How accurate is CFD simulation compared to real-world testing?

With proper boundary conditions and mesh refinement, CFD typically achieves 5-15% accuracy for temperature predictions. We validate our models against test data when available and use conservative assumptions for critical designs.

What information do you need to start a CFD project?

We need CAD geometry, component power dissipation values, ambient conditions, and any airflow requirements. For existing products, we also request any available test data for model validation.

Can you simulate liquid cooling systems?

Yes, we simulate both air and liquid cooling systems. For liquid cooling, we model cold plates, coolant flow distribution, and heat exchanger performance using conjugate heat transfer analysis.

How long does a typical CFD analysis take?

Simple analyses can be completed in 2-3 days. Complex system-level simulations with multiple operating conditions typically take 1-2 weeks including mesh refinement and optimization iterations.
