Fluids CAE
Aligned CAE offers services in the exciting world of Fluids
Engineering. Simulation services are divided into two main
categories:
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
- 1D fluid flow
CFD tools are utilized to provide precise definition of flow fields,
heat transfer, mixing and various other fluid dynamic
characteristics via finite element or finite volume methods. By
nature, CFD models are typically computationally intensive, however
provide a highly accurate solution to many complex fluid
engineering problems. For more information on CFD methods please

1D fluid flow tools are very useful in defining systems of a scale
that is not economically feasible to simulate via CFD. An example of
this would be the entire AC loop of a motor vehicle. 1D tools are
often used in the sizing of components and the design of large
complex systems. For more information on 1D methods please visit =>

Aligned CAE has the ability to link both our CFD tools with our 1D
fluid flow tools to provide our customer's the 'best of both
worlds'. For example the use of rapid 1D fluid simulation for system
overview followed integration 3D CFD models to optimize component
design.
