Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning are the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. Quality air distribution in your workplace or building is determined by the people's thermal comfort as well as the system's energy efficiency. Simply put, air distribution refers to how air is delivered, evacuated, and circulated throughout an area. The layout and components of the air distribution system are important to the system's proper operation. Adequate systems can not only improve the comfort of those who use the space, but they can also lower energy cost. With the emergence of cloud computing, virtual testing of designs and performance optimization have become possible through cloud-based CFD apps.
The Autonomous HVAC CFD App is a cloud-based app for predicting thermal comfort using flow simulations. The app provides a web browser-based graphical interface that allows users to explore the entire design space and evaluate the occupant thermal comfort for multiple HVAC design configurations and several thermal load scenarios.
During this webinar you will be introduced to the capabilities and applications of the Autonomous HVAC CFD App for simulating various head load scenarios for different spaces. In case you will not be able to attend the live webinar, you can still register and receive the full recording of the session through your email.

The current global pandemic of coronavirus (Covid-19) has created many questions on the spread of the virus in closed rooms and the role played by HVAC systems in its transmission. Although many government authorities have provided guidelines on social distancing and preventive measures, the question remains, "Are the currently installed HVAC systems, which are designed to provide thermal comfort, capable of preventing the transmission of the virus?" Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can provide the solution by providing insights on airflow behavior and contamination travel inside the closed space.

This webinar presents two case studies on how improved HVAC ventilation strategies can reduce the transmission of contaminants in closed spaces. Today, our healthcare workers are on the frontline in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. As they work closely with the infected patients, their safety is of utmost importance! So, we have a case study for you wherein we show the airflow behavior inside a rapid deployment isolation room. Working in office spaces is going to be inevitable when the Covid-19 pandemic ends. While doing so, it will be necessary to ensure that the HVAC system does not spread the contaminants amongst the employees. Our case studies show you how indoor ventilation can be improved using better HVAC systems and solutions such as air purifiers.

Torque is an essential parameter in the design of rotary valves such as butterfly valves, ball valves, plug valves, etc. It plays an important role in the actuator selection in the case of motor-operated valves. Hydrodynamic torque or simply dynamic torque has a significant share of the total torque the valve shaft has to undergo during valve operation. Understanding the effect of dynamic torque and its variation with the opening percentage of the valve can give designers a better insight into crucial design improvements for torque reduction in their valve design.

Autonomous Valve CFD (AVC) is a CFD application that runs from your web browser. It predicts the performance of control valves using fluid flow simulations. The app predicts the coefficient of hydrodynamic torque for all the opening percentages for your control valve design and generates a curve illustrating the nature of variation of the torque coefficient.

In this webinar, understand how simulationHub helps in predicting and analyzing the hydrodynamic torque in different types of rotary valves.

Understanding flow through the valve is essential in optimum valve design. CFD helps in predicting the valve performance and gives a good insight into the flow physics. This involves a series of CFD simulations for different valve openings (minimum to maximum) and calculates the Cv value at each condition. With the emergence of cloud computing, virtual testing of designs and performance optimization has become possible through a cloud-based CFD app, with a reduced need for producing physical prototypes.

simulationHub's Autonomous Valve CFD (AVC) is a cloud-based app for predicting the performance of valves using fluid flow simulations. The app provides a web browser-based graphical interface that allows designers to perform flow simulations on their valve geometry and compute valve flow coefficient curves Cv & Kv and coefficient of hydrodynamic torque Cdt.
