Profile: SDEA Solutions ltd is a technical consultancy company specializing in providing engineering solutions that require advance engineering. Using numerical CFD and FEA simulations a more detailed assessment may be carried out on complex geometric designs with non-homogeneous materials and complex thermal boundary conditions such as transient heat sources. In addition to the direct simulation of heat transfer processes ? conduction, convection and radiation ? other associated physics such as fluid flow, electromagnetic and Joule heating may also be incorporated into the simulation in order to allow a full system assessment of coupled multi-physics technologies. The detailed understanding of the thermal performance of a design can be obtained and used to inform engineering decisions on operation and design optimisation.
