Case Studies

Customer profile: Nuncats CIC is a British aircraft company, providing electric aircraft transportation systems in order to replace the petrol engine and fuel tanks. The electric aircrafts designed and built by Nuncats are based on batteries, supported by solar charging stations on the ground.

We have developed numerical software for studying 3-phase flow in the wellbores. Both simulation algorithms and the GUI developed for Flowpro AS from Norway.

According to emission norms, combustion of the syngas must provide that each gas particle travels for more than 2 seconds in the regions above 850 degrees C. We have done CFD simulations and modified the combustion chamber with our British customer to guarantee that.

We have helped a German car maker bring Q-Bat to the simulation workflow. Q-Bat imports CFD meshes and generates a Simulink block for vehicle-level simulations. Still 3-D and very quick.

We have used Q-Bat to help Green Cubes Technology optimize their forklift battery packs for optimal heat removal during rapid charging.

Battery Packs of power tools are usually passive cooled. Q-Bat coupled with MATLAB Simulink allowed defining a complex electric current load and get the time evolution of 3-D temperature distribution.

Photovoltaic farms experience large aerodynamic loads. ISO norms vastly overestimate them. CFD analysis of each farm is too costly. We have run hundreds of aerodynamic simulations a priori and created an accurate prediction model that Corab makes available to its partners, making their farms safe and optimized.

Engine radiators experience large temperature gradients after engine start-up. The previous CFD calculation workflow at Valeo required 48 hours of simulation on 100 processor cores. We have implemented simulation model which reduced computation time to 1 hour on a PC.
