SLR is a leading provider of professional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) services to the building and complex process industries where we have gained extensive experience in modelling mechanical, chemical and environmental processes. Our CFD capability provides sophisticated solutions to a wide range of fundamental fluid problems combined with full scale measurements.
- Incompressible and compressible flow, Newtonian and non Newtonian flow
- Pressure drop, separation & filtration
- Fire hazard and smoke analysis
- Moving body flow environments (Fans, Pumps, Turbines, Mixers)
- 3-D multiphase and chemical reactions, eg for boilers, condensers, cooling towers.
- Duct flow visualisation, improvement of flow conditions such as pressure loss, velocity distribution, turbulence, energy dissipation, etc
- Pollutant dispersal and air quality analysis inside and around tunnels to ensure compliance with national and international standards
- Heating and Ventilation (including thermal comfort) modelling, Concept and Detailed Designs
- Aerodynamic modelling including full 3D modelling of aircraft and ships
- Wind-induced loading; Wave and Blast Analysis
- Fluid flow and structure coupling using CFD and FEA Codes
The benefits gained from CFD assessments are:
- Getting the design right the first time
- Predicting the impact of alternative design ideas
- Providing cost effective solutions to flow problems and reducing design time
The CFD modelling expertise developed by SLR has been used to design a better Ammonia Nitride reactor; avoid supersonic flow and shocks in a Venturi Scrubber for the oil and gas industry; diagnose microclimate air dispersion problems and significantly reduce pollutant concentrations in an industrial metal fragmentiser; assess the flows in backwashing multimedia filters; improve wind environments and reduce rain ingress penetration to a wide range of building projects; optimise the location of wind turbines and optimise the wind turbines themselves (blade design).
