Computational Fluid Dynamics

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) involves the solution of transport equations for mass, momentum, and energy in a virtual solution domain. The solution domain represents the geometry of interest (Separator, Fired Heater, Crude Oil Storage tanks, etc.). At Process-CFD Solutions Inc, we have extensive knowledge and experience in using CFD tools for various problems in the Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream segments of Oil & Gas. CFD is an effective tool to optimize and improve efficiency. 

Oil and gas companies can use CFD for the following issues. 

• Mal-distribution Elimination 
• Pressure Drop Reduction in Ducts/Pipelines
• Erosion/Corrosion issues
• Mixing Issues 
• Heat transfer issues
• Conjugate Heat Transfer Problems
• Spray Nozzles Modeling
• Column Hydraulics
• Entrainment Concerns
• Separator Modeling and Troubleshoot
• Rotating Machinery 
• Fired Heater: Combustion
• SCR and AIG Modeling
• Flare Modeling 
• Reactor Modeling
• Surge Modeling
• Multiphase flow Modeling
• Flow-Induced Vibration Modeling
