Case Studies
Electric Aircraft Battery Cooling for Nuncats - case study
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.
Development of GUI and Simulation Engine for Oil & Gas
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.
Gasification & Combustion Modelling
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.
German Car Maker uses 3-D CFD for Vehicle Level Simulations
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.
Forklift Rapid Charging Thermal Optimization
We have used Q-Bat to help Green Cubes Technology optimize their forklift battery packs for optimal heat removal during rapid charging.
Cooling of Power Tools Batteries
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.
Corab reduces aerodynamic loads on PV farms thanks to custom software.
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.
Valeo simulates thermal shock in radiators in less than an hour.
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.
