    Acoustics

    Identify noise emitters and turn down your acoustic problem

    Numerical simulations are essential tools in the field of acoustics and provide solutions for the calculation of sound generation, its propagation and therefore the optimization or even prevention of noise emissions. Two fundamental disciplines of acoustics, which characterize the nature of noise generation, are aeroacoustics and vibro-acoustics. While aeroacoustics regard noise which is caused by turbulent flows or aerodynamic forces in surface interaction, vibro-acoustics comprises noise caused by structural vibrations. The numerical simulation is conducted with a conventional CFD approach complemented by FEM (Finite Element Method) and resulting in sound pressure levels and frequencies at a defined receptor position.

    Optimizations

    The application of CFD simulations for acoustic problems is sparse due to their complexity, although a high relevance is given in almost all industrial fields. Exemplary applications with growing and already significant importance of acoustic design are vehicles, wind turbines, turbomachines or rotating components in general. Possessing the necessary experience and knowhow, we provide you with acoustic simulations regardless of your specific setting. Being a leading force of Riblet engineering, which is an effective way to optimize acoustic conditions, we further provide a comprehensive solution including its implementation.

      MICROFLUIDICS

      Revolutionize biosensor technology by simulating on a micro- & nano-scale

      Microfluidics describe the behavior of fluids at a very small scale at which surface forces like capillarity and intermolecular forces dominate volumetric forces. It represents a field with an enormous potential and prospective relevance. While some applications can already be found in industrial use, the topic is still a matter of intense research and product development. Possible applications regard molecular diagnostics, lab-on-a-chip solutions, food industry, pharmaceutical testing and biosensor technology in general. The precise control of small scale fluid flows creates completely new possibilities for developments in such fields. In this sense, especially CFD simulations gain importance by enabling the numerical modeling of viscosity effects, surface tension or advection and diffusion effects. Hereby, the need for costly experiments and time consuming trial & error loops can be overcome.

        Level up your product and your process by advanced
        CFD Modeling

        Advanced CFD simulations are demanded across all industries and bring significant competitive advantages. In the development stage, numerical modeling prevents costly experiments by enabling realistic virtual prototyping. Existing facilities and processes can be optimized in regard of their energy efficiency or performance. Furthermore, CFD analyses offer efficient and quick possibilities for solving operational problems, resulting in reduced operating costs, enhanced production quality or reduced maintenance efforts and thereby fewer costly facility shutdowns.

        Beyond our areas of specialization, we provide advanced numerical calculations regarding heat transfer and fluid flow processes of any kind. Thermodynamic and chemical effects are involved in the computational procedure to attain most realistic simulation results. This allows to properly simulate combustion processes and further enables the reduction of exhaust gas emissions or the decrease of technical risks of complex systems. Modeling general particle separation or blending processes, heat exchangers, and filter systems belong to our expertise as well as the simulation of complex multiphase flow conditions and many others.
