How CFD Analysis Aids Mechanical Engineers In Problem

Identification And Mitigation?

By: Mehul Patel HiTech CFD

Popularity of using Computational Fluid Dynamics - CFD for problem identification and
mitigation has increased. The analysis technique is now used as a part of the standard design
testing methodology for all types of mechanical designs. CFD analysis services can be used for
accurate error detections and suitable rectifications for improved product performance.
Problem identification and mitigation is one of the key factors contributing to a successful and
high performance mechanical design. However, it is very important that problems are identified
during the early stages of design by conducting detailed CFD simulation and analysis before the
design is prototyped. This can be done using CFD analysis, often combined with finite element
analysis FEA solutions.

CFD experts conduct the following analysis on a product in order to identify and rectify design
flaws and performance issues.
Aerodynamic analysis
Species Transport
Combustion analysis
Multi-Phase Flow Analysis
Heat Transfer Analysis
Experts use CFD analysis as a part of their mechanical design development process. Precise
simulations and accurate problem identification can be achieved by using highly advanced CFD
tools like ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS Design Modeler/ Meshing, OpenFOAM, HyperMesh, etc in order
to solve complex design challenges associated with fluid mechanics.
Based on CFD simulation and analysis, problems are identified. Further mechanical engineers
find the right solutions by:
Analyzing parameters that cause problem
Gather and review the related information
Consider possible solutions
Analyze the possible implications of a proposed solution
Make the requisite changes to the CFD model and observe the response
Identify if the issue is resolved, if not find another solution and repeat the process
CFD holds the power to influence almost any mechanical product design, which relies on heat
transfer and fluid flow phenomena.
CFD service providers, help mechanical engineers in optimizing product designs for a smaller
footprint, higher efficiency, better durability and sustainability. By using CFD simulations,
modeling related pre-processing tools and CFD solvers, design flaws can be easily identified.
Further, the means to mitigate these flaws can also be devised. The process continues until a
suitable solution evolves, this means that before prototyping, all the possible errors are
detected and mitigated. This reduces the need for repeated design iterations, prototyping and
testing, thus helping mechanical engineers save related costs.
