Optimised CFD for Manufacturing

Service Description

FXC Reference Number: TICH25415 ICHEC provides a cutting-edge Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation service tailored for the manufacturing sector. Designed to support product and process optimisation, this service combines technical expertise with access to the powerful Meluxina supercomputer in Luxembourg. Clients benefit from fast, high-resolution simulations capable of handling complex geometries and demanding operating conditions with precision and efficiency. This end-to-end offering includes all stages of the simulation workflow—from literature review and initial modelling to advanced 2D/3D simulations and validation. Whether you are designing a new system or improving an existing one, ICHEC’s CFD service delivers trusted insights to support better engineering outcomes. This service is ideal for manufacturers seeking a robust, data-driven foundation for design improvement and innovation. What to Expect: • Task 1: Literature Review: A structured review of academic and industrial research relevant to your specific CFD use case. This identifies best practices for material models, boundary conditions, solver settings, and expected physical behaviours. • Task 2: Initial CFD Model Setup: A minimal 2D CFD model is developed using simplified geometry and mesh to test solver stability and ensure the setup produces physically meaningful results. A sensitivity analysis explores how different meshing and solver parameters affect outcomes. • Task 3: 2D Simulation of Product Geometry: A more refined 2D model is created using client-supplied CAD or design specifications. Realistic operating conditions are applied to assess flow and multi-physics behaviour. Geometry processing and meshing workflows are established using open-source tools like FreeCAD, OpenFoam, and Gmsh. • Task 4: 3D Simulation of Product: To validate assumptions made in the 2D analysis, a 3D model is built and simulated. This ensures accuracy and helps determine whether 3D modelling is essential for your case. Additional effort is invested in mesh generation and solver configuration for full-volume analysis. Key Takeaways: • Internal reports and demonstrators with theoretical validation and reproducible solver setups • 2D simulation results detailing fluid and multi-physics behaviour • 3D simulation outcomes with comparisons to 2D results for accuracy verification This service is designed for: • Enterprise (e.g. Manufacturers). #DataModelling #AIIntegration #DataDrivenDecisionMaking
