TOSCA Fluid is a modular system for the topology optimization of channel flow problems in conjunction with standard CFD-solvers such as STAR-CD and FLUENT. Starting from a meshed initial design space, an optimized topological design of a flow channel is determined by TOSCA Fluid automatically. After the optimization procedure the new geometry of the optimized channel is provided as a result.

Due to this new and unique optimization approach with direct CFD-solver runtime coupling only one single CFD solver run is necessary for the whole optimization process. TOSCA Fluid therefore is the right tool for large real world CFD models.

With it’s capabilities for process integration and it’s unique performance TOSCA Fluid is an important resource for the development of new, innovative products and gives a fast return-on-investment.

Application areas:

TOSCA Fluid is an efficient optimization suite for all fluid flow systems existing f. e. in

	Engine componets like clean air duct, turbocharger, charge air cooler, EGR, etc.
	Powertrain, Exhaust and climates systems
	General Piping, valves, fittings etc.
	Heat Exchangers
	Process equipment

with the intention to:

	reduce flow induced noice
	ensure enhanced fluid flow uniformity
	prevent flow detachment, wakes and recirculation zones
	reduce pressure loss.
