As a gold sponsor of the COMSOL conference 2017 Boston, CAEaid held an exhibition booth and presented our consulting services to the conference attendees from different countries.
We also held a workshop titled "Coupled Thermal-Mechanical Simulation for Reliability Analysis of Product Design with COMSOL Multiphysics".
One paper titled "Modeling and Simulation of Control Valves via COMSOL Multiphysics" was also presented in the CFD section. The abstract is listed below: Control valves are widely used to control fluid flow in various engineering applications. However, because of control valves’ challenging characteristics, it is still difficult for scientists and engineers to well understand all the necessary engineering phenomena of control valves, no matter via experiment or via simulation. This study aims to effectively model control valves and simulate the inherently multiphysics problem by use of COMSOL Multiphysics. A typical example is simulated to show that the modeling method has the ability of predicting complicated fully coupled fluid-structure interaction when the fluid pipeline shape is deformed, the valve sleeve material is hyperelastic and there is internal surface contact interaction.
