nablaDot is made of a group of engineers with a wide experience in fluid simulation and its application to the industry.
To do this, we use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques to solve fluid flow, heat transfer and chemical reaction problems.
Thanks to CFD we can help you to better understand the fluid behaviour in a piece of equipment or process, as well as to analyze and propose solutions to specific problems in a system.
We also can get involved in your R&D cycles to optimize your processes and support you with the prototype design.
We invite you to visit our webpage to get to know our work and how we can begin to collaborate.
Solutions
ENVIRONMENT
Simulation techniques are used more and more every day to support the decision making regarding processes that contribute to the improvement of the environment.
Find out about the service areas related to the environment where nablaDot has successfully applied the computational engineering.
Renewable energies, emission reduction or the study of pollutant dispersion are fields where nablaDot has a wide experience. Recently, we have developed a tool that allows to couple local simulations (using CFD) with forcasting or weather reanalysis (carried out by means of mesoscale models). With this tool, we can assess the wind local field in any area (wind farms, rural or urban environments) in a highly detailed way. This is key to reach precise results in simulations applied to renewable energies or pollutant dispersion.
ENERGY
Combusting systems are complex and they must comply with diverse requirements, such as a proper heat transfer, low levels of unburnt fuel, pollutant concetrations under certain regulated limits and operation conditions that avoid damages in the boiler as a consequence of thermal fatigue, corrosion or erosion, among other phenomena.
At nablaDot we have a large background in this area, acquired through many projects in this field..
Quite often compromise solutions must be found to these objectives; for example, the operating modes that diminish the pollutant generation usually increase the unburnt fuel production, and thus decrease the thermal efficiency of the boiler.
At nablaDot we analyze all these phenomena in a comprehensive way by means of simulation, studying the influence of changes in the geometry, fuel specifications or air distribution.
INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES
Fluids are present in many industrial processes, and correctly managing them is key to the proper development of these processes. To this end, CFD is a tool more and more used every day for the design of industrial equipment and processes and retrofitting analysis.
Here we show some of our experience.
Some examples of industrial applications where nablaDot has successfully used CFD techniques include systems where heat transfer has a relevant role (heat exchangers, furnaces, vapour generators, condensers), ventilation systems, pipe networks, ducts, separation processes (cyclones, electrostatic precipitators), tanks and valves.
Our clients:
Working with us
Our experience on CFD is available to help your company on the design and improvement of your products, equipment and processes. We support you as consultants, with turnkey products or as partners actively involved in your R&D cycles of your company.
SINGULAR PROJECTS
This sort of projects refer to the classic approximation where the client wants to analyze an existing problem, to gain knowledge about his process or to develop a new system and wants to externalize most of the work.
If this is the case, we propose a way to deal with the problem, typically in several phases and with a great flexibility, we execute the project while keeping an intimate contact with the client, and finally we present the results of our analysis and the main conclusions achieved.
TURNKEY PROJECTS
Sometimes our clients wish to carry out themselves the development of their product or process, but they do not have the tools or knowledge necessary to do it with the required accuracy.
In this case, we can develop ad hoc models for your specific problem and provide training to use them. Depending on the needs and preferences of the client, we extend the capabilities of the software already in use or we create a new tool.
COLLABORATING PROJECTS
One of our lines of work is the participation in collaboration projects for the development of models or tools oriented to the improvement of products and processes.
To do so, we associate with other companies or institutions, with whom we collaborate closely to achieve the aimed objectives. In this sort of projects, financing may come from private initiatives or by the participation in public financing calls.
