Fluid Mechanics
|
Fluid mechanics contains
the following areas:
- Steady / unsteady flows
- Laminar / turbulent flows (including various turbulence models)
- Incompressible and compressible flows (transonic, supersonic)
- Flows with (coupled) heat transfer (heat conduction, convection, radiation) Conjugated Heat Transfer CHT
- Flows with chemical reactions (including combustion)
- Multiphase flows (sprays, mixing, cavitation, condensation, evaporation, free surface flows etc. )
- Complex geometries (including dynamic grids e.g. cylinder movements in engines)
... and much more.

CFD COMPUTATION BY MERKLE & PARTNER
We solve simple up to the most complex tasks starting with pure channel flow up to dynamic grids, chemical reactions and coupled issues (radiation / flow / structure).
Among others, this also includes fillings, the behaviour of particles in fluids, multiphase flows, tank sloshing, outdoor exposure, non-newtonian fluids.
