CFD Simulation
and Thermal Analysis
ICEMM is a company with extensive experience in the analysis, simulation and optimization of fluids using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques.
The use of CFD simulation techniques allows us to analyze complex phenomena associated with fluid behavior, including interaction with structures (FSI) or particles (DEM), and in particular those problems related to hydraulic engineering (internal flow and free sheet), static and dynamic wind loads, heat transfer, combustion and HVAC systems (heating, ventilation and air conditioning).
For the execution of our projects at ICEMM we use the main existing CFD simulation tools: Ansys Fluent, MSC Cradle, Flow3D and Acusolve (Altair).
