Physical Modelling

Complementing digital simulations, scaled physical flow modeling provides tangible, empirical insights into complex fluid dynamics and mixing behavior within your equipment. RJM utilizes advanced physical modelling facilities to test design concepts, visualize flow patterns, and validate performance characteristics prior to full-scale implementation.

RJM uses physical modelling (often in conjunction with CFD modelling) to help identify fuel / air flow issues such as uneven distribution through the air ductwork or fuel pipes, which can result in sub-optimal fuel flow at the burner or nozzle.

Running iterative tests and filming dynamic fuel / air flows in 3D models constructed out of transparent material enables RJM’s engineers to develop and validate flow solutions off-line, prior to the design, manufacture and installation of any modifications that may be required.
