Predicting Cavitation in a Centrifugal Pump with CFD
The boiling temperature of a liquid has a direct relationship with the surrounding environmental pressure. As the pressure drops the liquid boils at lower temperature. You might have noticed this if you are living in higher altitudes, where water boils at a temperature lower than 100℃

What's New In 2022?
Abaqus is a household name in the world of finite element analysis (FEA). Widely used across academia and industry alike, the software is highly regarded for its accuracy, efficiency, and reliability. As a cradle-to-grave solution for your FEA needs, Abaqus has far-reaching applications across numerous fields in engineering and physical sciences- from heavy equipment to electronics to medical devices. Its powerful solver and advanced features allow for reduced expenditure in prototyping and testing, increased productivity, and faster turnaround times. None of this would be possible without the rigorous development and validation being conducted continuously at Dassault Systèmes. As we approach the holiday season, a new and improved version of Abaqus will be released for 2022.

Characteristics of Wind Turbine Noise
Noise generated by a wind turbine can be categorized into two types: aerodynamic noise and mechanical noise. The primary sources of mechanical noise of the turbine are gearboxes, bearings, and accessories. Due to technical advancements, mechanical noise is reduced to the extent that it is not considered a significant noise source from the turbine as it previously was.

Computational Fluid Dynamic Simulation - Pipeline T-Junction
Fluid flow in a T junction – sounds simple right? However, it can be more challenging than one might expect. Sharp T-junctions (shown on the left) have been known to cause issues in the pipeline industry. With abrasive materials transported through these pipes, they are damaged and corroded, thereby leading to high replacement costs. With a smoothed junction (shown on the right), the severity of the flow is reduced, which alleviates the problem. To learn more on how to model such systems – feel free to contact ENA2!

Finite Element Analysis Simulation
Drill Bit
Drilling operations produce enormous stress on a drill bit. This is due to the conditions of the rock and/or soil it is drilling through as well as the speed by which it rotates and moves. Therefore, optimization of the bit geometry is of utmost importance to minimize stress concentrations. At ENA2, we use finite element analysis (FEA) to examine the behavior of drilling equipment. It is our goal to provide cost-effective solutions which are reliable and long-lasting. If you have any questions or want to learn more feel free to contact ENA2!

Seismic Analysis Simulation Just BioFibre Home
Using Dlubal Software, a seismic analysis was completed on a house in Victoria, BC that was constructed from Just BioFiber Structural Solutions blocks. Just BioFibre blocks are a revolutionary building material that are carbon negative (decrease the overall amount of C02 in the atmosphere). The animation displays the deformational behaviour of the house if it were to be subjected to an earthquake.
