Valve Rigid-Body Simulation

Studying moving bodies effects on flows Moving bodies immersed in fluid flows are found in a wide range of contexts, with Oil & Gas being a particularly relevant one. This project focuses on the "Piping and Valves" equipment category, a specific field often encountered in the Energy and Oil & Gas sectors. In particular, it analyzes the interaction occurring between a Variable Orifice Valve plate when it is operated while immersed in gas flowing inside the valve.

Drill Bit Flow Simulation

Understanding complex flow patterns The drilling industry operates in extremely harsh environments, making optimal equipment design critical. Proper design ensures not only operational reliability but also influences process performance metrics such as drilling speed. This project focuses on the flow around a drill bit, composed mainly of cutting elements and fluid nozzles. The fluid injected through the nozzles serves to remove rock fragments generated by the cutting elements.
