Automotive Engineering
There are many aspects to automotive engineering where there is interest in simulation. A few areas where numerical modeling can help engineers better understand their designs are fuel tank sloshing, underhood thermal management and spray control, early fuel shut-off during fill, degas bottles, fluid resistance of powertrain components, and casting of automotive parts.
FLOW-3D is a comprehensive CFD software that offers solutions to many of the challenges in the automotive industry. FLOW-3D can simulate transient flow dynamics, (both free-surface and confined), thermal energy transfer in fluids and solids, phase change, 6-degree of freedom motion of solids and a coupled finite element solver for mechanically and thermally induced stresses.
Visit Us at a Upcoming Tradeshow!
Please contact us to schedule a meeting to discuss your casting simulation needs.

Shown here is analysis of a cylinder and two valve configuration to a four stroke engine.
The animation shows velocity patterns (left) pressures right. The graphs represent a time
history of the z-coordinate (elevation, top graph) and the pressure oscillations (bottom
graph). Two complete cycles represent the total process of a four stroke cycle.
