At Slidian, we perform advanced CFD simulations to characterize the operation of industrial equipment involving fluid flow, providing detailed information that supports informed engineering decisions and helps achieve the optimal configuration before manufacturing or commissioning.
Our studies enable detailed analysis of internal flow behavior, identification of phenomena affecting performance, and implementation of improvements aimed at maximizing equipment efficiency.
Performance Improvement
CFD analysis of hydraulic and thermal equipment, such as turbines, pumps, and fans, enables precise determination of performance characteristics and operating curves.
Through these simulations, it is possible to:
Evaluate overall machine performance under different operating conditions
Validate designs before manufacturing
Compare alternative configurations quickly and reliably
Reduce the need for costly physical prototypes
As a result, improvements can be implemented at early project stages, minimizing risks and optimizing investment.
Loss Reduction and Design Optimization
Understanding fluid behavior inside industrial equipment in detail makes it possible to identify problematic areas such as:
Excessive pressure losses
Internal recirculation zones or unwanted turbulence
Flow separation
Unacceptable maximum or minimum temperatures
Inefficient concentration distributions or flow allocation
Based on these findings, we propose geometric modifications and operating condition adjustments to reduce losses and achieve the most efficient configuration.
These improvements can then be verified through additional CFD simulations, ensuring their effectiveness before proceeding with equipment manufacturing and installation.
