Thermal flow simulation for spatial energy planning

• Lake waters offer a huge energy store that can be used efficiently, ecologically and economically
• Flow simulations create a basis for planning in order to determine the basic conditions and requirements for sustainable thermal utilization.
• Clarification of the expected thermal and fluid mechanical conditions in the water body for authorities / planners / energy suppliers
• Digitization of the depth maps into a 3D model
• Simulation shows the temperature stratification with supply and return for heating and cooling operation
• Temporal resolution of temperature fluctuations in the water body
• Determination of the areas of influence with variation of supply and return geometry

Utilization of a harbor basin for cooling and heating office buildings.

• Thermal simulation to determine the influence of temperature
• Design of the supply and return lines on the quay to prevent short circuits
• Variation of the number of inlets and outlets to avoid high flow velocities
• Dimensioning of the intake boxes to prevent fish from being drawn in
• Biological compatibility
