CFD / FEA Modeling

MEGTEC offers Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools for simulating processes in fluids (CFD) and solid structures (FEA). CFD Modeling and FEA allow efficient prototyping, troubleshooting and product presentation.

CFD / FEA Modeling used for troubleshooting existing equipment:

• Flow visualization
• Performance evaluation
• Thermal and structural loads and stresses calculation

For new equipment development:

• Simulations of operations
• Validation of structural integrity
• Comparison of different layouts under various conditions
• Accurate estimate of operating parameters
• Visual presentation (plots and animations) of developed process or machine

Samples of solved cases that used computational fluid dynamics or finite element anaylsis:

• Steady and time dependent flow distribution and mixing inside dryers, oxidizers, heat exchanges, fans and special purpose equipment
• Heat transfer on surfaces of valves, paper web, structural elements and inside packed beds
• Chemical reactions including combustion
• Structural and thermal stresses and deformation in oxidizer shells, fan pedestals, valves, heat exchangers and other structures
