Main objectives : The objective of the project is the flow analysis of complex 3D geometries in order to obtain a superior design of complex engineering components along with optimized shape & size. It will further be subjected to virtual experimentation to measure its performance by simulating the actual working condition. The whole process involves 3D geometry modelling, high quality 3D mesh generation and facility creation for solving very large DOF computational problems both in terms of software and hardware, solving unsteady turbulent compressible flow and finally analyzing the results.
What was achieved :
- High Performance Computing Facility both in terms of hardware & software
- Hardware facility comprising of around 148 INTEL& 256 AMD Cores with at least 2 GB Memory per Core, 3.6 TB Storage, 4X QDR Infiniband
- Connectivity
- Software facility comprising of ANSYS Fluent, CFX, ICEM CFD, HPC Packs, MSC Adams, NX etc. for solving very large DOF computational problems
- The Hardware and Software facilities available throughout the CSIR - CMERI via Local Area Network (LAN)
- Flow analysis and numerical simulation carried out for a complex 3D Pressure Regulating Valve
- Heat transfer analysis of an air-to-air fin-tube type heat exchanger with longitudinal vortex generators
