HPC-Based Design for Smoke Control in Subway Tunnels
WEBINAR ON-DEMAND Explore how advanced HPC technology revolutionized smoke control in subway tunnels through CFD simulations. In the ever-evolving landscape of urban transportation, safety remains paramount. The AENEAS Project, a joint effort by ENGYS, Tecnosistem and CINECA, sets out to tackle a pressing issue – smoke control in subway tunnels. With a staggering 500 lives lost […]
How Air Curtain CFD with HELYX Helped Develop the AirDoor
Whether it is a supermarket, shop or business, the trick to lure in customers is to utilise sights, sounds and smells. This has led to most commercial buildings leaving their main doors open, to appear welcoming and increase footfall. However, operating this way comes at a cost – either by heating the building in winter […]
Helping Supermarkets Save Energy With Refrigeration Aerodynamics Simulation
Climate change, energy costs and energy security have become increasing concerns over the last decade. This has forced industries to prioritise efficiency, which in turn is driving a demand for reliable simulation tools that help companies understand where their products can save energy. In 2023, it was estimated that 3.2% of the UK’s total carbon […]
Smoke Control in Subway Tunnels: Revolutionizing Safety through HPC-Based Engineering Design
Subway tunnel fires have historically posed a significant threat to passenger safety, resulting in numerous fatalities and catastrophic consequences worldwide. According to available data, between 1987 and 2003 alone, over 500 people lost their lives in subway tunnel fires across the globe. In New York City, there were 1,006 subway fires on tracks, in stations […]
HVAC CFD Simulation of Airborne Transmission in Classrooms
The global pandemic has highlighted the importance of indoor air quality and how innovative ventilation strategies can reduce the spread of diseases, saving lives. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19, along with diseases such as tuberculosis, measles and chicken pox, predominantly spread by airborne transmission. This is where small droplets […]
Multipoint Adjoint Topology Optimisation for Automotive HVAC System
In the previous post about multipoint adjoint optimisation I showed the concept and process of our recent developments in this field on a very simple demonstration case (Definitely read this before you continue!). We now have received permission by our partner Volkswagen AG to show the original case that sparked this development. I will introduce […]
