Abstract:
1. A computerized method of virtual flowbcnch simulation of fluid flow interaction with an object described in at least one design file, comprising: receiving user-defined input via a user interface, the user-defined input including a specification of the at least one design file; accessing the at least one design file; accessing a generic template describing basic geometries of the object, and modifying the basic geometries of the object with the at least one design file; automatically generating surface and volume mesh in the object; automatically simulating fluid flow interaction with the object and measuring and storing predetermined data parameters; automatically checking the predetermined data parameter measurements to determine whether steady state has been reached and whether a predetermined maximum number of time steps has been reached; automatically terminating simulation in response to one of steady state being reached and the predetermined maximum number of time steps being reached; and generating an output of predetermined data parameter measurements.
