OpenFOAM – cloud HPC
Running Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis with OpenFOAM often demands significant computational resources and time. Complex simulations involving intricate geometries, advanced physics models, and high-resolution meshes can strain even the most powerful workstations. The solution? Leverage the power of the OpenFOAM cloud!
CFD FEA SERVICE SRL provides a robust Cloud High-Performance Computing (HPC) service perfectly tailored to meet the demanding hardware requirements of OpenFOAM simulations. By migrating your OpenFOAM workloads to the cloud, you can unlock unprecedented speed, scalability, and flexibility, enabling you to tackle more complex problems and accelerate your design cycles.
OpenFOAM: A Versatile Open-Source CFD Solver
OpenFOAM is a powerful and versatile open-source CFD software package originally developed in England. Its ability to handle a wide range of flow phenomena makes it an ideal choice for various engineering applications. OpenFOAM supports:
- Incompressible and Compressible Flows: Simulate fluids with varying densities.
- Turbulent Flow Modeling: Accurately capture the complexities of turbulent flows.
- Transient and Steady-State Simulations: Analyze both time-dependent and time-independent flow behavior.
- Heat Transfer Analysis: Model heat transfer mechanisms like conduction, convection, and radiation.
- CHT (Conjugate Heat Transfer): Simulate heat transfer between solid and fluid domains.
- Porous Media Modeling: Analyze flow through porous materials.
- Turbomachinery Simulations: Design and optimize rotating machinery components.
CFD FEA SERVICE offers comprehensive support for OpenFOAM, ensuring you can harness its full potential. We provide access to multiple OpenFOAM versions, catering to your specific project requirements:
- OpenFOAM Foundation (openfoam.org): We offer the latest stable releases from the OpenFOAM Foundation, enumerated with progressive version numbers (e.g., v6, v7, v8, v9, v10, v11, v12). These versions emphasize stability and community-driven development.
- ESI Group and OpenCFD (openfoam.com): We also provide access to versions released by ESI Group and OpenCFD, identified by the year/month of their release (e.g., v1912, v2006, v2012, v2106, v2112, v2206, v2212, v2306, v2312, v2406, v2412). These versions often incorporate advanced features and specific industry solutions.
Why Run OpenFOAM on the Cloud?
The Cloud HPC service offered by CFD FEA SERVICE allows you to run your OpenFOAM analysis using readily available cloud hardware resources, providing massive computing power on demand. Once your case files are prepared, simply upload them to the cloud and launch your simulation.
- Unlimited Scalability: Easily allocate the precise number of resources needed for your simulation, whether it’s a few cores or hundreds. No more waiting for hardware availability or being constrained by local machine limitations.
- Complex Modeling Made Possible: Tackle complex simulations involving transient solvers and CHT (Conjugate Heat Transfer) that would be impossible to run on a standard workstation.
- Focus on CFD, Not IT: Leverage a system maintained by IT experts, allowing you to concentrate on your CFD setup and analysis, leaving the infrastructure management to us.
- Parallelize and Conquer: Run multiple CFD scenarios simultaneously to explore design variations, optimize performance, and quickly identify the best solution for your needs, such as optimizing a smoke evacuation system.
- Faster Time to Results: significantly reduce simulation time, allowing you to get quicker feedback and make data-driven decisions.
By embracing the OpenFOAM cloud, you can elevate the level of service you offer to your clients and be more confident in the accuracy and timeliness of your results.
