CFD uses numerical methods to predict fluid flow and related physical processes within a defined geometry. It provides detailed insight into flow and temperature distributions that can be difficult to capture with plant measurements alone.
How CFD supports engineering
- Visualize three-dimensional flow and temperature fields.
- Compare designs and operating conditions before making physical changes.
- Identify opportunities to improve equipment design and operation.
- Support more focused research, development, and testing.
Model assumptions, input data, and comparison with available plant measurements are important when interpreting results.
