AI-assisted CFD simulations for enhanced fluid flow analysis

Consulting service
University

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland offers AI-assisted CFD simulations that incorporate experimental fluid flow data to improve accuracy and efficiency. These simulations are ideal for industries requiring precise fluid dynamics analysis, such as absorbent product design.

Overview

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland presents an advanced AI-assisted computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation service designed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of fluid flow analysis. By integrating artificial intelligence with traditional CFD methods, this solution addresses the challenges of simulating complex fluid interactions with surfaces. The approach reduces computational time and improves precision by incorporating experimental rheological data and leveraging Design of Experiments (DoE) methodologies. This innovation is particularly suited for industries where fluid dynamics play a critical role, such as the development of absorbent products.

Technical specifications
  • AI-assisted simulation: Utilizes AI to account for surface interactions and optimize computational resources.
  • Experimental data integration: Incorporates rheological measurements (e.g., viscosity, elasticity) to refine simulation accuracy.
  • Design of Experiments (DoE): Reduces time and increases efficiency by guiding experimental and simulation planning.
  • Application focus: Tailored for analyzing leakage in absorbent products, with potential applications in other industries requiring detailed fluid dynamics analysis.
Technology readiness level

The AI-assisted CFD simulation technology is at TRL 6, indicating that it has been validated in a relevant environment. The service has been successfully utilized in numerous customer and jointly-funded projects, demonstrating its efficacy and practical application potential.
