CREDIBILITY OF CFD SIMULATION RESULTS
The results obtained from traditional engineering calculations are relatively easier to verify. However, due to the complexity involved in iterating non-linear partial differential equations, checking CFD calculations can be tedious, while conducting physical validations to determine their accuracy may be impractical or economically prohibitive. Consequently, users often have to rely solely on CFD results to make informed decisions, which may involve safety consequences or financial stakes amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. Therefore, achieving accurate CFD results is critical to inspiring confidence in the decision-making process.
The accuracy of CFD results depends on six key factors:
- Boundary conditions
- Engineering knowledge of the subject matter
- Experience and track record of the firm in executing similar CFD projects
- Qualifications and expertise of the CFD specialist performing the simulation
- Quality control system
- Simulation software and hardware employed
One of the most crucial factors influencing the accuracy of CFD results is the correct specification of boundary conditions (BCs). Each mathematical equation requires meaningful values at the fluid domain boundaries to generate reliable results. These numerical values, known as boundary conditions, can be defined in various ways, with multiphase and reactive phenomena requiring more complex specifications than single-phase phenomena. Incorrect or inaccurate BCs will compromise the reliability of the results, making it imperative to establish accurate BCs before modelling and simulation commence. At jimmylea, we work closely with clients to ensure that the BCs provided are meaningful and accurate. This collaborative approach ensures that the CFD results meet the study objectives. Our track record includes delivering projects across multiple industries, consistently exceeding client expectations in both the private and public sectors.
