Our CFD Calculation Process
Our CFD Calculation Process
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
At Rochem FYREWASH®, we utilise the latest technology to ensure our products offer maximum benefit to our customers. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an invaluable tool when it comes to designing new and improved cleaning solutions for gas turbine compressors and process compressors.
Find out more about what CFD is and how it ensures we deliver the best systems and optimum implementation for our customers around the globe.
What is CFD analysis?
CFD analysis relies on mathematical equations such as conservation of mass, momentum and energy to predict the flow of fluid. It breaks down a complex 3D space into a grid of smaller cells then performs a combination of calculations to simulate fluid behaviour. The user learns what would happen within a unique space that represents a real, specific environment to a fluid’s:
- Velocity
- Pressure
- Temperature
- Heat transfer
- Flow
- Interaction with solid structures and other fluids
It is an invaluable tool used to optimise designs, troubleshoot issues and predict performance before physical implementation.
Rochem’s CFD experience and capabilities
At Rochem FYREWASH®, we’ve been utilising CFD analysis for over 20 years to ensure our cleaning systems are the most effective and efficient possible. Making use of this technology allows us to determine the best combination of equipment, placement and flow rate for optimum wetting and cleaning before committing to physical amendments.
