Introduction to the simulation of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, an example of thermal fluid analysis.
CFD provides a means to shorten product development periods, reduce prototyping costs, and obtain detailed data that is difficult to measure through experiments. In this article, we will introduce application examples that can assist in product development using Simerics' CAE/CFD software. Heat exchangers have various applications, including boilers, steam generators, and commonly in air conditioners, refrigerators, and automotive radiators. While it is essential to enhance heat transfer efficiency, there is also a demand for miniaturization, requiring various trial and error in the design process. However, designing requires significant time and costs for prototyping and experiments. In CFD simulations, computation time can often increase depending on the shape of the shell and the number of tubes. However, with Simerics' CFD, high-performance thermal fluid analysis can be processed quickly through large-scale parallel computing, allowing for easy and rapid acquisition of results. The interior of the shell is also modeled in detail, replicating conditions close to actual experiments. This is expected to lead to significant reductions in man-hours and costs! There are many more reasons to use Simerics' CFD software. Please check the link below or feel free to contact us!

Company information
Our company develops and sells a "Maintenance Management System" for managing and operating various plants, factories, and other facilities and assets. Currently, this system is undergoing significant evolution into one that incorporates IoT technologies, such as sensor information and input from tablet devices, as well as AI technologies like machine learning, featuring functions for failure prediction and automatic scheduling. Additionally, as part of the recent trend towards digital transformation (DX), there is a growing movement to digitize and automate manufacturing processes and research and development sites in factories to enhance operational efficiency. In line with this trend, our company provides a solution aimed at improving efficiency in research and development environments, known as the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), which includes features such as workflow management, data tracking, data management, data analysis, and integration of electronic lab notebooks.
