Advanced CFD Modeling

Ventilation, Thermal and Flow Analysis

High-fidelity simulation of airflow, heat transfer, smoke, gas dispersion and wind behavior for complex building and industrial environments.

Prandtlflow supports informed design decisions for factories, mechanical rooms, data centers, facades and energy facilities where simplified calculations cannot fully capture three-dimensional performance.

Ventilation and thermal performance

Understand airflow movement, heat buildup and system effectiveness

CFD can show how supply air, exhaust systems, heat sources and building geometry interact. The results help identify stagnant zones, recirculation, excessive temperatures and opportunities to improve system performance.

  • Air velocity and flow-path visualization
  • Temperature distribution and heat-removal assessment
  • Natural, mechanical and hybrid ventilation comparison
  • Equipment placement and airflow optimization

Battery Energy Storage Systems

BESS ventilation and gas-dispersion modeling

Model heat release, ventilation effectiveness and the movement of potentially flammable or hazardous gases within containers, rooms and supporting enclosures. Results can be used to compare ventilation arrangements and support the broader fire and life-safety design process.

  • Temperature distribution around battery racks
  • Hydrogen or other gas concentration mapping
  • Supply and exhaust arrangement comparison
  • Scenario-based ventilation performance assessment
