BlogInsights from Our Fluid Dynamics Desk
Technical explainers and case notes on FSI, conjugate heat transfer, multi-phase flow, CFD-to-fatigue mapping, multi-body dynamics and coupled multiphysics.
FSI Explained: When Flow Starts Breaking Structures
Acoustic- and flow-induced vibration, water hammer and valve slam — and how coupled simulation catches them early.
- Flow-induced vibration
- Water hammer / surge
- Valve closure loads
Conjugate Heat Transfer for Pressure Equipment
Tracking heat loss, thermal stratification and thermal shock in vessels, exchangers and piping.
- CHT modelling
- Thermal stratification
- Transient thermal stress
Multi-Phase & Cavitation Modelling in ANSYS Fluent
Liquid-gas interfaces, cavitation and slurry transport across pumps, valves and reactors.
- Free-surface flows
- Cavitation onset
- Slurry erosion
From CFD to Fatigue: Projecting Thermal Data onto FEA
Mapping fluid and thermal results onto structural models for creep-fatigue and life assessment.
- Thermal mapping
- Creep-fatigue interaction
- Remaining life
Multi-Body Dynamics as a Load Source for FEA
Extracting real operating-cycle accelerations and joint forces to drive accurate structural models.
- Dynamic load extraction
- Flexible-body MBD
- FEA integration
Coupled Electro-Thermal-Flow for EV & Power Electronics
Where current makes heat, heat changes cooling, and cooling changes the structure — solved together.
- Busbars & transformers
- Battery thermal management
- Powertrain cooling
