Simulation Software for Fluids and SolidsSimulation of mixing with double interlocking blades
The simulation of mixing with double interlocking blades can perfectly be performed using NOGRID points CFD software.
Improve product performance and reduce costs
Mixing simulation helps to understand the flow within a mixing chamber or stirring vessel, allowing quick identification of design and operational improvements. This leads to enhanced product performance and reductions in both production and maintenance costs.
Compute any conceivable agitator geometry with mixing simulation
NOGRID offers a broad range of rheology models, including those commonly used in the polymer and chemical industry. Thanks to NOGRID's unique capability to handle moving parts within the fluid domain, it enables the simulation of any mixing geometry and operating mode, such as
- rotating and counterwise rotating screws, possibly moving up and down periodically at the same time
- overlapping operation ranges of moving parts as found in twin-blade agitators
- free surfaces at inlets or for different fluid levels or for fast rotating agitators with high centrifugal forces
Benefit of very short computation time
One of the key advantages of NOGRID's meshless CFD software is its fast preprocessing - no need for mesh generation - combined with the outstanding short computation times, even for complex moving parts typically found in twin screw extruders.
Advantages of the NOGRID software
NOGRID unites the capabilities to handle free surface flow and moving parts in the domain. This leads to the following advantages:
- fully 3D computation solving the complete Navier-Stokes equations
- easy and intuitive setup for mixing cases
- freely definable material properties by equations or curves
- evaluation of the mixing quality
- open or closed domains including inflow and outflow areas (non-batch mode)
- moving of the mixers in any direction
Why choose Nogrid?
NOGRID provides professional CFD software for the simulation of fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, and chemical reactions. Its efficient modelling workflow helps engineers analyse flow behaviour, evaluate designs and make informed decisions without creating a conventional volume mesh.
Faster model preparation
With NOGRID, only the geometry boundary needs to be meshed. The finite points inside the fluid domain are generated automatically according to user-defined settings, both at the start of the simulation and during the calculation.
This approach reduces preprocessing effort and makes it easier to prepare complex geometries and cavities for simulation.
Efficient CFD workflow
The modelling process follows four straightforward steps:
Build the geometry. Mesh the boundary. Define the simulation. Start the calculation.
NOGRID is designed to provide short computation times, including for applications involving complex cavities. Engineers can use the resulting data to examine flow distribution and other relevant flow characteristics.
Better insight into fluid-flow processes
CFD solves the fundamental equations governing fluid flow. NOGRID software enables engineers to predict and analyse the behaviour of fluids and related physical processes before or alongside physical testing.
The simulation results can support:
- evaluation and comparison of design alternatives
- optimisation of construction and operating parameters
- improved planning reliability
- reduction of development time and testing effort
- faster progression from design to market or operation
