Simulation Water Wave around cylindrical Body
This example shows the possibilities of simulation of water waves using the meshless CFD software NOGRID points. Shown on the left is an ocean water wave slamming against and flowing around a cylindrical body (building).
Due to the special architecture of the cylinder the wave front becomes a special characteristic which is typical for such flows. Integration of the forces acting upon the cylinder helps to evaluate the buildings' stability in many different weather conditions. The effectiveness of architectural improvements can be judged quickly. Based on the geometrical model which can either be imported from your CAD or created with our CAD preprocessor COMPASS you can generate a computer model of a specific geometry in a very short time (compared to mesh-based methods) and see its thermal characteristics in advance.
NOGRID points can be used for the designing of buildings or structures which are forced by water waves. The software helps to understand the flow by visualization of the mass, momentum and heat transfer of single and multiple phases. You receive integral quantities which you can use to analyze the forces acting on the walls efficiency.
NOGRID unites abilities to handle multi-phase flows and allows the simulation of any conceivable geometry and operation modes such as
- computation is in full 3D solving complete Navier-Stokes-Equations
- easy and intuitive setup of the free surface flow case
- free definable material properties by equations or curves for each fluid
- large geometries with small gaps or holes
- moving of additional parts or boundaries
- any material combination or the fluids and for the building material
Nogrid's strengths
Easy and fast modelling: Build geometry, mesh boundary, setup the case and start computation
What is CFD from NOGRID?
CFD solves the fundamental equations that define the fluid flow process. With CFD software from NOGRID every engineer makes better decisions by predicting, analyzing and controlling fluid flow, heat and mass transfer or chemical reaction. By using NOGRID software for flow modeling you receive information on essential flow characteristics as for example flow distribution. Using it additional to testing and experimentation NOGRID software helps to improve the evaluation of your design – resulting in better construction and operation parameters, increasing planning security and money savings due to faster time to the marketplace for your product or process.
