CFD Consulting at VETA

CFD is a specialised field and many companies can't justify in-house skills. Others wish to 'test the water' before purchasing. VETA is able to provide a full range of CFD services:

• Access to some of Australia's leading practitioners;
• Using modern and efficient meshing and solving tools;
• Able to handle complex 3D CAD geometry and create appropriate CFD models;
• Supercomputers available for larger solutions;
• Optimisation, parametisation and automation;
• Expertise in a range of applications;
• Clients include many well know companies.

Analyses are performed using the general purpose CFD computer program, STAR-CD. The services can be broadly grouped into categories based on the general goals of the project:

Design and Design Assessment - Simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer for a component, system, or aerodynamic shape with the goal of providing design assessment and recommendations for improvement through iterative design modification.

Engineering Method Development - Extension of the use of CFD as an analysis tool for an application where the modeling method is unclear and/or necessary user coding does not exist.

CFD Validation - Numerical re-creation of an experimental investigation to provide data for assessment of current CFD capabilities and code validation.
