Simulation and CFD tools for automotive and transportation technology

In the product development of automobiles/ transportation systems, numerical flow simulations can be used to significantly reduce the number of physical prototypes for testing and the associated manufacturing costs.  

While OEMs used to make greater use of simulation technology in the past, suppliers are now increasingly expected to prove the functionality of their products using simulations.

DHCAE Tools' answer to the challenges in this industry is cost- and time-efficient CFD simulation techniques. This cost pressure can be met by automating the calculation process in particular. Computer simulations enable manufacturers to shorten development cycles and speed up time to market.

CFD analyses by DHCAE Tools have been successfully used in the following application areas of automotive engineering:

• Aerodynamics of high-speed trains
• Fuel sloshing in automobile tanks
• Mixing processes in hydrogen propulsion
• Paint atomization
• Modeling of AdBlue injection with atomization, spray propagation, film formation on walls, decomposition and conjugated heat transport
• Particle deposits in door locks
• Liquid acceleration and sloshing in water tanks
• Fuel injection and atomization
• Modelling of oil and air filters
• 
  

Example: Penetration depths of particles in an air filter

Example: Loading of an oil filter

Example: Injection with atomization of jet fuel
