Alliant Engineering specializes in solving complex fluid flow and heat transfer problems using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and other advanced CAE solutions.
AE utilizes Cosmos FloWorks to its fullest extent to provide our customers with the widest range of flow simulation capabilities. Cosmos FloWorks is integrated with SolidWorks to provide robust CFD-based design optimization.
Capabilities
AE researched the latest hardware and software technologies and developed an optimum system for performing computational fluid dynamics. Some of our capabilities include:
- Internal Flow
- External Flow
- Transient Flow
- Turbulent Flow
- Incompressible Viscous Flow
- Compressible Flow (subsonic, transonic, and supersonic)
- Heat Transfer (conduction, natural and forced convection, and radiation)
- Porous Media (flow through filters and other porous media)
- Non-Newtonian Liquid Flow (blood, toothpaste, etc…)
- Moving Wall Flow
- Rotating Reference Frame (pumps and impellers)
- Cavitation Detection (for water systems only)
The AE Team
Our CFD flow modeling capabilities can fully support, complement, and enhance our customers’ engineering capabilities in product design and manufacturing. Our flexible business model allows us to provide all of our engineering services to our customer base in the form they want them. AE regularly provides on-site engineering assistance on a consulting or contract basis. We also support many customers through more traditional means with in-house consulting on a per-project or per-product basis.
