CFD Modeling Via the Internet

By DE Editors

CHAM Ltd. (London) has expanded its interactive on-line CFD service. PHOENICS On-Line provides unrestricted and immediate access to CFD modeling software.

PHOENICS On-Line has been introduced as an alternative or supplement to standard licensing arrangements. Customers purchase an account to access PHOENICS for unlimited use during any given calendar month using a single credit card payment. This caters to customers wishing to make short-term or project-based use of the code.

PHOENICS is used for modeling processes involving fluid flow, heat or mass transfer, chemical reaction, and combustion occurring within engineering equipment or the environment. The range of industrial applications for PHOENICS include simulating internal and external air flows; complex multi-phase reacting flows needed within the chemical, process, and power-generation industries; HVAC; and thermal comfort as well as fire and smoke hazards in and around buildings.

A “Look Learn Try” button offers users free connection to investigate tutorial and applications examples using the PHOENICS Commander before any commitment to use the service is required. 

Further, CHAM can create individual examples and undertake on-line interactive demonstrations of cases specified by prospective clients, functioning as a virtual sales office.  These examples are then left on-line for the customer to evaluate, modify, and extend at his or her leisure. When authorized, CHAM’s Support Team can gain access to client cases to provide “live” and interactive advice and support.
