ELEMENTS CFD Optimization

ELEMENTS by Streamline Solutions, a joint venture between ARC and ENGYS Ltd., is used in tandem with a 1D code to evaluate and optimize the air side performance of a cooling system, including heat-exchangers, fans and HVAC modules. Exceptional computing scalability (minimal HPC licenses) permits quick iterative cycles.
