Recommending a CFD Consultant
Recommending a CFD Consultant
(OP)
We need to do some CFD work to analyze one of our products; air flow over a heatsink, nothing too complicated. Could you please recommend any good CFD consultants/companies to approach, preferably in California or on the west coast. I already contacted a few, including ANSYS and Fluent, but I can not judge who to go with because I have no experience in CFD.
Thanks,
Thanks,

We use Ansys for our FEA in-house, but for consultancy they have always recommended independant firms. They are already the owners of CFX, but have also just bought-out Fluent, so I don't know what will happen there.
An indepednat specialist fluid dynamics consultancy might be best for what you are talking about. The only ones that I have used are Zeta Dynamics and Flosolve. Both have a very good service. I'm afriad they're both in the UK, but I have worked with Zeta from Australia before and they don't seem to have a problem with travelling at their own cost even for the smallest jobs/enquiries.
Hope this helps.

The non conformal meshing of the heatsink asembly can be adjusted in any direction (the slack values) and elongated to capture the downwind hot air tail if you are in a blown air application.
