RÉFÉRENCES CLIENTS
Improving the Aerodynamics of Krone Semi-Trailers
Semi-trailers, along with their accessories, must comply with European regulations regarding CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, where aerodynamic drag plays a crucial role.
Through aerodynamic simulation, design modifications can be quickly analyzed and evaluated without the need for physical models or expensive wind tunnel tests. Krone engineers take advantage of Ansys CFD simulation tools to efficiently assess aerodynamic drag, integrating numerous components into their analyses.
This approach helps reduce costs and accelerate development timelines while optimizing aerodynamic performance.
Scaling and Optimization of Hydrogen Compressor and Storage
In hydrogen compressors, performance is measured by the compression ratio, storage capacity, and flow rate, with major challenges related to specifying design parameters to meet strict requirements. The Ansys Fluent software was used to perform coupled simulations of fluid dynamics and heat transfer, allowing for an in-depth understanding of complex phenomena and determining optimal parameters. Thanks to this approach, the design and operating conditions of the compressors were optimized, reducing manufacturing and operational costs while shortening product development cycles.
Geometric Modeling and Fluid-Structure Interaction
Old facilities require revisions due to changes in operating conditions. To optimize this revision, it is crucial to determine the new stresses exerted by the water flow. Using Ansys Design Modeler, a 3D model based on old construction plans was created. Pressure calculations made with Ansys CFD allowed the loads to be transferred to the finite element model in Ansys Mechanical, enabling the determination of structural stresses. Thanks to the expertise of CADFEM (Switzerland) AG, Grande Dixence S.A. was able to analyze the flow behavior and structural requirements according to the new operating conditions.
Extended CFD Applications
We have been using Ansys CFX for CFD for some time and would like to complement it in the future with Ansys Fluent to cover a broader range of applications.
CFD in Glider Construction
These experiences and the confidence we have gained through CFD are of great use to us. They confirm what we believed in many cases while showing us additional optimization potential.
Pump Simulation
This special pump development in just eight months was only possible thanks to the coupled use of fluid and structural simulation. With such short development times, we could not perform tests on a test bench.
