CFD simulation of fusegates for reservoir dams
OptiFluides provides CFD simulations of spillways for hydroelectric facilities. In the present study, we are working in partnership with Hydroplus, designer of the Fusegates, to...
Vibrations of a sluice gate
OptiFluides carries out CFD simulations to identify physical flow instabilities, analyze their consequences on equipment and propose solutions to eliminate them.
Particle image velocimetry
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a non-intrusive velocity field measurement technique that OptiFluides can perform.
Pressure drop in a hydraulic directional control valve
OptiFluides performs CFD simulations to determine head losses and flow distribution in complex hydraulic singularities, enabling better characterization of hydraulic distributors, geometric bifurcations or other...
Numerical modeling of Panama Canal locks
OptiFluides worked in partnership with the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône to model the new locks on the canal, to enable it to be enlarged.
Discharge coefficients calculation for the Vaugris dam
OptiFluides has a long history of working alongside the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône, notably in the characterization of flow/head laws for flap gates or bottom...
Dam siphon priming and flow rate
OptiFluides was contracted by a hydromechanical equipment manufacturer to design a dam siphon, in order to calculate the flow rate and validate the priming phase.
