A vaccine storage facility being constructed by Agility Pharma Logistics in Saudi Arabia requires an in-depth investigation of airflow dynamics and cooling processes within the warehouse through CFD analysis. To address this need, the contractor responsible for the cooling system has engaged Niharika Computational Engineering Solutions Pvt Ltd to perform a thorough CFD analysis and evaluate the air distribution in the proposed ducting system. The project scope includes the creation of a 3D CAD model as needed for the CFD analysis, the generation of a CFD mesh, and the execution of a detailed CFD analysis to assess flow development.
The HVAC contractor has developed an air jet impingement cooling system utilizing traditional engineering calculations. This system requires evaluation of its effectiveness through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis. Ensuring that air reaches all areas where vaccines are stored and maintaining a uniform temperature are critical requirements. The primary goal of the CFD analysis is to examine the flow characteristics within the impinging nozzle system and the resulting temperature distribution.
The NCES team creates a 3D CAD model suitable for CFD analysis, utilizing the 2D Autocad drawings as a foundation. This CAD development is carried out using PTC Creo CAD software.
A poly hex core mesh has been created for the simplified CAD model, featuring a fine mesh resolution in the supply air duct nozzle units and in areas with high gradients. The mesh comprises 16 million cells and demonstrates quality metrics that align with the best practices of CFD analysis.
Initial CFD analysis indicated that enhancements were necessary for the nozzle distribution header. The NCES team collaborated effectively with the Client team to refine the design, resulting in improved flow distribution performance.

CFD analysis for underground transport tunnel:Al Shamiya Expansion Project,Makkah,Saudi Arabia
Underground tunnel infrastructure offers faster direct routes and excellent connectivity between communities. The tunnel needs a reliable ventilation system for continuous air provision to limit the concentration of air pollutants during normal tunnel operation and to transport smoke gases out of the tunnel during emergency smoke extraction. Our Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation results have enabled our client to understand the flow development in the complete tunnel and gain confidence in the proposed Jet fans and various operating combinations of motorized dampers for smoke extraction in an emergency. Our precise CFD analysis results have enabled our client to make conscious engineering decisions to achieve better resource efficiency and safety compliance. Read More
CFD analysis to predict flow development in wind turbine blade mold facility-LM Wind Power-India
We carried out CFD analysis for the HVAC Jet Nozzle system proposed in the Wind turbine blade molding division at the LM wind power blade manufacturing plant in Bangalore. The blade manufacturing plant consists of four molding bays; for each bay, cold air will be supplied through 2 AHU units. Each AHU unit is connected to 40 Jet Nozzles. The main objective of CFD analysis is to analyze airflow, air-impinging angle, and the flow regime. The flow regime plays a significant role from Health and safety perspective. We have explained our results to the Management of LM Wind power and recommended suggestions for Improvement. Read More
CFD analysis for General Electric data center,Bihar,India
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is extensively used in data center projects to study the flow development and temperature field and identify the thermal hot spots in the projects design stage. CFD analysis results enable the thermal designer to make well-informed decisions in the design stage and eliminate all the uncertainties that may affect the electronic equipment mounted in the racks. We carried out CFD analysis for the large data center under construction in the Bihar state of India by Shapoorji and Pallonji EPC company, one of the largest EPC Companies in India. Our CFD analysis results have enabled our customers to optimize the air-cooling system and ultimately to realize an efficient, safer, and effective data center cooling mechanism. Read More
Optimization of hot and cold aisle rack/cabinet configuration in a data center using CFD analysis
The hot and cold aisles in the data center are part of an energy-efficient layout for server racks and other computing equipment. The goal of a hot/cold aisle configuration is to manage airflow in a way that conserves energy and lowers cooling costs. A containment system isolates hot and cold aisles from each other and prevents hot and cold air from mixing. Our client is executing a turnkey contract for a bank data center in Kuwait. We worked with our client from the beginning stage of the project and assisted them with our Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis results. Our CFD analysis results have enabled our client to arrive at the best operating sequence of the cooling units. Read More
