swimming pool cfd temperature velocity streamlines design comfort

A proper swimming pool design can be challenging in many ways. To ensure full human comfort, proper disinfectant distribution, removal of pollutants and homogeneous temperature distribution, a swimming pool CFD analysis is the most cost-effective and accurate way.

By analyzing the flow field in a pool you can decrease costs of building and operating a swimming pool facility and equipment. Besides analyzing the pool, CFD Freelancing offers calculations on the pumps, inlet vents, drains and duct-work designs.

Solutions for the pool:

  • Hydraulic design of swimming pools or any kind of pools
  • Functionalities of recirculation in swimming pools
    • Supply of disinfectant to the pool basin
    • Mixing of disinfectant over the pool basin
    • Removal of pollutants from pool basin
  • Thermal comfort of occupants: proper water flow and temperature distribution
  • Air bubble movement, distribution, size and velocity

Solutions for environment (indoor swimming pool CFD):

  • human comfort calculations
  • temperature distributions
  • evaporation analysis

Solutions for the pool supply system:

  • CFD modelling to design recirculation system properly
  • Optimization of inlets and outlets
  • Fluid flow analysis of the ductwork, pumps and fittings.

Applications:
