Optimize your design with computational fluid dynamics analysis

Artisan employs the latest in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis capabilities. Alternate design parameters and fluid behavior can easily be explored using ANSYS CFX in concert with Autodesk Inventor.

Integrating 3-D modeling with Computation Fluid Dynamics analysis lets us quickly solve design problems, saving you money and lead-time as well as yielding a more cost-effective final solution.

Sample CFD Analyses

Steam Jet Ejector Design Optimization

Induced steam jet flow fields can be simulated in an integrated 3-D model of the equipment to investigate various flow rates, optimize design parameters and find design limitations. The following analysis series illustrates the flow field of a typical JET-VAC® nozzle assembly.

Stripper Design Validation

At Artisan, all systems are based on thorough testing and design considerations. In the analysis below, the process side of a stripper is checked for consistent stream lines and residence time through the shell joint. The jacketed side of the stripper is also reviewed for pressure drop and heat transfer optimization.

Limitations on shell length due to pressure loss can adversely affect equipment cost. By optimizing pressure loss on the jacket side of the stripper, Artisan can maximize shell length.
