The industrial uses of digital simulation continue to diversify, benefiting from constant innovations, the fruit of the collaborative work of the academic and industrial worlds. This feedback provides an example of the issues of sizing and optimization of heat exchangers used in the propulsion systems of technological ships (submarines, aircraft carriers). Improving the performance of these heat exchangers, designed to meet specifications with strong operational and functional requirements (compactness, safety, durability, etc.), requires having digital methods that are both precise and rapid, to produce useful data for engineers and designers.
A research program undertaken over nearly a decade by an international shipbuilder, in collaboration with academic researchers who are experts in modeling and simulation of complex flows, has made it possible to develop an innovative calculation method. Validated by comparison with reference results (tests and calculations), the proposed physical and digital modeling has reached a technological maturity allowing its use to meet concrete industrial needs.
