Services from BHR Group: Virtual Modelling

Save time and money in your design process with virtual engineering and testing using our wide range of specialist design tools including design guides and simulations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA). BHRSolutions helps improve the plant, system and product design process with a wide range of modelling services which use an array of simulation tools, backed up by physical testing facilities. Whether you need to bring a new or modified product design to market quickly, to predict a major change in your process or equipment, or to model a failure incident, our facilities can help you.

Computational Analysis and Simulation
Our computational analysis, modelling and simulation techniques range from simple spreadsheets to the development of complex CFD and FEA codes and MathCAD models, or knowledge-based or data analysis techniques such as neural networks, image analysis and wavelet analysis.

The Benefits of Virtual Testing

  • Review inherently dangerous processes safely
  • Focus physical testing on optimised processes/equipment
  • Maxima/minima 'testing' without damage to test machinery
  • Produce response surface models to predict system behaviour
  • Assess how control and supervisory systems will influence performance
  • Trouble shoot components and systems by analysing field and data and reproducing the response within a simulation

Applications include:

  • Flow modelling in detail using CFD
  • Flow distribution and pressure surge analysis in pipeline networks
  • Structural analysis
  • Tribological assessment of materials
  • Image analysis for droplet counting to assess mixing performance
  • Elastomer Lifetime Prediction model (FEA)
  • Explosive Decompression model - MODES
  • Ejector sizing software
  • Mixer performance models
  • Lifetime cost calculations of major assets for the water industry

Software Capabilities

  • Assess complex thermodynamic, reaction, turbulence and flow phenomena
  • Change geometry and fluid properties and view results instantly
  • Virtual engineering of whole systems
  • Assess operating environment effects on new and aged materials
  • Assess effects of design or process changes
  • Vary material properties, and identify ideal materials of construction
  • Simulation and analysis of nonlinear phenomena and materials
