Before the introduction of CONVERGE, the analysis of valve and piston movement within cylinders was considered a "craftsmanship" of specialized CFD engineers due to the difficulty of mesh creation and physical modeling. CONVERGE, with its groundbreaking features, is user-friendly software that allows anyone to perform cylinder analysis with just two days of operational training, and it is being utilized for engine analysis worldwide. In the current design and development process of internal combustion engines, there is a demand for further fuel efficiency improvements to achieve carbon neutrality, while at the same time, it is essential to reduce experimental and adaptation workloads to adapt to the new normal, necessitating a more efficient development process.

I would like to introduce information about how CAE and CFD are beneficial to society, along with interesting application examples, primarily based on articles from the information magazine "ADVANTAGE" published by ANSYS, Inc. and ANSYS Japan Co., Ltd. This time, I will present a CFD application case for Dyson's "Dyson Air Multiplier (a bladeless fan)." When I first saw this product in an electronics store and in commercials, I was truly amazed. The features of the bladeless fan "Dyson Air Multiplier" include: - Safety - The phenomenon of "buffeting," where airflow around an aircraft separates from the surface and creates vortices that vibrate the aircraft, does not occur - Reduced noise - By forming a high-speed air layer that draws in surrounding air, it delivers a large volume of air, creating a smooth breeze similar to a natural zephyr. This case suggests that further design efficiency could be achieved by coupling it with the multi-purpose robust design optimization support tool "modeFRONTIER" offered by IDAJ.

I would like to introduce information that highlights how CAE and CFD are beneficial to society, along with interesting application examples, primarily through articles from the information magazine "ADVANTAGE" published by ANSYS, Inc. and ANSYS Japan Co., Ltd. This time, I will present an analysis of water purification treatment using ultraviolet sterilization devices. ANSYS Fluent is equipped with numerous radiation models, and in this case, we will simulate using the Discrete Ordinates (DO) model and model various microorganisms with DPM (Discrete Phase Model), which is a somewhat unique example. When I first saw this case, I thought it might not fall within the realm of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), but depending on how it is used, there seems to be potential for increased applications. We will incorporate the total amount of ultraviolet light (UV Dose) that bacteria receive while flowing through the ultraviolet sterilization device using a User Defined Function (UDF). In the drinking water supply that we use in our daily lives, ultraviolet irradiation devices are reportedly always used for sterilization (to kill chlorine-resistant bacteria such as Cryptosporidium). In other words, if we could improve the sterilization efficiency by even an average of 1% at the countless water purification plants across the country, it would result in a very significant effect.

I would like to introduce information about how CAE and CFD are beneficial to society, including interesting application cases, primarily through articles from the information magazine "ADVANTAGE" published by ANSYS, Inc. and ANSYS Japan Co., Ltd. This time, I will share the story of Nebia's innovative showerhead development. This revolutionary showerhead boasts a 70% water-saving effect compared to conventional showerheads and was launched in Japan in 2016, so some of you may already be familiar with it. ANSYS Fluent's CFD technology was fully utilized in the development of this innovative showerhead. A fitness club owner was troubled by high water bills 　↓ They created a prototype of a fine mist spray showerhead 　↓ It was difficult to solve the problem of the spray particles being too fine (the droplet surface area was too large), causing the hot water temperature to cool down quickly 　↓ They decided to implement ANSYS Fluent 　↓ A vast parameter study was conducted, and a research project that was expected to take nine months was completed in just one month 　↓ Launched into the global market in the summer of 2016

I would like to introduce information about how CAE and CFD are useful in the world, including interesting application examples, primarily through articles from the information magazine "ADVANTAGE" published by ANSYS, Inc. and ANSYS Japan Co., Ltd. This time, we will present an interview article with Mr. Manabu Umeda and Mr. Shinichi Sagara from LIXIL Corporation, who are utilizing flow analysis of toilet products in the design and development of new products. There are various fluid analysis tools available, but the reason for choosing ANSYS Fluent is that it can simulate products such as toilets and bathtubs, which are composed of curved surfaces. One of the benefits of introducing simulation is "visualization." Since ceramic toilets can only be visually inspected up to the point where water accumulates, it is not possible to see the condition of the drainage path. With simulation, it is possible to confirm the internal flow on the drainage side, allowing for appropriate measures to be taken based on simulation results, rather than relying solely on the intuition and experience of the designers. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

I would like to introduce information that highlights how CAE and CFD are beneficial to society, including interesting application examples, primarily through articles from the information magazine "ADVANTAGE" published by ANSYS, Inc. and ANSYS Japan Co., Ltd. This time, we will present an interview article with Mr. Kazuo Kibi from Tokyo Electron Limited. The company holds the top share in Japan and the third largest share in the world as a semiconductor manufacturing equipment manufacturer. As a long-time user of ANSYS Fluent, the company utilizes simulation to clarify and predict phenomena occurring within their manufacturing equipment. They leverage simulation software from upstream to downstream in the design process, but now the management has assigned them a more challenging mission of "not creating prototypes." Creating prototypes requires enormous costs and time. Therefore, if they can avoid making prototypes, there is no doubt that they can achieve significant economic and time benefits. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
