Some real cases

Case 1

Client: heat exchanger manufacturer
Task: Mathematical model and numerical solver of heat exchangers.
Result: the amount of needed tests on new products was reduced by more than 50%

Case 2

Client: wind turbine manufacturer
Task: Engineering tool to integrate blade stability analysis and optimize blade parameters
Result: The engineer time spent on blade stability analysis and optimization was reduced from 14 days to 2 hours.

Case 3

Client: wind turbine manufacturer
Task: Optimization of cooling system
Result: the optimization of inlets and exhausts was able to reduce pressure losses and hence power consumption of about 15%. Furthermore smaller and cheaper fans could be used and power consumption of about 15%. Optimization of integrated cooling system to reduce the overall system costs. CFD and a customized dynamic model were used to carry out the task.
