R&D Projects

Development and study of innovative endovascular balloon system for the local administration of innovative drug.

Methanol production from CO and CO2 in a plug flow reactor was studied using Ansys Fluent. The study incorporated catalytic reactions and the water gas shift reaction, with zeolite particles introduced to enhance methanol yield.

The project aims to enhance 3D Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) analysis for detecting coronary plaque. It developed an automated system integrating IVUS and angiography data to create 3D artery models. These models support CFD simulations to analyze blood flow, aiding clinical diagnosis, using Ansys Fluent.

The project created a CFD code to simulate blade rotation in a paddlewheel flow meter, focusing on optimizing industrial mixing processes in single-phase and two-phase flows. The simulations were validated with experimental data, using Ansys Fluent.

The project developed a simulation method to assess vehicle emission control systems' durability during design. Using Axisuite® and Ansys Fluent, it evaluated emissions reduction over the system's lifespan, leading to new software and methodologies for optimizing pollution control.

The project focused on developing a CFD model for the deNOx process in a Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) regenerator to reduce NOx emissions. Simtec used Ansys Fluent and Chemkin to simulate gas-solid flow and detailed gas phase reactions, achieving the first successful multiphase CFD simulation of an FCC regenerator with advanced chemistry modeling.
