Introduction to the simulation of floodway driving as a case study of free surface analysis.

In this article, we will introduce application examples that can be useful for product development using Simerics' CAE/CFD software. In particular, in Japan, there are many instances of flooding, and there are situations where we must drive on submerged roads.

Introduction to the simulation of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, an example of thermal fluid analysis.

CFD provides a way to shorten product development periods, reduce prototyping costs, and obtain detailed data that is difficult to measure through experiments. In this article, we will introduce application examples that can be useful for product development using Simerics' CAE/CFD software. Heat exchangers have various applications, including boilers, steam generators, and commonly in air conditioners, refrigerators, and automobile radiators. While it is essential to enhance heat transfer efficiency, there is also a demand for miniaturization, which requires various trials and errors in design. However, designing often requires significant costs and time spent on prototyping and experiments. In CFD simulations, computation time can become lengthy depending on the shape of the shell and the number of tubes, but with Simerics' CFD, high-performance thermal fluid analysis can be processed quickly through large-scale parallel computing, allowing for easy and rapid results. The interior of the shell is also modeled in detail, replicating conditions close to actual experiments. This can lead to significant reductions in labor and costs! There are still many reasons to use Simerics' CFD software. Please check the link below or feel free to contact us!

Introduction to airflow simulation in the engine room as a case study of flow analysis.

CFD allows for the shortening of product development periods, reduction of prototyping costs, and acquisition of detailed data that is difficult to measure through experiments. In this article, we will introduce application examples that can be useful for product development using Simerics' CAE/CFD software. To prevent a car from overheating, it is necessary to intake air into the engine room and cool various components, making the design of the grille shape and ventilation parts crucial. Additionally, the grille is not only important for cooling effectiveness but also serves as the car's "face," affecting its appearance. Despite being such an important aspect, designing it requires significant time and costs for prototyping and experiments. CFD simulations can also become large-scale, often leading to longer computation times. However, with Simerics' CFD, high-performance flow analysis can be processed quickly through large-scale parallel computing, allowing for easy and rapid results. It also models the complex engine room in detail, recreating conditions close to actual experiments. This is expected to significantly reduce man-hours and costs!

The energy policy promoted by the government has finally made a significant shift from "quantity to quality." The previous large-scale introduction of renewable energy policies relied on inexpensive foreign-made panels, leading to the chaotic installation of mega-solar farms across Japan's land, which created environmental, landscape, and waste issues. As a result, Japan's energy self-sufficiency rate remains at a mere 13%, and even with the advancement of renewable energy, "import dependence" has not been resolved. In light of this reflection, the focus moving forward will be on "developing domestic energy technologies" and promoting "self-consumption type renewable energy." Among these, perovskite solar cells are lightweight, highly efficient, and offer great flexibility in installation, making them a trump card for "decentralized renewable energy" that can be easily retrofitted onto building walls and roofs. Kenneth Energy Development Co., Ltd. is developing a "selective self-consumption solar power generation system" that utilizes domestic panels and perovskite technology. Based on a track record of 83 projects nationwide and a total construction cost of 908.4 billion yen, it supports the industry's "energy independence." Now, renewable energy is entering an era of "security infrastructure."

"Perovskite solar cells" are once again emerging at the center of Japan's renewable energy policy. Mr. Takai has proposed "nurturing domestic technology for renewable energy" as part of energy and industrial policy, causing related stocks to attract attention in the market as the "Takai trade." The background to this is Japan's long-standing dependence on foreign-made panels in its renewable energy structure. While inexpensive imports have supported proliferation, they have also left a "negative legacy" of forest development, disposal risks, and price fluctuations. If this continues, both the land and energy supply will be controlled by foreign entities—this sense of crisis is the trigger for policy change. Perovskite solar cells possess the trifecta of being lightweight, highly efficient, and low-cost, making installation in existing buildings easy. Development is progressing as a domestic technology, and it is expected to become a mainstay for self-consumption power generation in the future. Kenneth Energy Development Co., Ltd. is developing a "next-generation self-consumption solar power system" with an eye on these perovskite cells. With over 8,000 installations nationwide and expertise in subsidy support, they are turning companies' "energy independence" into reality.
