The Importance of CFD in Modern HVAC Simulation
Introduction Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems have an abundance of applications in today’s world. They keep astronauts alive in space [1], prevent infection in operating rooms by maintaining 25 air changes per hour [2] and preserve artworks in museums by stabilising conditions to 20degC (68degF) and 50% relative humidity all year round [3]. As […]

How CFD Is Helping Cities Beat The Heat With Thermal Comfort Simulation
The temperature of our cities is rising by 0.5 degC (0.9 degF) per decade [1] with some urban areas experiencing increases of 18% in just four years [2]. Although this may seem inconsequential, recent studies have linked the effects of hotter cities to thousands of premature deaths [3]. This has triggered city councils to implement […]

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 […]
