Airflow Modeling

Value
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology is an advanced tool for precision computerized airflow modeling. For both new and existing air distribution systems, CFD modeling can save clients’ time otherwise spent on conventional design and troubleshooting methods, as well as increase confidence limits for aerodynamic solutions.

Services
Clients can see how their facilities will perform under a variety of simulated room layouts, airflow velocities, and air handling designs. IDC's airflow services include:

•

Cleanroom Airflow Modeling

•

Outside Airflow Modeling

•

HVAC

•

Natural Ventilation Modeling

Expertise

•

Enhance performance of industrial HVAC systems.

•

Optimize cleanroom performance to meet design criteria for airflow parallelism, velocity uniformity, and temperature variation.

•

Optimize size and configuration of air distribution plenums.

•

Analyze airflow over tools to minimize vortex shedding, flow disruption, and contaminant particle migration.

•

Model airflow within minienvironments.

•

Analyze heat transfer, air mixing and temperature control.

•

Model air movement around buildings to determine wake effects, optimum stack heights and strategic location.
