Simulation of a heat exchanger using SimericsMP.
Introduction to the simulation of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, an example of thermal fluid analysis.
CFD provides a means to shorten product development periods, reduce prototyping costs, and obtain detailed data that is difficult to measure through experiments. In this article, we will introduce application examples that can assist in product development using Simerics' CAE/CFD software. Heat exchangers have various applications, including boilers, steam generators, and commonly in air conditioners, refrigerators, and automotive radiators. While it is essential to enhance heat transfer efficiency, there is also a demand for miniaturization, requiring various trial and error in the design process. However, designing requires significant time and costs for prototyping and experiments. In CFD simulations, computation time can often increase depending on the shape of the shell and the number of tubes. However, with Simerics' CFD, high-performance thermal fluid analysis can be processed quickly through large-scale parallel computing, allowing for easy and rapid acquisition of results. The interior of the shell is also modeled in detail, replicating conditions close to actual experiments. This is expected to lead to significant reductions in man-hours and costs!

Online seminar on the utilization of the latest thermal fluid analysis software and turbo design software.
Wavefront Inc. will hold an online seminar titled "Utilization of the Latest Thermal Fluid Analysis Software and Turbo Design Software"! In recent years, various initiatives have been undertaken to achieve a carbon-neutral society. For example, in the automotive industry, with the further promotion of electrification, energy conservation, and efficiency, there is a growing demand for thermal fluid analysis, including cooling simulations for electric motors (water cooling/oil cooling) and oil agitation simulations for planetary gear mechanisms used in EVs/HEVs. In this seminar, we will introduce the thermal fluid analysis software "Simerics MP+" specialized for these complex simulations! Additionally, the construction of small hydropower plants contributing to sustainable renewable energy supply is becoming increasingly active. Since installation locations are not limited as long as there is a drop and flow, many potential development sites remain, and many companies are entering this field. We will also introduce the turbo design software "CFturbo," which serves as a stepping stone for those involved in small hydropower generation to increase turbine efficiency while reducing design time and costs, as further proliferation and diversification of small hydropower generation is anticipated!
