Thermal & Fluid Simulation Services

Scientific research thermal & fluid simulation technology.

Thermal & Fluid Simulation is a sophisticated computational methodology integrating fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and numerical analysis to model, predict, and analyze heat transfer and fluid flow behaviors within complex systems relevant to scientific research. It serves as a virtual laboratory, enabling researchers to study phenomena that are impractical, dangerous, or cost-prohibitive to replicate through traditional physical experiments. By solving complex partial differential equations—including the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid motion and Fourier's Law for heat conduction—this simulation technology provides precise, quantifiable data on thermal and fluid dynamics across microscale to macroscale research scenarios. Unlike conventional experimental methods, thermal & fluid simulation allows for full control over variables, enabling isolation of specific phenomena to test hypotheses and validate theoretical models. In scientific research, it spans disciplines from materials science and aerospace engineering to environmental science and biomedical research, addressing critical questions such as heat distribution in nanoscale materials, fluid flow in microfluidic devices, and thermal stress in advanced reactor components. The technology leverages high-performance computing (HPC) and advanced numerical algorithms, including finite element method (FEM) and finite volume method (FVM), to handle the multi-scale, multi-physics complexity of real-world research systems, delivering insights that drive academic discoveries and scientific innovation.

Types of Thermal & Fluid Simulation Services

Heat conduction & radiation simulation for research.

Heat Conduction & Radiation Simulation Service

Our Heat Conduction & Radiation Simulation Service focuses on modeling heat transfer in solid systems and via electromagnetic radiation, addressing research scenarios where fluid flow is negligible or absent—critical for fields such as materials science, high-temperature research, and space science. We provide detailed simulations of both steady-state and transient heat conduction, accounting for temperature-dependent material properties, thermal contact resistance, and anisotropic heat transfer in composite materials. For example, in materials research, we can simulate heat conduction during ceramic sintering, helping researchers optimize processing parameters to achieve desired material properties. In geological research, we model heat distribution in subsurface formations to support geothermal energy studies.

CFD simulation service for scientific research.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulation Service

Our Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulation Service is a core offering for scientific research, focusing on modeling fluid flow (gas, liquid, multiphase) and its interaction with heat transfer across a wide range of research scenarios. We provide single-phase flow simulation for low-speed, small-scale systems such as microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices and high-speed, large-scale systems such as wind tunnels. For microfluidics research, we simulate fluid mixing in asymmetric inlet configurations, helping researchers optimize device design to prevent fouling and improve reaction efficiency. In aerodynamics research, we model laminar and turbulent flow around research prototypes, using advanced turbulence models (RANS, LES, DNS) to capture complex flow structures.
