Hydrodynamics & HydroAcoustics simulation for AIV (Acoustic Induced Vibration)

Hydrodynamics and HydroAcoustics simulations can be used to analyze and predict the occurrence of AIV (Acoustic Induced Vibration) in process plants. AIV is caused by pressure fluctuations in a compressible flow stream, and it can lead to structural vibration and potential damage to equipment.

CFD simulations can be used to model the fluid flow and pressure fluctuations in the process plant, while also considering the structural response of the equipment to these pressure fluctuations. This allows our engineers to analyze the potential for AIV and identify potential solutions to prevent or mitigate the effects of AIV.

HydroAcoustics simulations can be used to model the acoustic behavior of the fluid flow and its interaction with the structural components of the equipment. This enables our engineers to accurately predict the vibration and noise levels associated with AIV, and identify potential design modifications to reduce these effects.

Hydroplaning (Aquaplaning) Simulation

Hydroplaning, also known as aquaplaning, can be a serious safety hazard for drivers, as it can cause a loss of control of the vehicle. To prevent hydroplaning, it is important to understand the factors that contribute to its occurrence. CFD simulations can be used to model the interaction between the tire and the water on the road surface. This enables engineers to analyze the effects of various factors, such as vehicle velocity, water depth, vehicle load, tire pressure, and tread pattern depth and design on the occurrence of hydroplaning.

By analyzing these factors, engineers can optimize the design of tire tread patterns to improve their ability to remove water from the road surface and prevent hydroplaning. They can also identify potential solutions to reduce the risk of hydroplaning, such as improving road drainage or reducing vehicle speeds in wet conditions.

Hydroplaning simulations can also be used to analyze the effects of different driving conditions, such as cornering or braking, on the occurrence of hydroplaning. This enables our engineers to identify potential safety risks and develop strategies to mitigate these risks. By utilizing Hydroplaning simulations, our engineers can improve the safety of vehicles in wet driving conditions, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall driving safety.
