Technical Papers and Presentations

COMSOL\'s new CFD Module has been tested for laminar and turbulent flows in simple geometries, with couple or segregated solver. These tests allow mesh sensitivities and comparison with analytical solutions. They also give a first idea of cpu time and RAM use for standard cases. In a second part a thermal-fluid simulation of a real industrial application is done: the air flows cooling a large and complex equipment has been simulated to check the cooling efficiency and homogeneïty. We show memory usage depending on mesh precision and thermal coupling.
