Cabin Aerodynamics: CFD and FEA for The Passenger’s Thermal Comfort & Human Thermal Modeling, Aeroacoustic analysis of HVAC components, fans, blowers, air channels
FEA & CFD Based Simulation Design Analysis Virtual prototyping MultiObjective Optimization
The passenger’s thermal and acoustic comfort is an essential design-criterion for the air-conditioning and customization of a cabin. In industry, engineers conduct costly and time-consuming test series with specifically built cabin mock-ups to obtain some information about the expected passenger’s sensation of comfort already in the design process.
Aerodynamics, underhood thermal management, rotating equipment analysis of pumps, turbochargers, fans, etc. and aero- acoustics and vibro-acoustics consideration taken into account to capture real-world cabin condition of passengers and satisfy thermal comfort and noise level limitations.
CFD Simulation can predict the passenger’s comfort by means of advanced software and to allow for an interactive layout of an optimized cabin. The CFD computations of the air flow in the cabin’s interior and the flow through cabin air outlets and noise level is optimized with the help flow and acoustic simulations to achieve design specifications.
Passenger Thermal Comfort
Our engineers use CFD tools in co-simulation with 1D system modeling softwares for develop and test control strategies, and study the impact of the system on overall vehicle thermal management, analyze thermal interactions between air conditioning loops or heat pump systems, the cooling system, additional heaters, and the cabin or vehicle interior, and control the cabin cool down or heating processes.
Enteknograte’s engineering team with deep knowledge in CFD and FEA and uses advanced softwares such as Siemens Star-ccm+, Ansys Fluent, Abaqus and Matlab Simulink to check the impact of exterior conditions and technological choices on the air temperature and humidity within the cabin, and assess human thermal comfort sensation and study and optimize the design of air conditioning and heat pump systems to ascertain that the system provides optimal passenger comfort in any innovative vehicle (VTOL, e-VTOL and UAM – Urban Air Mobility).

Rotors Aerodynamic Simulation via Coupled FEA (MBD)/CFD Method: Aeroelastic Behavior Assessment
The blade vortex interactions (BVI) generate high load peaks and represent one of the main noise sources of a helicopter. In contrast to the rotors the flow around the fuselage is basically incompressible and many helicopters have a blunt body with large flow separations behind the fuselage. Depending on the flight conditions there may be strong interactions between main and tail rotors, rotor head, fuselage and the empennage, e.g. the tail shake phenomenon which is mainly caused by separations behind the rotor head.

Aerodynamics Simulation can cover the full speed range of low speed, transonic, supersonic and hypersonic flows as well as turbulence and flow control. System properties such as mass flow rates and pressure drops and fluid dynamic forces such as lift, drag and pitching moment can be readily calculated in addition to the wake effects. This data can be used directly for design purposes or as in input to a detailed stress analysis. Aerodynamics CFD simulation with sophisticated tools such as MSC Cradle, Ansys Fluent and Siemens Star-ccm+ allows the steady-state and transient aerodynamics of heating ventilation & air conditioning (HVAC) systems, vehicles, aircraft, structures, wings and rotors to be computed with extremely high levels of accuracy.

Sound caused by pressure oscillation of fluid, such as wind noise, and sound caused by resonance can be predicted using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and a weak compressible flow model. A Fast Fourier Transform calculation can be used within the CFD software to predict the frequency of noise. Predicting the noise generated by complex flows from steady CFD solutions allows us to study the noise generated by turbulent flows from CFD solutions.
