CFDWAYS is expanding into thermal management for battery systems, electronics, data centers and next-generation industrial equipment.
The physics in this industry group — thermal management, multiphase flow, natural and forced convection — is the same class of problem CFDWAYS has worked on for years in heavy industry, differing only in length scale and in how sensitive the result is to temperature.
Precisely because the scale is small and the temperature margins are narrow, calibrating the model against measurements matters even more here.
A new industry group for CFDWAYS. Completed projects and validation data are currently concentrated in energy, process industry and HVAC. For this group, CFDWAYS transfers the method and the class of model validated in those industries, and assesses your problem before scoping.

The life and safety of a battery pack depend directly on whether the heat generated is dissipated evenly.
Try heat sink layouts and air paths inside the CAD environment, before a physical prototype exists.
Learn about FloEFD →Essentially an HVAC problem at high heat density — the same class of model used for industrial ventilation, at a different power scale.
See HVAC & building design →Eliminate weak options at the design stage instead of building a prototype and measuring it.
Automated design optimization →CAD model, heat dissipation, ambient conditions and the allowable temperature limits.
Geometry simplified only as far as the thermal paths and air flow stay correct.
The current state and the layout options are simulated and compared by hot-spot temperature.
Report, visual results and specific layout recommendations.
Send a description of the problem — CFDWAYS replies with the class of model that applies and the data needed to calibrate it.
