Computational Fluid Dynamics

ASC engineers specialize in the development and application of numerical simulation methods. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques have been used to solve a wide variety of engineering problems involving flow, heat transfer, and chemical reaction.

There's an old adage which says that "if you only have a hammer, all problems start to look like a nail". At ASC, we strive to keep a wide array of tools in our toolbox to solve all problems in the most effective and efficient way. Even within our use of CFD, ASC uses a variety of tools, including two powerful 3D Navier-Stokes solvers, a potential flow solver, a 1D Network solver, and boundary layer and separation techniques.

ASC has the ability to make back-of-the-envelope estimations quickly, and to provide in-depth analysis of a complex fluid flow, including detailed flow characteristics (velocity, pressure, turbulence, temperature, species concentration) for internal or external flows. We have a large range of capabilities including gas, air, liquid, and multiphase flow, particle tracking, evaporation, combustion, convection, conduction, and radiation heat transfer.
