD work on their own in the future. Unlike most CFD consulting companies, we are more than happy to share our experience and lessons-learned with our clients.
CFD simulation presents a tremendous value to companies tackling a fluid dynamics problem
To solve CFD problems, CAE Associates has access to the market leading CFD modeling software solutions from the ANSYS family - CFX and FLUENT. Each ANSYS CFD simulation solution has its own advantages for different classes of problems and applications. Together, ANSYS CFX and FLUENT CFD consulting tools form an unbeatable combination, allowing us to confidently tackle any fluid dynamics problem.
