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 and […]
How CFD Can Help Meet Dam Safety Regulations
Although the probability of a dam failure is often low, the consequences of one can be catastrophic. In the US, since 1980, there have been on average 24 dam failures per year, with overtopping the most common cause. Overtopping is where excess river flow causes the water level to spill over the top of the […]
How to Simulate the Piston Effect in Train Tunnels
Why do you have to yawn or swallow to equalize the pressure in your ears when travelling through a tunnel? It’s all to do with a phenomena called the piston effect. What is the piston effect? When a train enters a tunnel, it compresses the air ahead of it, as the air it displaces is […]
