They imported a computer aided design (CAD) file containing the geometry of the fryer into
FIDAP and created a three-dimensional CFD model with 500,000 cells.
The consultant used
FIDAP to create a quasi 3D finite element model of their initial concept design with about 300,000 elements.
To that end, a "QSO" adjustable-flow poppet valve (supplied by Great Lakes Feed-screws, Tecumseh, Mich.), which allows adjustment of the clearances for each material to be run, was modeled and evaluated with
FIDAP two-dimensional finite-element fluid-analysis software from Fluid Dynamics International, Evanston, Ill.
Fluid Dynamics International's
FIDAP Fluid Dynamics Analysis Package is also based on the finite element method and can be used to simulate a wide range of fluid flows, including heat and mass transfer effects.
[23-25] investigated dispersive and distributive mixing in the kneading region of TSEs using commercially available flow analysis software (
FIDAP) and demonstrated that the shear stresses that develop during distributive mixing and elongational flow components are important.
Hardware: PC or Unix workstation with the Fluent or
Fidap flow modeling software.
Icepak's CFD solver employs the same computational engine used in FDI's general-purpose
FIDAP system, which was established more than 10 years ago and has more than 600 worldwide licenses.
Two such commercial packages have seen use in a plastics setting:
Fidap from Fluid Dynamics Inc.
A key feature of Revision 6.0 of
FIDAP, a finite element program for the analysis of incompressible viscous fluid flow with heat and mass transfer, is a new technique for solving flow equations.
2) have been solved for a power law fluid by using the computational fluid dynamics package
FIDAP (www.fluent.com/software/fidap/).
