  • Publication number: 20260010691
    Abstract: Systems and methods for digitally simulating a fluid flow in a three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) model of a simulation space include digitally simulating movement of one or more digital particles representing the fluid from one or more first voxels in a mesh to one or more second voxels in the mesh, performing one or more interaction operations on the one or more digital particles at the one or more second voxels to determine a distribution of the one or more digital particles. A first quantity represented by the distribution of the one or more digital particles is based on a temperature and a pressure at the one or more second voxels and a reference fluid density. A second quantity represented by the distribution of the one or more digital particles is based on the reference fluid density, velocities of the one or more digital particles, and a mean fluid velocity.

  • Publication number: 20250390646
    Abstract: Systems and methods for digitally simulating a multiphase fluid flow in a three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) model of a simulation space include receiving a digital representation of a simulation space, the digital representation including a three-dimensional CAD model of the simulation space including a mesh represented as a plurality of voxels; and digitally simulating a multiphase fluid flow in the digital representation of the simulation space. While simulating the multiphase fluid flow, one or more voxels in the digital representation with an incorrect phase separation are identified; and a local diffusivity parameter of the identified one or more voxels are altered to correct the incorrect phase separation.

  • Patent number: 11042674
    Abstract: The description describes one or more processing devices and one or more hardware storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more processing devices, to cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations including modeling the porous material as a two-dimensional interface, in a simulation space, in which fluid flows and sound waves travel through the porous material and experience pressure and acoustic losses. The operations also include simulating, in the simulation space, fluid flow and propagation of sound waves, the activity of the fluid being simulated so as to simulate movement of elements within the simulation space and across the interface, where the simulation of the movement of the elements across the interface is governed by the model.

  • Patent number: 10831952
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing data representing the effect of tortuosity on the acoustic behavior of a fluid in a porous medium. One of the methods includes generating by a first data processing program of the data processing apparatus, a model of acoustic behavior of a fluid in a porous medium including an effect of tortuosity, with the model comprising a time variable indicative of a sound speed of the fluid. The method includes rescaling the time variable of the model based on the sound speed in a fluid in the porous medium. The method also includes simulating the acoustic behavior including the effect of tortuosity of the porous medium based on the rescaling of the time-related variables within the model.
